The Case of the Mystified M.D.

Romance, mystery, intrigue ... and a sassy chick who just happens to be a Grandmother. I love A.K. Arenz and her talent for offering her readers top notch mysteries and down-to-earth settings. This book features Glory Harper once again as the energy-driven grandmother. Her penchant for finding trouble is second only to her desire to follow God in all his plans for she and her family -- a family who just might be growing if handsome Detective Rick Spencer has anything to say about it. When Glory and her sister, Jane, discover the severed hand of Professor Zeke Wallace while on a walk, Detective Spencer is called in and the sparks begin flying between he and Glory. The tension is well-paced and the writing is superb. Don't let the cover fool you. This is a first-rate read from beginning to end. The relationships in the book are not only timely but touching and real. I loved it and can't wait for book three in the Bouncing Grandma Mystery Series - Mirrored image. A.K. Arenz is definitely a person of interest!

The enjoyable sequel to The Case of the Bouncing Grandma is entitled The Case of the Mystified M.D. Glory Harper's pup finds the severed body part this time. The same detective, Rick Spencer, investigates, and tries to get Glory to leave the police work up to him. There are many secrets in this story, and several of the town's characters were being blackmailed. Follow the crooked trail left by the blackmailer with Glory and her friends. See if you can solve the mystery before they do. A fun read.

A nasty professor at the college where she works. A man always causing trouble. Burned down houses, attempted arson, stifling or trying to intimidate people to vote for ordinances against freedom of religion, womanizing, just what all had the victim been involved in. It was truly looking like his character was worse than everyone thought. Glory and the victim's half-sister keep their eyes and ears open. Unraveling this mess is a big job. While snooping around she discovers things that could implicate some of her friends and even her own family members. Follow along as Glory tries to stay on the right side of the law, while she snoops even further. Watch as romance blossoms between Glory and Blue Eyes, the detective on the case.

I loved the first book in this series, but somehow, the author made this one even better! It has more mystery/suspense and was so much fun to read. It is funny and entertaining from the first word to the last and was a fast read. I can't wait for the next one!!!

The first book in this series, The Case of the Bouncing Grandma, was good - this one is better! I also like the preview at the end for this author's next book - terrific - looking forward to it.
