A Melanie Travis Canine Mystery Killer Cupid, (Hardcover)

Killer Cupid is the twenty-ninth A Melanie Travis Mystery. It is a novella which can be read in one sitting. I enjoyed reading Killer Cupid. I was eager to see what mischief Melanie got into this time. We get to spend time with Melanie's brother, Frank and his wife. They go on the trip with Melanie and Sam along with Melanie's beloved Standard poodle, Fern. Fern's age is mentioned a few times. I hope the author is not preparing us for her departure. I enjoyed the descriptions of the White Birch Inn and its surroundings. It seemed like the perfect place to spend a romantic weekend. The mystery was intriguing. The events coordinator for the White Birch Inn is found dead by the ice-skating pond. It appears that she died from exposure. I had to wonder how a woman who is used to the frigid winter weather is not aware of the dangers of being outside too long. What was Belinda Rush doing outside late at night? Melanie is naturally curious about the case. When the owner of the inn asks her to investigate, Melanie does not hesitate to say yes. Melanie questions the staff and guests about the victim. I like that Bertie joined Melanie on her sleuthing ventures. Melanie is a bad influence. Faith tagged along on some of the ventures. The sweet poodle is a good judge of character. I enjoyed the suspenseful reveal. Aunt Peg, Davey, and Kevin provide humor especially the rambunctious Kevin. I like that we get to spend more time with Sam in this tale. Killer Cupid is an entertaining cozy mystery, and I am eager for the next A Melanie Travis Mystery. Killer Cupid is a merry mystery with a Valentine vacay, a faithful Faith, a deceased employee, sticky smores, spiked cider, and mistrustful Melanie.
