Doggerland (Sam Applewhite Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Heide Goody (Author), Iain Grant (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

There’s something very wrong at the Otterside care home.

When Sam Applewhite tries to help a friend who’s lost a beloved pet she finds that it’s just the first in a series of seemingly unconnected deaths. Is it her imagination, or do all of them somehow point back to the same residential home for seniors?

Sam’s skills are in demand elsewhere however, as she must orchestrate a safety drill with animal actors, cook dinner on an abandoned oil rig and keep an eye on those vikings who are building a longship.

When the police don’t see the pattern, it’s all down to Sam, and the closer she gets to uncovering what’s going on at Otterside, the more danger she’s in.

If Carl Hiaasen lived in England instead of Florida, this might be the kind of book he'd write. We have a "murdered" pet turkey, a frozen chunk of wooly mammoth meat, some really serious crimes being planned by unlikely criminals, a tribe of wanna-be Vikings, and a brilliant young woman employed by a private security company who must put all the pieces together before it's too late. I don't want to give away the plot, but you wouldn't believe me anyway if I told you. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Book 2 but works fine as stand-alone
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2021
Note: While this is book 2 in the series, it works jut fine as a stand-alone story.

What a crazy, crazy romp! Take a chunk of mammoth, a murdered turkey, old folks home gang, and a Viking longship, and you get a very strange, quirky mystery. Sam is still living with her dad (a former famous-ish magician) and working for the security firm DefCon4. Her friend asks her to look into the mysterious death of her pet turkey, Drumstick. From there, things just get weirder.

I thoroughly enjoyed book 1, Sealfinger, and this one is good too, tho I did like book 1 a little better. This one rambles a bit more, feels more sprawled out. At times I couldn’t see where we were going and not sure we’d ever get there (which is what I imagine it feels like to live with the Odinsons [a constantly cheerfully scheming family]).

I really loved this idea of creating an Ice Age animals park. Richard, a billionaire and Sam’s ex-boyfriend, wants to start with a mammoth. Hence, Sam is hired to transport a frozen chunk of mammoth. Also she gets hired to do some assessments of safety to public and this gets hilarious when a troupe is hired to dress up as Ice Age mammals and chase a crowd of potential zoo goers. This made me laugh so much! Also, I learned that Doggerland was the Ice Age land bridge between Europe and the modern UK.

Meanwhile, we got some interesting characters over at the old folks home, Otterside. Polly is new to this little gang of tightly knit friends. Strawb (short for Strawberry because of a birthmark) is gently flirtatious and very likeable. Sam is at the center of things again as she was hired to provide a short class of fitness monitoring equipment. Also her dad wants an audience to dust off the cobwebs in front of.

Then we have the Odinsons, modern-day Vikings that are proud of not having regular jobs and being able to scavenge up resources. Their latest project is to build a Viking longship. Ha! They are so lucky to have the guidance of their women to keep them mostly grounded, out of jail, and injuries stitched up. Hilda (or was it Greta?) is the brains behind the brawn. If not for her, we wouldn’t have a longship for the big rallying end of this odd adventure. Yes, the story finally gets there, giving us answers to who killed who and why. All together, it was a fun book that provided many chuckles. 4/5 stars.

The Narration: Matthew Lloyd Davies gave another good performance. He nailed the humor every time and I like his variety of voices. I do wonder a little why a male narrator was chosen when the center of the series is a woman (Sam Applewhite), but with book 1 I really couldn’t tell who would be the main character of the series until the end, so maybe they went with Davies because most of the characters are male. Anyhoo, Davies has passable female voices and he has unique voices for all characters, pulling on his dynamic use of regional accents. I especially liked his old folks voices and the voice for the patriarch of the Odinsons. There were no tech issues with this recording. 5/5 stars.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own.

I really loved this story
The creativeness of the characters was fantastic and the dialog was great. Being American I barely understood the Europeans slang but got the gist and it was still funny
Love the Sam Applewhite stories

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2021
Sam Applewhite returns in Doggerland. These books can be read as standalones, but you do miss someone the character development without reading in order.

Per the pattern of the first book, we learn the details up front and then watch Zam piece it all together, while dodging some quirky circumstances along the way.

If you enjoy comedy, mystery, quirkyness, and characters that feel real, I’d recommend checking this series out.

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources for the review copy and the opportunity to honestly review this book on the blog tour. All opinions are my own and unbiased.

This book is great. The plot is borderline preposterous, yet you will care about the characters, it is beautifully paced and full of superb humour. I will never experience an airline safety briefing in the same way ever again. Read it and find out why.

Second book Can be read separately but I'd recomend reading the first book as it explains the relationship between the characture. Great read as usual.
