Death of a Critic

Death of a Critic: A Sherlock Paws Cozy Mystery

Kit Sterling

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bookstore owner Molly Stanford is asked to be a panelist at the Calico Bay Book Festival. She thought she would be sharing her love of books. Instead, she becomes entangled in the murder of caustic book critic Bentley Crouch. One of the suspects is her friend’s sister and Molly, along with her friends and terrier mix Sherlock, work to prove Lavinia’s innocence. Can they find the killer before they strike again.

Sterling does a nice job of creating a plot that is fast paced and easy to follow. The characters are colorful and move the story along. There is no shortage of suspects and motives, which keeps the reader guessing until the end. This book is part of a series but it works well as a standalone. This is definitely a fun cozy mystery and I would highly recommend it!
