Review: Death of a Bear Is “a Delicious Combination” of Mayhem and Murder

“In Death of a Bear, mayhem and murder in a beach tourist town make for a delicious combination. Wedding planner Sydney Riley is the perfect heroine—sassy, independent, and friend to all the locals. In this novel, Sydney is reluctantly plunged into a murder investigation in the middle if Provincetown’s famed Bear Week when she discovers a body floating in the pool. As investigators uncover the hidden life of her friend Barry, Sydney’s grief is tempered with irritation over the ever-present ICE investigator Ali Hakim. Like beach sand stuck in all the wrong places, Ali’s investigation keeps Sydney both blindsided and intrigued as she does a bit of her own sleuthing. deBeauvoir‘s Sydney is a lovable combination of independence, strong political opinion, biting sarcasm, loyal friendship and just enough naïveté to keep things interesting. Pick up a copy of a Provincetown mystery today and head to your nearest body of water—if you dare.”
