The Death of Perry Many Paws

by Deborah Benjamin

Tamsen Mack, a successful children’s author, discovers her husband’s reclusive uncle in his study with a letter opener in his neck. Scattered around the room are a set of clues he left behind: a seventy year old photo, one page from his autobiography and over seventy yellowed newspapers from 1938 each dated April 1. An eerie quote from Edgar Alan Poe and a friend’s bloody shirt push Tamsen’s writer’s curiosity into over-drive.

Aided by her friends and armed with sugar and caffeine, Tamsen plunges into the murder investigation. When she discovers a long forgotten crime her curiosity leads her to a connection between two chilling murders and the ties they have to her own circle of friends. When everyone has something to hide and someone to protect Tamsen wonders who among her friends she can really trust.

Witty and hard to put down.

I loved her use of words with several meanings and laughed out loud several times. The mystery was told well and I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the solution. I look forward to Ms Benjamin's next book.

A true page turner!

Great writing and character development. I was not only invested in solving the murder but very invested in the people telling the story. It was a mystery until the very end!

Laugh out loud book

I enjoyed all the characters the way they interact with each other and how they were involved in the mystery who killed uncle Franklin. I did actually laugh out loud in parts

Loved this book. It was a lot of fun, with characters I could relate to. Can't wait for the next book about these small town characters and their WOACA (women of a certain age) group.
