Review: Scooping Up Scandal: A Cozy Dog Mystery (Little Dog Diner Book 7) by Emmie Lyn

 


Turning thirty can be murder! 

When a body is discovered next to the Little Dog Diner on her milestone birthday, Dani Mackenzie finds herself scooping up a scandal instead of cutting cake.

The prime suspect is the new owner of the Blueberry Bay Grapevine, but the victim’s stepbrother and ex-girlfriend also have means, motive, and opportunity.

With this trio of suspects, it will take a good nose to uncover whodunnit. At least Dani has her best friend—her Jack Russell, Pip—at her side to help sniff out the killer! But in the meantime, her kick-off to her thirties is turning into more of an upside-down cake than a celebration as she uncovers money, a business scandal, and thwarted love at the core of this crime.

It will take the victim’s black Labrador and finding a winning lottery ticket to solve this mystery, but Dani never throws in the towel. Will she and Pip once again use their experience at solving mysteries to bring justice to Misty Harbor, Maine, or will they be caught in the crosshairs of the killer?

 

My Review: 

An entertaining Whodunit.

Great characters and an interesting plot held my attention the entire time I was reading this book.  Every time I thought I knew who the killer was, I had someone else to add to the list.  I was surprised by the reveal at the end of the book. 

This is the first book that I have read by this author and now I am ready to read more.  Even though this is book seven in the series, I felt it read well as a stand-alone.
