Description

This is a highly enjoyable book for dog-loving cozy fanciers, with charming characters, a fair play plot, and a hands-on heroine Publishers Weekly on Blood Red, White and Blue

Santa Louisa’s Halloween celebrations are derailed when a masked killer dressed as a clown strikes in the entertaining new Mary McGill dog mystery.

Mary McGill and her cocker spaniel Millie get the fright of their lives on Halloween when they hear gunshots coming from the bank and the robber, dressed in a clown costume, points his gun at them before fleeing the scene. Mary is horrified when she discovers Police Chief Dan Dunham has been shot in the shoulder and a woman has been killed. Why would the clown shoot an ordinary citizen?

Mary soon learns that the victim is Victoria Witherspoon, a local woman who owned a sewing shop and must have recognised the clown costume – because she made it herself. With Dan in hospital and unable to investigate, can Mary and Millie unmask the savage killer clown before he strikes again?

Mary McGill and Millie are one of the best sleuthing teams around! When a murderous clown turns Halloween deadly, Mary has to solve the case quickly or be the next victim!

I loved the book! I had never read the series before so I wondered if I would be able to "catch up" with the characters. It wasn't a problem at all - the book could be read as a standalone. Mary was charming and I enjoyed her "can do" attitude that was tempered with common sense. The supporting characters were well written and were interesting. The mystery was fast-paced and I loved the backstory's of the characters, it made the book even more fun to read. I felt like I was right there, with Mary and Millie, solving the mystery, with the wonderful descriptions of the setting and the conversations among the characters. Oh, and Millie the dog played a very important role in the mystery and she was adorable!

The book was so good that I plan on reading the rest of the series and have already purchased book #3! If you enjoy reading mysteries with mature sleuths, easy to relate to characters, animals and books with a heart - then this series is for you!

I received an ARC from NetGalley for a fair and honest review of this book.

It was time for Halloween in the Park. There was a haunted house, apple bobbing and a corn maze. There was also something happening in the bank. Mary McGill, amature town sleuth heard gunshots fired and saw someone dressed as a clown with a gun exit the building. The clown saw Mary and her dog Millie, stopped and stared at them. Mary was sure she was going to be shot. The clown turned and ran off. Inside Mary found the town seamstress dead and her niece's husband, Police Chief Dan Dunham down with a gunshot wound to his shoulder. Following surgery Dan was going to recover but Mary knew she had to do some investigating to help find the murderous clown since Dan was not going to be able to lead the investigation. How much trouble will Mary get into this time as she looks for clues to help solve the crime?

Dressed To Kill by Kathleen Delaney is part of the author's Mary McGill Crime Mystery series. Ms. Delaney's plot is full of intriguing clues and possible suspects. She has her main character thoughtfully and thoroughly use each clue to help solve the crime. I enjoyed reading about Mary McGill's methods and thought process as she searches for the killer clown's identify. All the characters were very likeable, even the pets. I always enjoy when pets are included in the storyline and in this case Mary's dog Millie turns out to be very important to the story.
