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, chaos erupts 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.
Murder and Grits, the first 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.
My Review:
Piper Sandstone is a detective from Chicago. She turned in some bad cops, and now she is hiding out in Savory, Alabama, under witness protection. Piper is supposed to lay low for a while, but on her first day in Savory, a world-champion dog is dognapped, and someone is murdered.
Piper tries to stay out of the investigation but can’t help herself especially when a group of sweet older ladies known as the Dentures and Diamonds Crime Squad is on her side.
Murder And Grits is a sweet little cozy mystery that is sure to hold your attention for a little bit as it is a short story but it sure does read like a full-length novel. Once you start reading the Piper Sandstone Savory Mystery you won’t be able to stop until you have read each story.
The mystery and suspense alone, not to mention all the twists and turns, will keep you glued to each page, unable to turn your eyes away for one second with these sweet older ladies on the scene.
They remind me of Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote, Madeline Matlock in the new series Matlock, and a little bit of The Golden Girls as well. I would like to see the Piper Sandstone Savory Mystery series made into a TV series.
I can’t wait to read more in this series. I highly recommend Murder And Grits to all fans of sweet cozy mysteries! Grab a copy of Murder And Grits today to start this wonderful series!
