Hop 'Til You Drop

Hop ‘Til You Drop (A Jules & Bun Mystery; Book 3 in the Series by J. M. Griffin 288 pages

I fell in love with Bun, a telepathic Dutch rabbit, during his first outing, in “Left Fur Dead.” And now in this, the third book in the series, little Bun and his owner Juliette “Jules” Bridge continue to be a wonderfully loveable pair of sleuths.

Jules primary source of income is children’s parties that she attends where she brings several of the rabbits she has at her rescue, Fur Bridge Farm. All the rabbits live in hutches in the barn, but Bun has his own room in the house. The conversations Bun and Jules have are sometimes hilarious.

In this episode, Jules has agreed to help out her New Hampshire communitywith the first, and hopefully annual, Hop ‘Til You Drop Easter Egg Hunt. Jules has been assigned to hide the eggs and she takes Bun along…he would never let her end the end of it if she didn’t. After all, Bun’s an expert at finding great places to hide eggs.

As they scout their sector, Bun hops across a dead body. It’s not just any body, but the deceased is Della Meany, a very unpleasant woman who is spearheading the event. Our dynamic duo know that Sheriff Jack Carter would prefer that the not nose around in his investigation. As the bodies begin to pile up, he turns to Jules for help in snooping in places his uniform can’t get him into.

I love the interaction between Bun and Jules. Bun is a super confident little dude, who knows his worth and is incredibly nosy.

Hop ‘Til You Drop receives 5 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
