As autumn air settles into the quaint small town of Silver Hollow, there’s nothing more popular than Sasha’s teddy bears—and murder in cold blood . . .
Silver Bear Shop and Factory manager Sasha Silverman is cozying up to the fall season by hosting Silver Hollow’s Cranbeary Tea Party, the opening event of the village’s Oktobear Fest—a too-cute celebration themed around teddy bears. She barely has a moment to agonize over the return of her former high school rival, Holly Parker, whose new toy and bookstore in town could spell big trouble for the Silver Bear Shop and her cousin’s small bookstore . . .
But when Sasha discovers Holly’s shop assistant dead with a knife plunged in her body, the unpleasant woman suddenly looks like a real backstabber. So does Sasha’s ex-husband, rumored to have rekindled the fiery extramarital affair he once had with the victim. Now, before a gruesome homicide case takes the fun out of both the Fest and her personal life, Sasha must identify the true culprit from a daunting suspect list—or risk becoming as lifeless as one of her stuffed bears . . .

My Review

This series is just oozing charm. I love teddy bears so I was immediately attracted to this series. I loved the first book and this one is a great follow up.

The small town of Small Hollow, Michigan is once again rocked by a murder. This time Sasha Silverman, manager of the Silver Bear Shop and Factor, discovers her arch rival’s assistant dead. The victim also happens to be Sasha’s ex-husband’s former lover. Sasha and her sister are tops on the suspect list, but there are many others on that same list. The mayor of the town is even sitting prominently on that list. Sasha is determined to find the real killer.

This is another fast-paced mystery by Meg Macy complete with loveable characters. I didn’t see that ending coming at all. It was explosive to say the least. I will definitely be re-visiting the Silverman’s and Silver Hollow. These characters quickly become friends you want to know. I’ll be back! I’m looking forward to it.
