-Meg Macy Books-
A SHAMELESSLY ADORABLE COZY MYSTERY SERIES
What Reviewers Are Saying
"When the summer heat gets too oppressive, grab the second book in Macy’s delightful Teddy Bear Mystery series — you’ll be transported to small-town Michigan in the fall! The clever use of the teddy bear theme all over town adds to the cozy atmosphere of the book, even if it does get almost too kitschy at times. Of course, that’s part of the charm of this particular genre so it’s certainly not unbearable. The mystery is very well plotted and nicely paced, revealing new layers at just the right moment to keep readers guessing. The victim and the prime suspect are both intensely dislikable characters, but Sasha and her circle of friends and family are easy to embrace and invest in for the long haul. A dash of romance rounds out the story — just enough to please the romantic reader without overpowering the mystery." – RT Reviews

I may be biased because I have a huge love for all things teddy bear but this is just the cutest cozy mystery series . . . The characters are all well developed pulling you into the story until you feel like you have known them forever. – Books a Plenty Book Reviews

based in my state." – Sapphyria's Reviews
"I don’t know what I enjoy more about this series – reading about the teddy bear themed events, or the mystery itself. Sasha Silverman is such a down to earth, believable character that she makes both of them fun." – The Book's The Thing
"I love when I can't figure out the mystery, because it shows how creative the author is. Don't miss this wonderful 2nd in a series cozy mystery series."
– Texas Book-aholic
"...another fast-paced mystery by Meg Macy complete with loveable characters. I didn’t see that ending coming at all. It was explosive to say the least. I will definitely be re-visiting the Silverman’s and Silver Hollow."
– Socrates' Book Reviews
"Who does not love a good mystery and a cuddly teddy bear? ...I enjoy the author's writing style as her words just flow off the page. " – A Holland Reads
"Just the right mix of intrigue and cozy. I thought this was even better than the first book. I love the main character, the townspeople, and the longtime family-owned teddy bear/teddy accessories shop as the background. A genuinely likeable setting and I hope to return to it over and over as the series continues. It's even fun to hate the unlikable people! I think it's got an edge to it that actually keeps it from being shamelessly adorable, but I love that tagline. Octobearfest never sounded so good! I really recommend this to people who enjoy a good mystery, cozy or otherwise!"
