Packed with mystery and suspense and brimming with heart and humor,
Bacon, Bodyguards, and Ballistics is an absolutely gripping and laugh-out-loud culinary whodunit in the Deep Fried Revenge series.
She’s an undercover detective hiding in a seaside town with a lot to prove…and everything to lose.
Reeling with excitement over the opening of a private investigation agency and her budding romance with the sheriff, Piper Sandstone can’t wait to launch her dream career and return to a somewhat normal life. But danger lurks on the horizon—the dirty cops back in Chicago still want her dead. Even if it means putting the people she loves in jeopardy to find her. They are ruthless and on the hunt; no price is too steep for her head.
But Piper’s already in a predicament of prodigious proportions when an art heist at the Bancroft Estates leaves a bodyguard dead… and she and her crime-fighting gal pals are at the center of the crime scene.
Tangled in another mystery in Savory, Alabama, Piper is determined to solve the case with the help of her quirky amateur sleuth friends dubbed the Dentures and Diamonds Crime Squad. These zany retirees traded in their female rock band glory to fight crime, but can they help Piper maintain her cover and catch the killer before she or another Savory resident winds up dead?

OMG what an awesome and epic last book in the series! I devoured every page and absolutely loved the whole outcome. I can't say a whole lot without giving stuff away, but I'll definitely say that Gemma girl can kick some serious butt when she wants to! She's earned her nickname for sure, and I hope if there's ever another series with these characters that Gemma might just decide the Savory, AL life is for her too! I actually read most of the book again it was that good!

Delta Queen Margie and Her Mary Poppins Magical Bag of Contents!
This is the final chapter, Book 5 of "Bacon, Bodyguards, and Ballistics", written by Karen McSpade. I really enjoyed this entire series. Before I tell you the main highlights of the fifth book, I'd like to mention my favorite sections. First of all, there are four Delta Queens who each remind me of one of the four Golden Girls, but I will only mention Margie, the one who is most likely Rose in the Golden Girls, but who is even more like Mary Poppins with her magical bag/purse and it's contents. It was like watching an episode of Let's Make A Deal. Whenever Piper, Doris, Patty Sue, Rosemary, or Gemma needed something, like handcuffs, a pen with a light in it, a scarf to tie somebody up with, or practically anything else, Margie would come through with the much needed item. Secondly, we find out why bodyguard, five foot tall Gemma, was known in Italy as "The Terror of Tuscany" with her Xena Warrior Princess yell and kicking skills that land not only Piper on her hind end, earning Piper's and all four Delta Queens' respect, but also taking out four big Chicago thugs who had the audacity to try to hurt Piper. This episode has a lady mayor threatening to fire Jake as Sheriff, which mayors can do, and remove the Queen Bees Private Investigations licenses, if they don't solve the cases of the multi-million dollar art heist and the murderer of the twin bodyguards by the time a fancy Gala was planned in Savory; however, everything is solved and taken care of 'during' the fancy masquerade ball gala at the same mansion where the art heist took place. This book had some unsuspected outcomes, such as who stole the artwork and why, who stabbed Marco, who shot Max, the connection between the twins and the couple (Ben and Karina) who followed Piper, Gemma, and the Delta Queens around wherever they went, and some other things I won't mention. This episode has one really beautiful painting that is given to Piper and the ladies. This episode has one really sweet, romantic, toe-curling scene near the end of the book, and a family reunion at the end. I gave this book 5 big fat stars and I recommend it to anyone who loves books that are serious, funny, and sensitive all at the same time.

