Reviewed By Susan Sewell for Readers' Favorite

A village is stunned when one of its prominent citizens is murdered during an Independence Day cruise in the sensational amateur sleuth mystery, Three Woofs for the Dead White and Blue (Pawtisserie Mysteries) by Laura Quinn. When her parents retired to Florida, Claire returns to her childhood home in North Haven, an affluent suburb of Chicago. After adopting a lovable Eurasier puppy with a finicky appetite, Claire creates and develops enticing and nutritional edibles that appeal to her dog. Her success with her furry baby inspires Claire to market the delectable treats she creates in her kitchen in her home town. The date for her Grand Opening is set for the Fourth of July weekend. During the festivities, a woman and her lover are poisoned. Claire's friend is the prime suspect. Because the police chief is inept and uninterested in conducting a serious investigation, the real killer is still roaming free in the community. With her friend's life at stake, Claire begins nosing around. However, with her Grand Opening looming, she must divide her time between her new business and sleuthing. What is the murderer's motive? Will they strike again?

Three Woofs for the Dead White and Blue (Pawtisserie Mysteries) by Laura Quinn is a delightful cozy mystery that is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of cafe au lait! With untimely deaths and notorious affairs of the heart, intrigue and scandals are the core of the story. The engaging characters, suspenseful plot, and smashing finale create a captivating and sensational storyline. The bakery for canine companions is a brilliant and innovative concept that is a fantastic backdrop for a modern-day Miss Marple. The Posh Pup recipes added at the end of the book are inspired, and I will definitely be using them in my kitchen! I highly recommend this remarkable "tail" to all dog lovers who are amateur sleuth mystery buffs."

1986 - Kate Spenser wacht een wereld vol avonturen terwijl ze vanuit Chicago vliegt om te studeren aan de universiteit van Oxford. Twee weken voordat de zomerklassen beginnen, is de nieuwe aarzeling enthousiast over het verkennen van Europa. Ze weet niet dat de avonturen niet helemaal zijn wat ze zich had voorgesteld. Na een korte ontsnapping in Parijs wil Kate het station Gare d'Austlitz verlaten.
Op de vlucht voor een fracas bij de Eiffeltoren springt James Barrington aan boord van de trein naar Calais, net als hij vertrekt. Liefde komt snel als de charmante Britse punk Kate begeleidt over het Kanaal naar Engeland en door de straten van Londen.

Het lot en een verraderlijke partner splitsten de zielsverwanten uit elkaar, maar gekoesterde herinneringen blijven hangen. Kan de ware liefde door de tijd reizen als toeval, omstandigheid, vrienden en vijanden elk een rol blijven spelen?

I had so much fun putting these puzzles together! Thanks to Sirius XM, I get to hear some great classics on a regular basis. But, there were many on these lists of song titles that I had nearly forgotten. Though admittedly, my memory isn't 100%, lyrics from 30+ years ago come rushing back as soon as the first note comes blasting out from the speakers. So, I've been crooning an expanded repertoire (sorry to anyone within hearing range) of late. I hope you're inspired to do so too!

ALL I NEED IS A MIRACLE
BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE
DONT FORGET ME WHEN IM GONE
DONT LEAVE ME THIS WAY
EVERYBODY HAVE FUN TONIGHT
