Chicago detective Piper Sandstone is about to embark on her most dangerous mission ever while hiding in Savory, Alabama. With a price placed on her head by some dirty cops, Piper is forced to go undercover as a waitress at a local café. But when a dognapping and murder shake up the local community, Piper fiinds herself tangled in the mystery. Now, she must hide her unique talents and maintain her cover if she wants to make it home alive.
Savory, better known as Alligator Alley, is not your typical tourist Gulf Coast town. Why? Because it's home to the three-time AKC champion poodle Victory Cup Valentino, but this year bad things are about to go down. Even before Piper can get unpacked, there is a murder, and the poodle goes missing right before the Westminster Dog Show. But before she can get any answers, all hell breaks loose when a body turns up in the bayou and she’s at the center of the crime scene. To top things off, the handsome sheriff is asking too many questions.
Fortunately for Piper, a group of sweet older ladies known as the Dentures and Diamonds Crime Squad is on her side. These quirky amateur sleuths are a force to be reckoned with and they’ve taken a special interest in Piper’s unique skills. Now, they must join forces to solve the mystery and catch the killer before another Savory resident winds up dead.
Mystery on the Half Shell, the third installment in the Savory Mystery Series, is a fun, suspenseful cozy mystery that will keep you riveted to your seat with twists and turns that you won’t see coming.
Grab your copy, get comfy, and enjoy a mystery you won’t forget.
My Review:
The mystery continues in Mystery on the Half Shell the third story in the Piper Sandstone Savory Mystery series by Karen McSpade. Mystery on the Half Shell pulls you deep into its world as the mystery deepens.
The ladies from the Dentures and Diamonds Crime Squad bail Piper out of jail after she was arrested by Jake. Piper and the ladies are still looking for the champion poodle Victory Cup Valentino and his missing handler.
The investigation leads the ladies down to the water where the prize poodle handler’s body is found. What happened to Susan? Who killed her and why? Where is the champion poodle? Is he still alive?
Oh, so many unanswered questions. The mystery and suspense deepens. What is going on?
Piper is still trying to lay low but is she doing a great job? Piper is only being who she is a detective. Being a detective is who she is. Is being a detective worth more than her life? And the plot deepens.
I can’t wait to dive into the next book Killer Gumbo to see what awaits Piper and the ladies. I liked getting to know Piper’s little dog, Mister a bit more. Piper and Mister were on a stakeout and I read about Mister’s floppy ears I instantly thought about Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane's dog Flash.