Chicago cop Piper Sandstone has been hiding out in small town Savory, Alabama since she cornered dirty cops in the Windy City. Until the case comes to trial, she's been living as Sharon, a woman who's opened a private investigation firm with her friends The Delta Queens, a retired rock group that's drawn to solving crimes. But unfortunately, a glimpse of Piper has hit the news because the ladies, now private detectives known as The Queen's Bees Detective Agency, are investigating a high-end robbery and two deaths.
The hit men are on their trail. Her good cop friends from Chicago are following the hit men and trying to get to Piper first. And Piper and her friends are trying to solve the heist and the murder. How can her bodyguard Gemma keep Piper safe if Piper won't let her?...
This is the conclusion to the five-part story, and it's a blast, watching the seniors at work while they try and stay by Piper's side. Piper, meanwhile, is trying to do her job and not worry about anything else; but then again, she doesn't know hit men are on their way.
Still, I have to say that this is probably the best part of the book. Everything comes together neatly, and we get a climax that's intense and funny at the same time. The book ties up all the ends together weaving the story to a satisfying conclusion, and Piper and her friends definitely have their hands full and something else to look forward to...but I won't spoil it. Highly recommended.
I was give a copy from the author but this in no way influenced my review.

This series comes to a satisfying conclusion with the admission of the killer of the two security guards and the persons behind the theft of the paintings. Gemma is there to save Piper’s “bacon” when she is surrounded by the four thugs from Chicago along with help from the Delta Queens! Questions are finally answered about the mysterious couple who have been following the girls around while they try and put the puzzle pieces together on this case.
I enjoyed this series and highly recommend it for you to get and enjoy. I also recommend you get the previous series by Karen so you can see how Piper meets these ladies while she is trying to hide out from the dirty cops who want her dead! Each book in these series has recipes from that book so you’ll have a lot of southern recipes to try out y’all while you enjoy reading about them and their sleuthing abilities! Gemma has been a fun addition to the gang
and now Piper has finally admitted she is grateful Gemma was there to save her life!
Thee books are quick reads as each can be read in just over an hour. So if you are snowed in or rained in you can read the entire series in a day.
Give the books a try and discover some ladies you’ll be happy to read more about! Who knows maybe there will be a third series in the works so we all can revisit Savory and see what the ladies are up to this time as well as enjoying new southern recipes to try out!

Fantastic, what a great finale for the Piper and Queen Bees crew. I read it twice as I received an Advance Reader Copy.
Some snippets only from me: great to see Sharon and Gemma resolve a few differences in the gym; Henry Hughes calls a press conference and try’s to put a spanner in the works; Mayor Townsend applies more pressure and Ben and Karina continue to behave suspiciously.
Attraction continues between Piper and Jake, as Sharon relates: ‘’The sight of his muscular shoulders made it a little hard to concentrate as I followed him up the stairs…’’.
A breakthrough at Max and Marc’s apartment helps the twists in the plot.
The planned Gala Masquerade Ball is a very exciting development, as ‘’ Margie said…’’ I have a feeling all of our suspects will be there…’’. Read Book 5 to find out and follow the action, drama, excitement, fun, good southern food and possibly romance.

Time to close the case and punish the bad guys, or at least that is the plan. Whether our heroine and her team can pull it off is another matter entirely.
This is book five of this series and the conclusion. It would be best to read them in order.
This is a novella length cozy mystery with a bit of a food/cooking theme. And I don't mean cooking up murder. The story is well written and easy to read with a nicely detailed setting that has the right level of quirky elements to it for this kind of story. The characters are also well done. I have really grown to love our heroine and her gang and enjoyed this conclusion of our story. Overall, the series has been a lot of fun and I look forward to seeing what our author comes up with next.
Highly recommended.

Karen McSpade concludes the “Bacon, Bodyguards, and Ballistics” series with Book 5. This book is a perfect ending to the series! I have been cheering for the Queen Bee’s Private Eye’s throughout the series. I had not figured out who the art thief was until the Queen Bee’s broke the case. We also found out what Ben and Karina were hiding, what happened with Jake and Piper’s relationship, and whether Piper is safe from the Chicago thugs sent to kill her. I have throughly enjoyed this storyline with such charmingly unique main characters of varying ages. This series has a little of everything with mystery, romance, and humor. The recipes in this culinary cozy series have been wonderful! I totally recommend all five books in this series.

