This year I decided to include Howliday Inn, the second in the Bunnicula series, in my Halloween reading. I have a clear memory of reading this one when I was in elementary school and LOVING it. But I’ve never read it as an adult, and I couldn’t remember what happened in the story. I was curious about why I loved this book so much, since it was a foundation experience for me as a reader. And it turns out Howliday Inn is a cozy mystery, one of my favorite genres. There’s a murder at a pet hotel, and Chester the cat becomes an amateur sleuth, ready to solve the crime. I think this is the first cozy mystery I ever read, and I love that young-me loved the experience just as much as adult-me does.
