Death for Sale - A Review, Excerpt, and Giveaway

 Review


DEATH FOR SALE by Erik S. Meyers
The Third Sally Witherspoon Mystery 

Thanksgiving is Sally Witherspoon's favorite holiday and she's excited to spend the day with the majority of  Berry Springs, Arkansas at the Grand Hotel. With Joanna catering the dinner the buffet is jammed packed with delicious food - roast turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, the works! Sally and her crew, along with some temporary bartenders, are serving the drinks while also enjoying the scrumptious spread. After the satisfying event Sally is woken in the early morning hours by a phone call from Sergeant Soder. Several party goers seem to have gotten food poisoning and some have even been hospitalized. Was there something wrong with the food? Could the fruit in some of her cocktails have been tainted? When one person dies and the police consider the death suspicious Sally once again gets out her pen and notebook determined to help solve another murder. 

Who would be cruel enough to kill, not only taking a life, but taking the joy of the holiday season from the whole community? With motive murky at best Sally has her work cut out for her in the third Sally Witherspoon Mystery. One of the things I like best is that the mystery isn't solved in a matter of days. Generally speaking, murder investigations take time and time is given here. The book starts just before Thanksgiving and goes through Christmas and New Year's Eve and Day, sadly with more deaths as time goes by. I enjoyed reading about the festivities and appreciated how everyone tried to celebrate even as the number of deaths increased.

DEATH FOR SALE is the best Sally Witherspoon Mystery yet. The mystery was perplexing, the characters developed, and the emotions real. The story flowed naturally and kept me interested and engaged.

With a puzzling crime and a holiday season turned horrible DEATH FOR SALE is a compelling mystery you won't want to miss.

Synopsis:

Death For Sale by Erik S. Meyers

A Sally Witherspoon Mystery

 

It's holiday time in Berry Springs, where many come together to enjoy good food, drink, and the company of friends. Unfortunately, death is among the mix as people get mysteriously ill at the town's Thanksgiving dinner. Deaths follow, and Sally must race to discover the truth before more people die off.

Coupled with worry for her aging parents, she is overwhelmed with the pressure and emotions, but she'll push through to solve the crimes and restore peace to the town.

Praise for Death For Sale:

"It’s always a delight to accompany amateur sleuth Sally Witherspoon as she takes time from her bar-owner job to bring murderers to justice. You’ve got to love a spunky middle-aged single woman who runs a biker bar and does a side hustle helping the local law enforcement solve serious crimes. The holiday setting of this third book in the series brings a touch of charm and festivity to the sadness the small town of Berry Springs experiences as some of their older citizens succumb to what appears to be intentional poisoning. Leave it to Sally to get answers in this difficult-to-solve murder case.
If you’re looking for a fun, holiday-themed cozy mystery, Death for Sale fits the bill perfectly. You’ll love spending time with lovable Sally Witherspoon as she restores peace and calm to her beloved town of Berry Springs. "
~ Ivanka Fear, author of the Blue Water Mysteries and Jake and Mallory Thrillers
