Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The second in the BARGAIN HUNTER MYSTERIES, Death of a Six-Foot Teddy Bear is a welcome addition to Sharon Dunn's books.
Ginger and the other members of the BHN (Bargain Hunter's Network) are headed to Calamity, NV for what's been dubbed the world's largest garage sale. Ginger's husband Earl is coming along to participate in an inventor's convention to get his dream off the ground.
Within minutes of finally arriving at the hotel, Ginger finds their plans unraveling all around her. Then her husband has become someone she doesn't recognize, and they both become embroiled in a murder investigation. Chaos reigns supreme with lots of humor and heart inserted.
The book is filled with quirks from the hotel that has a retro children's toys theme to the characters themselves. Ginger and her cohorts are as lively as ever and surrounded by a full cast of characters. While the characters are filled with quirks, they also have a lot of heart and challenges. Ginger doesn't want to believe the worst of her husband, but why would he lie to the police? Earl doesn't understand why Ginger isn't supporting him as he chases his dream. Kindra is surprised to find herself in a possible relationship and wonder if she can cast aside her list of requirements before falling into a relationship. Suzanne missed her children even though she couldn't wait to get away from them. And Arleta is trying to live even as she fears she's growing too old.
I could find something to relate with each of these characters about. I also enjoyed the plot -- even though it moves at the pace of a cozy mystery -- mainly because the characters made me care about what would happen to them.
Bottom-line: this is an enjoyable mystery even with it's cozy-mystery pacing.
