A Pawsome Summer for Murder

Samantha Davies Mystery, #7

by

S.A. Kazlo

A murder during a charity fishing tournament nets a number of suspects.

A Pawsome Summer for Murder is the seventh book in author S.A. Kazlo’s fun, cozy mystery series featuring Samantha Davies, her friends, family, and pet dachshund, Porkchop. While participating in a charity fishing tournament to benefit the local animal shelter, Sam hooks a big one. However, what she reels in is the body of a local woman who had been protesting the catch-and-release event, advocating on behalf of the fish. With the unique discovery of the victim’s body and quirky characters, many of whom become possible suspects in the woman’s murder, even readers new to the series will be able to follow the story and enjoy the mystery. 

The main character is divorcee Samantha Davies, who is now engaged to the town of Wings Falls, New York, lead police detective Hank Johnson, which is convenient since she has frequently been involved in several recent murder investigations. Sam is sweet and determined to help get to the truth behind Luna Wheeler’s death. She is assisted by her cousin Candie and dachshund sidekick, Porkchop. The story was an entertaining and quick mystery, perfect for a laid-back evening with a book. 

I recommend A PAWSOME SUMMER FOR MURDER to cozy mystery enthusiasts and dachshund lovers.
