SHOPPING IS MURDER - Carolyn Arnold

4 Stars!

ABOUT THE BOOK -

They find more than a bargain…

Black Friday should be all about shopping and discounts, but when Sean and Sara only have a few more items left to buy, screams fill the mall—and for good reason. A man has fallen to his death from the second level.

But what exactly happened isn’t that straightforward, and normally, Sean and Sara would leave this matter to the police, but the widow was a childhood friend of Sara’s. While the police are leaning toward the belief the man intentionally took the leap, the widow is adamant her husband would never jump and asks Sara for her help.

Despite the fact there is an unresolved past between the friends—in which Sara feels she let her down—Sara can’t turn her back on her now. Fueled by guilt and the need to find answers, Sara convinces Sean they should look into the man’s death.

But the answers aren’t all coming quickly. Mall security has dropped the ball and there’s no seeming motive for murder. To find out the truth will take unconventional means, a little undercover work, and the help of their friend Jimmy. And if it all comes together, they just might have this case wrapped up in time for the holidays. Maybe even with a pretty little bow.

MY THOUGHTS -
I read two of these books back to back while I was on vacation (I will be putting the other one up tomorrow) and both of them were great! Honestly they were even better than I expected.

I started with Shopping is Murder and very quickly and easily got right into it. I loved the two main characters - Sean and Sara they were great! I loved their fun quirkiness. And this was a great little mystery as well.

OK I did not know this at the time, but these books were actually inspired from the old TV series Hart to Hart. "This show inspired me to write the McKinley Mysteries—with twists thrown in, of course." The whole time I was reading this I kept thinking it reminded me of Hart to Hart! I loved that show, I used to watch it all the time. This seriously makes me want to Netflix it!

A fun great little mystery coming in at only 159 pages it is a quick read, perfect for vacation.
