About this ebook
When Wisconsin veterinarian Doc dies, his family learns that to inherit his fortune, they must decipher the cryptic codicil he added to his will---"Take Doofus squirrel-fishing." And they can only do that by talking to Doc's friends, reading the memoir Doc wrote of a Christmas season decades earlier, searching through Doc's correspondence, and discovering clues around them.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you are looking for something humorous, with a touch of sweetness, kindness and love, then this is your winter read. It was one that I found fun to cuddle up, on a cold day (not to mention our oil had run out, so it was deathly cold) and really have a good laugh. It is the kind of read that can warm your heart and really make you enjoy all the subtle things in life. As we travel through the life and times of the good vet, we come to find out that there is so much more to him than his family gave him credit for and that he wasn’t senile when he set the task for acquiring his fortune. In fact, he was likely the most sane of the lot, as he taught them so much about life and themselves, from beyond the grave. I liked the light-hearted nature this read took, from soft topics right through to some that are hard for many to approach. Hidden under the doc’s rules and memoirs, this book has a great message, and one portrayed in an excellent way. I truly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to recommending it to friends and even gifting it to a few, for a good holiday read. **I received this book for free and voluntarily provided my honest and unbiased review.
