Events Unlimited #4
Hot Dogs
In an attempt to eclipse a scandal over the previous year's Fourth of July festivities, the Merit County Board of Supervisors hires Annike McKinley and Events Unlimited to stage a bigger and better celebration. Words like that always bode trouble. Even so, Annike isn't expecting to be confronted with the year-dead body of one of last year's organizers. She isn't about to let a murder investigation interfere with the gala events she has planned, though. Aided by her old friends the SCOURGEs, she is soon immersed in a parade with improbable drill teams, a picnic, a talent show, a barbecue, a fireworks exhibit, a troupe of performing poodles and dachshunds which run amok-and more deaths. Amid all this chaos, Sheriff Owen Sarkisian struggles to catch the murderer before the killing spree continues. And, since Sarkisian is dragging his feet on the way to the altar, Annike plots a crime of her own-kidnapping with intent to commit matrimony.

About the author
Janice Bennett
64 books10 followers Janice Bennett never intended to be a writer, but with B.A. degrees in anthropology and classical civilizations and an M.A. in folklore and mythology, what choice did she have? Her first jobs included the usual abc's—archaeologist, bookkeeper and college craft instructor. Then, on a whim, she submitted her first novel, a Regency, and life took on a fascinating new twist.
Several books later, she began presenting work-shops, teaching novel writing at a community college, serving as a writing panel member at WorldCons...then became an editor. So far, she has written twenty-six novels and more than twenty novellas and received a number of awards, including two Lifetime Achievement awards from Romantic Times/Rave Reviews.
In her spare time, she spins wool (and pet hair), knits, crochets, weaves, and quilts. She lives in a rural town with her husband, never enough cats, a huge dog, an organic garden—and a computer she swears runs on chocolate chips, not silicon ones, which explains a lot about her.

My favorite part of this series is the characters; they are delightful whether they are two-footed for four-footed and the warmth of the community. The mystery in Hot Dogs is good, fast paced and reasonably complicated. This series keeps drawing me back.

I was kind of disappointed in the last two books of this series. I really liked the first (Cold Turkey), and the 2nd (Bunny Hop) was my favorite, but I thought the first half of the 3rd one (Black Cats and Boondoggles) dragged and I really didn't get interested until midway. Then with this one, I felt kind of bored until about the 2/3 mark. I like the characters, the premise, and the mystery, but the writing didn't feel as tight in the last two books, kind of like someone was rushing her to a publishing deadline.
