The Cannibal Caper (Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery Series) by Rosalind Barden – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Cannibal Caper: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery by Rosalind Barden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another fun historical cozy mystery with our young, orphaned heroine eleven-year-old Sparky. Once again, the storyline is set in Bunker Hill in downtown LA during the 1930’s. Sparky turns amateur sleuth once again as she tries to track down stolen precious jewels, whilst a gourmet cannibal is on the loose in the city. Meanwhile, her protector, the former silent movie star Tootsie is trying to get Sparky back to school. With friend Bobby not around Sparky gets friendly with a mysterious boy who works in a peculiar pet shop. Sparky must protect Tootsie and identify the cannibal before she becomes his next victim, oh and discover the whereabouts of the jewels. A fast paced read full of action with great characters and a likeable main character in Sparky. The descriptive narrative brings the setting vividly to life whilst the added historical details also bring the era to life. I look forward to being back in Bunker Hill with Sparky again soon!
