Her other roommate Hero the Dalmatian from the local fire station has already earned his namesake even though he is still a puppy in training.  The town of Sweet Pepper has had a series of burglaries and fires that has everyone stumped. The fire seem to be intentionally set.  Then Hero is kidnapped but manages to rescues a little girl at a fire. Stella now has to find the lost dog and an arsonist too. Could Hero’s kidnapper be involved in these fires?The author J.J. Cook did a great job with this novella. I loved the quirky characters, they were lively, funny and full of  personality. I give this great book 5 stars and can not wait for Sweet Pepper Fire Brigade Mystery, Playing with Fire to come out.
