death of a six-foot teddy bear

Summary: When a man turns up dead in a teddy bear costume, Ginger and the other ladies of the Bargain Hunters Network learn a lesson about trusting in God rather than in wealth as they try to solve the crime and clear one of their own.



Trish's Take: Death of a Six-Foot Teddy Bear is the second installment of the Bargain Hunters Mystery series by Sharon Dunn. I read the first book of the series, Death of a Garage Sale Newbie, and knew I was in for a treat with the second book.

My friend De'Etta calls these books "cozy mysteries". I think that's a pretty good term to describe this type of book. It's a wonderful book to have while you curl up in your favorite chair with a soft blanket and a warm cup of coffee or tea. The characters are charming and likable, and Sharon Dunn has done a remarkable job of making her charming and likable characters also insightful and intelligent. Just when you're getting settled and start thinking the plot is becoming predictible, Sharon will throw in a twist, mix things up a bit, and add a little surprise or two that will grab your attention.

Death of a Six-Foot Teddy Bear is a great read ~ something to pull out on an afternoon where you want something fun and interesting to read, and you want to be entertained by the style of writing, the characters and the story itself. There are twists and turns to keep your attention, and trust me, the ending is NOT the predictible one you expect it to be! Definitely a good read ~ take it along the next time you go to your cabin, the beach, the swimming pool or want to curl up in your favorite chair and enjoy a good read for a while. You won't be disappointed.

Sharon Dunn is the author of Death of a Garage Sale Newbie, book one in the Bargain Hunters Mysteries, and the Ruby Taylor mystery novels including Sassy Cinderella, which was voted Book of the Year by American Christian Fiction Writers. She earned a BA in television production and a master’s in history Sharon lives in Bozeman, Montana, with her husband of twenty years, three children, two cats, and lots of dust bunnies.


P.S. A quick note to Sharon: I'm quite envious that you live in Bozeman ~ I grew up in Billings, and Bozeman is where my husband and I plan to retire (in about 20 years). I'll look you up! LOL
