I just finished this enthralling mystery because I couldn't put it down! 5 STAR Booksprout Review
When a mysterious stranger stumbled into my B&B and whispered his final word, everything changed. He didn’t just crash my party—he brought secrets, enemies, and a lifelong grudge.
I was supposed to be celebrating—with cinnamon rolls, cider, and absolutely not staring at a crime scene.
Now, the whole town thinks my B&B has bad karma.
With everyone talking about the murderous event I needed to unravel this mystery fast.
With my trusty dogs Pip and Watson, who have a talent for pastry theft, and my epic secret spilling bestie, we dig into this stranger’s suspicious past.
When we find out his ex-best friend lives down the street clues start falling into place.
I realize the victim’s past had caught up to haunt him.
But when we receive a cryptic threat and my puppy Pip is dognapped, I’m about to lose my yarn.
I’ve solved murders before—but this one just got personal. I’ve got to solve this mystery and find Pip before a killer gets away with murder and I never get to feed Pip a bacon flavored muffin again.

My Review:

A stranger stumbled into Fiona’s B&B and collapsed. From that moment on, everyone in town whispered behind Fiona's back, claiming that her B&B was now cursed with bad karma. Fiona decides she must find out who this man was, who wanted to harm him and why, and why he chose her B&B to stumble into at that moment.

During Fiona’s investigation into the man’s death, her little puppy Pip is dognapped right in front of the police station while his brother Watson is tied beside him. Fiona is beside herself with worry over Pip and sets out to look for him everywhere, nearly getting arrested in the process for trespassing.

How To Decipher a Murder kept me glued to the pages from the first page to the last without a dull moment in between. The many twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat as I raced to the end, concerned for Pip and wondering what happened to the man and why he stumbled into Fiona’s B&B.

Once I start reading one of Daisy Belle’s books, I can’t take my eyes off the page until I’ve read the last page.

I highly recommend grabbing a copy of How To Decipher a Murder today or any book Daisy Belle has written!
