Review: Act Like You're Murdered: A Sammy Brook’s Cozy Mystery by Daisy Belle

Act Like You're Murdered: A Sammy Brook’s Cozy Mystery

by Daisy Belle

Genre: Cozy Mystery, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller

 

Blurb:

When a movie crew rolled into Bar Harbor with my high school bully as the star, I never imagined her to be found dead in her final scene. But now the Sheriff is pinning my bestie as lead suspect just for styling her hair.
The victim, still as heartless as in homeroom, leaves a full script of suspects.
Just off-camera the director, arguing again about how to treat the diva, was lining up her replacement, an obsessed stalker was lurking behind the scenes, and a security guard, manipulated one too many times, was a little too eager to hide evidence.
All had motives honed for a final cut.
While Cinnamon, my golden retriever, nose-tests perfume and props for clues, I chase the faces crowding this murderous frame.
As I sift through movie magic the killer keeps calling “Action.” I dig for any hidden secrets but the more I act like I am piecing clues together the further I get from this case being closed.
I have to solve this mystery before my best friend is listed in the credits as a murderer.

My Review:


Another gripping mystery in Daisy Belle's A Sammy Brook's Cozy Mystery series is Act Like You're Murdered. Act Like You're Murdered, like every previous book in the series, captivated me right away with its many twists and turns that kept me wondering who committed the crime from the beginning.

Secrets started to come to light as the plot developed, exposing latent relationships between the characters. The adventure was made even more exciting by Sammy's keen intuition and unwavering will to find the truth as she negotiated deceit and treachery in her pursuit of justice.

Emily, Sammy's closest friend, is under suspicion for the crime. She tells Sammy she did not do anything as the police carry her away. Since Sammy is her best friend and knows her well, it goes without saying that she believes her.

The investigation takes a new turn with every clue Sammy finds that leads to the identification of another suspect. With every new clue that emerged, I was unable to flip the pages quickly enough. I was curious about what had occurred, how it had occurred, and who was to blame. The suspense alone was enough to keep the pages turning.

The Cozy Mystery series by Sammy Brook has me eager to read more and find out what crimes Sammy will encounter next. Act Like You are Murdered is another thrilling Sammy Brook mystery, and I strongly suggest picking one up now!
