Sam Darling #4
Will You Marry Me?
There's a Chicken Convention in town as Sam Darling takes her curiosity on the road and tries to solve another murder--and this time the feathers are flying!
Savvy sleuth Sam and her canine sidekick Clancy are at it again in the fourth book in Jerilyn Dufresne's bestselling cozy mystery series. Sam and her sweetheart George are headed off for a well-earned vacation. That is, until Clancy digs up a mysterious human bone. With help from the Bobs—Bob Bob, Jim Bob, Joe Bob, Mike Bob, Billy Bob, and Mary Bob—Sam jumps in as always to help figure out who done it.
How far will Sam go to solve the case? Far enough to squeeze into a fluffy chicken suit and infiltrate the world of those who love to cluck. Once again, intrepid Sam goes from the frying pan into the fire…but will she get burned?
Early readers are calling this the funniest mystery yet. Order now and get it when Will You Marry Me? is released on October 1!
Praise for Jerilyn Dufresne and the Sam Darling Mysteries
Dufresne has created a charming, nosy, and slightly irreverent character in Samantha Darling, the heroine in Who Killed My Boss?, a fast-paced cozy that takes place in the small town of Quincy, Illinois.
Beth Amos, author of the Mattie Winston Mystery series (as Annelise Ryan)
The plot kept me guessing until nearly the end and I am looking forward to reading further adventures! Fun and entertaining read. Highly recommended… well done!
Anne Kelleher, author of A Once and Future Love and Wickham’s Folly
Dufresne shows her gift of storytelling as she moves the plot forward, introducing believable characters and a complicated plot. Recommended to everyone who enjoys a well-written, fun, cozy mystery!
Kimberly Shursen, author of Itsy Bitsy Spider and Hush
And from Amazon reviewers:
…It’s like reading the old Nancy Drew books with others. Loved it very very much!
…This book was very well written and I loved all the humor sprinkled throughout the story. Characters were loveable, not to mention the dog. Great ending.
…Sam Darling is the kind of gal you wish you could know in real life. Funny, quirky, entertaining. And her “partner,” Clancy the dog, helped make this book just plain fun to read. When’s the next one?!
Look for Jerilyn Dufresne's first three Sam Darling mysteries Who Killed My Boss? Any Meat in That Soup? and Can You Picture This? Coming soon is the box set of all three Triple Trouble

When you find an author who takes a scenario you've never, ever read before and makes it so funny that you can hardly continue reading because of "laughter tears," you've found a winner. I've read all the books in this series; loved every one of them, but "Will You Marry Me" had me in stitches. I'm a tough sell when it comes to humor. Enter a convention of humans in chickens costumes .... listen to their clucks of conversation ... realize that the convention is not just about being a chicken, but has additional perks, you can't help but join in on the fun reading this hilarious, upbeat cozy mystery. What starts out as a road trip, ends up in more of a village than a town trying to solve a murder while working with Jim Bob, Bob Bob, and Mary Bob and other quirky characters. And then there's the final "awww moment we've all been waiting for. This one has it all; romance, mystery, murder and downright slapstick humor. Author Jerilyn DuFresne is around to stay, and that's a good thing.

Will you Marry Me: As posted on Amazon: Every book in this series gets better. The story line is perfect, as the charactors feel like real people (dog) to the point I feel sad when I come to the end of the book. I just love Sam as she so mnuch reminds me of myself, and it is a trat to read that quirky is ok. I just love how people kept coming up chicken! The romance between Sam and George is so sweet. Can't wait to read t he next one!

Not as impressed
I enjoyed the book. Just not as impressed as I was the with the previous 3 in this series. The whole chicken thing was humorous at first, then just made me feel weird and uncomfortable. The characters are relatable. The plot was good. Just wasn't as into this book as the others.

This fourth volume in a very funny murder mystery series, finds Sam Darling, George, and Clancy on a vacation to the Grand Canyon.
Sam, it seems, has forgotten her new meds for her recently diagnosed ADHD. The meds contain her impulsiveness of actions and words. Sam needs her meds.
Having taken a side trip while in Missouri, Sam ends up in a tiny town in a one town county. While giving Clancy a walk as George fills up the car with gasoline, Clancy outdoes herself and begins digging...as only a chow/Lab mix can. Clancy proudly presents Sam with a human bone.
The town's Sheriff asks George for his help, (George is a Detective in Quincy.) George wants to go to the Grand Canyon... Sam wants to be deputized to help...especially with the Chicken Convention.
The fun begins and also the bodies appear. Just who is the killer?
A quick read with humor and a good murder. This book has it all with likable characters and romance thrown in as an extra. Enjoy!

Sam and George are off on holiday, but with Sam , murder isn't far away!
A slight detour off the highway, Sam takes Clancy for a walk, Clancy smells something and digs up a bone, a human bone.
They're in Crackertown, a very small town which happens to be holding their yearly chicken convention. The sheriff needs help in solving the mystery of who the bone belongs to and if it was murder which put the bone in the ground.
New friends are made, a wedding takes place, but will Sam and George make it to their destination?
A quick read but a good read.
