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.

Crab Cake Criminal, the fifth 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:

Crab Cake Criminal is the fifth and final book in the Piper Sandstone Savory Mystery series by Karen McSpade. It has been fun reading the Piper Sandstone Savory Mystery series. I have thoroughly enjoyed following Piper and the ladies as they investigated the case of the missing champion poodle Victory and the murder cases. The suspense kept me glued to the story through each book in the series. 

I was very surprised when the killer and the reasons behind the killing and dognapping came out. I do believe it came as a shock to Piper and the ladies as well. 

I have to say that I am sad to see the end of this series or is it the end? I am not quite sure how the end came about. I am hoping for more books with Piper and the Dentures and Diamonds Crime Squad ladies. Oh, I almost forgot about Mister. I can’t leave him out as he is so cute and lovable. 

I recommend Crab Cake Criminal to all cozy mystery fans! Grab a copy of Crab Cake Criminal today!
