Bobbie’s character’s changed for the better, and I really started liking her a lot more in this book. She’d made up her mind about a special guy, the exact one I hoped she’d end up with and things were going pretty well for the murder investigation. Until they weren’t when she was in a life or death situation after facing down a killer.
But her instincts kicked in and someone special’s voice in her head kept her grounded. Our Bobbie lived to sleuth another day and had a special celebration at the end. Just the way I hoped her love life would go too! Bravo to the author!!!

I was excited for book #4 of Lakeside Cottage series and it did not disappoint. Bobbie and her friends have another murder to figure out. Fast paced whodunnit with some friendly romance. Will Bobbie and Kyle finally get that first date? Got to read A Deadly Dunk to find out!
Another great cozy by Cindy Bell.

Dunk
A Deadly Dunk was a definite dunk. It was filled with lots of mystery, adventure, intrigue and friendship. As a hero comes home the unexpected happens with a murder. As Bobbie & Matt try to get to the bottom of it so many different angles appear. Definitely recommend reading this.

good read
The stories are getting better. I’d still would like more of Bailey. Please. Sometimes Bobbie seems a bit older than her age and other times she seems a bit immature getting into fixes with a degree of bravado.
