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

The Cannibal Caper (Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery Series) by Rosalind Barden is a great cozy mystery

Orphaned 11-year-old amateur girl sleuth Sparky returns in another noirish adventure, set in the sketchy milieu of 1930s Bunker Hill in downtown Los Angeles. The clock is ticking as Sparky tries to track down stolen precious jewels while, at the same time, a gourmet cannibal is on the loose in the city, seeking new prey. As the suspect count escalates, Sparky’s protector, the former silent movie star Tootsie, is oblivious to the danger. She’s too busy getting Sparky back to school. No! Meanwhile, with her stalwart pal Bobby out of town, Sparky finds herself sometimes annoyed, and fascinated by the mysterious boy who works in a most peculiar pet shop.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.
