Bonfires, Barbeques and Bodies

The Arizona Summers Mysteries, Book 3

By: Susan Keene

Narrated by: Jennifer Darnell

Arizona Summers has three loves: running the family-owned restaurant at Moonstone Lake, helping Sheriff Keith Wesley solve crimes, and the new hobby of photography. The first of her pictures reveals a body in the woods. After closer inspection, the death is ruled murder by crossbow, just like many other bodies found over the years near Moonstone Lake. The only thing they have in common is they all hunted at Goliath Deer Reserve, and none of their possessions or their vehicles were ever seen again.

While Arizona and Sheriff Wesley try to unravel the latest crime, another mysterious gentleman enters her Aunt Sandy’s life with a questionable past. To add to her problems, her mother, Emma, disappears after taking a large amount of money from her savings account. An internet search reveals a dangerous gigolo who makes a habit of taking advantage of widows with a little money in the bank. When Arizona confronts him, she finds herself cornered and a victim of a knife attack, only to be rescued by the loveable mutt, Nutmeg, but with deadly consequences.

Come follow Arizona’s latest adventure as she sets out to make Moonstone Lake a safer place to live as she navigates living in a small town.

Cute, cozy and fun

It was a quick read about solving a mystery in a small town with Arizona and her dog nutmeg. Nutmeg was my favorite. I enjoyed the storyline but the performance of the audiobook felt a little flat.
