Death of a Six Foot Teddy Bear, by Sharon Dunn
Another murder mystery for the Bargain Hunters Network–only this time, one of them is a suspect!
Ginger and her husband, Earl, are in for a wild ride in Calamity, Nevada, along with the other BHN ladies–college student Kindra, mother-of-four Suzanne, and sassy senior Arleta. They came to town for the Invention Expo and some outlet shopping, but instead they endure lost luggage, broken air conditioning, and a long line of people angry at hotel owner Dustin Clydell. With the Invention Expo and the Squirrel Lovers’ convention both in town, the Wind-Up Hotel has somehow overbooked.
Before the night is over, a man has been found dead in a teddy bear costume, the Invention Expo has been canceled, Binky the water-skiing squirrel has gone missing…and the authorities want to talk to one of the BHN ladies! What else could possibly go wrong?
Once again, the Bargain Hunters Network swings into sleuth mode to solve the murder–and this time, clear one of their own. Along the way, Ginger discovers something even better than a bargain.
Sally Says: If you love a good whodunit, you’ll enjoy Sharon Dunn’s newest book and series. As I read, I found clues everywhere, but of course I couldn’t figure out who’d done it or why.
The characters in the book, an unlikely assortment of four women, are die-hard bargain shoppers who’ve formed the Bargain Hunters Network. The story focuses more on plot than character, but there are a few character story lines that are picked up from the previous book, Death of a Garage Sale Newbie. You don’t need to have read the first book to enjoy this one, but I’m sure you’ll want to read all of Sharon’s mysteries when you’re done.
Here’s what others are saying about Sharon’s book:
“A quirky ‘who done it,’ Death of a Six-Foot Teddy Bear is the perfect mystery for women who love bargains and surprise endings.”
- Melanie Dobson, author of Together for Good and Going for Broke“If you enjoy whimsy, humor, and fun characters with your mystery, Death of a Six-Foot Teddy Bear is for you! But beware! Under the laughs are buried strong spiritual truths. A delightful, thoughtful read.”
- Gayle Roper, award-winning author of Fatal Deduction“The bargain hunter gals are at it again! Dunn’s riotous romp seamlessly tucks in truth and light and leaves us in stitches. A must-read for those who think living by faith is boring.”
- Lois Richer, author of Healing Tides
