A shocking murder at Holly’s work put her friend in danger of a prison sentence. Can Holly hand over the killer to the police before it’s too late? Wise-cracking Holly is back for another adventure, and this time the victim is someone everyone wants dead. My first thought after reading this cozy mystery is that being a swimsuit exec is dangerous to one’s health. If you’re not a victim, you’re a suspect. I’ve known for years that retail is cutthroat, but murder. Thank goodness for the writing talent of Susie Black to make it such fun to read.
Like the other books in this delightful series, this book is superbly written with wacky characters you’ll cling to, a fast-moving mystery, hilarious dialogue that’ll have you laughing aloud, and a lovable dog who helps Holly in the nick of time. You’ll run the gamut of emotion while reading. It’s more than worth the price for hours of entertainment.
I could spend hours detailing why the plot is so good, but I won’t spoil it for you. Susie Black has a gift for writing cozy mysteries with comedic dialogue. Once a reader starts reading, she can’t stop. Addictive, yes, but also flawless and error-free. The writing is up there with some of the best in the cozy mystery genre.
When I finished Death by Cutting Table, I wanted to read it all over again. That, my fellow readers, is a sign of an epic cozy mystery. I hope there are more Holly cozy mystery adventures in the future. Until they are written, I will reread this book and the others in the series.
My Rating: 5+ stars