I enjoyed this cozy mystery story with all of the characters. The main character was Piper Sandstone.
Piper Sandstone and her senior gal pals continue to investigate the disappearance of the painting that were stolen. Piper and the gals are still look into the mystery. They are getting closer to solving the mystery of the missing painting. When Piper and the gals find out who they are a little surprised.
This was an fun and short story. It had action, adventures, and suspense within. It had a few giggles throughout. It is the 5 book in the series Bacon, Bodyguards, and Ballistics. There is only 5 books in this series.
I received a complimentary copy via Booksprout. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

The ladies and Jake follow their main suspects to finally solve the case. Given an ultimatum by the mayor the pressure is on to get this case solved.
Not to be forgotten the hit team is also rolling into town as well as Piper's Chicago friends.
There is a huge ball and that's where everything comes together, A well down fast paced conclusion to the thefts, murders and Piper's Chicago problem.
Still not a fan of the serial aspect of this story but the story itself is good with just enough twists and turns.

I truly enjoyed this final edition to the Savory series. I figured out only one of the guilty parties! Everything else was a great twist! Karen McSpade keeps the suspense building while she weaves the two different elements into one surprise ending.
Have we seen the last of Piper Sandstone aka Sharon Stone? I don’t know…but I hope not!
If you like cozy culinary cozies, you’ll love the recipes that are in each addition!.

Piper & the ladies are at a standstill about whodunit on their latest investigation. Henry calls a press conference to discuss the theft of his art collection & throws the town into a frenzy. Meanwhile, Piper is unaware that there are some visitors in Savory who want to have a chat with her. The Gala ball is going strong & the different groups have their orders on what to do at the Gala. In the end everything ends up far better than anyone could expect.
I hope this isn't the last book in the Piper Sandstone Series!!!!

Book 5 of this series was amazing! I of course absolutely love Piper and her amazing crew. I was completely shocked by who the killer was. Which definitely had me on my toes till the end. Then being able to see what ended up happening with the bad guys from Chicago. If those two things weren't good enough the ending was fire!! Definitely an amazing ending. (NO spoilers so don't worry) definitely worth reading all 5 parts to get to the end. My only hope now that this series is done that we get to read more about Piper and the Delta Queens.

Piper aka Sharon, and the Queen Bees are still trying to solve the art heist case. When they think they have some suspects, it turns out to be not true. The mayor is breathing down their necks to solve this case...PRONTO! Even though Piper doesn't know it, but there are hired guns on their way to 'rub her out'. Will they solve the case? Will this be the end of Piper? I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

The Queen Bee detective agency with Piper Sandstone as lead investigator is deep into an art heist case. At first clues seem sparse. Antagonism towards Sharon/Piper & her stubborn ways reaches a head. Key players are weeded out or killed and a series of twists in the plot add to fun and cleverness of the characters. Good read!

Wow talk about ending things with a big bang! Everything comes to a head at the masquerade gala, the assassins arrive, the Chicago friends and Uncle arrive, questions are answered, thief is found but turns out the theft happened years ago, and the recent theft was to right some wrongs. Sharon/Piper, Gemma and the Delta Queens wrap things up with Jake's help in a really big way. Lot of surprises at the very end in a really good way. Great read.

What a great finish to this series. It kept me turning pages to see what was going to happen next. Would the guilty parties be caught and brought to justice? Would Piper get nabbed by the mobsters from Chicago? Would there be more romance?

This was one of the best series I have ever read! Everything was put together very well at the end. There were still some great twists and parts that made me laugh. Finally, finding out the truth about the paintings and the reasoning of why they were so important. You won’t want to stop reading until you finish the book.

Mystery was solved by these quirky characters also known as the Dentures and Diamonds squad.
Romance is in the book with Pipers recent engagement to the Sheriff!
You can’t leave us hanging in the wings with curiosity!?
Thank you Karen for these fun, easy and quick reads.

Complex connections, misdeeds and misdirections combined with determination produce some intense reading action.
Chosen family works together.
Humorous, surprising, funny, tragic and poignant.

Great ending to the series. I was surprised at 'who-done-it'; the person came across as a bit unhinged by the end of the book. Well paced and plotted, I enjoyed the story. The teamwork is exceptional and the honesty of the relationships is refreshing.
