Dumpster Dying
By: Michelle Bennington

This is such a fun cozy mystery that I really enjoyed. It is such a fast paced book and it was easy for me to read it in one sitting. This is book 1 in the new Hazardous Hoarding Mystery series and I really cannot wait to read more. These characters were so much fun and I really truly loved the quirks that they had. Birdie was such a unique character who definitely collects things and surprisingly loves to dumpster dive. However, this story takes a turn when she discovers the body of someone she was fond of. While she begins the investigation she is accompanied by the spirit of her husband who has since passed on. This fit right in to the quirky story and honestly really made me love Birdie even more. I cannot wait for the next book because I loved Birdie so very much and I want to see what other adventures she and Walter get into.

Dumpster Dying (A Hazardous Hoarding Mystery Book 1)Dumpster Dying by Michelle Bennington
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Birdie Harper loves a good deal and sees herself as a collector. The problem is, she doesn’t know when to stop. Every weekend Birdie and her sister hit the yard sales but on top of that, Birdie has a habit of also dumpster diving.

Birdie lost her daughter when she was only a baby so she has a hole in her heart. There is a young girl who works at the convenience store that would be her daughter’s age if she had never passed. Birdie became borderline obsessed with this girl so when the girl goes missing, she will stop at nothing to find her. One day when dumpster diving, she finds the body of the young girl. She is determined to find out who killed this sweet young woman with the help of her dead husband who appears to Birdie often.

I decided to read this book because the title and the cover art was unique. The plot certainly is different from anything I have written but in a good way. The main character is an older woman which by itself is great but also she is a hoarder who has trouble letting go of items and people. Birdie is eccentric but sweet. The relationship between Birdie and her sister seemed very authentic. She may not agree with her sister but you can tell they love each other. It was a different type of cozy mystery than I have ever read but it was a refreshing difference.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Birdie Harper is a woman on a mission, she is on a mission to increase her collection of objects, so she goes to yard sales regularly with her finding treasures, or at least treasures to her, but her favourite thing is to go dumpster diving, she has her favourite stores and will go out in the middle of the night and find things she can use in projects, or to decorate her home. Unfortunately for Birdie, her sister Oda Dean doesn’t see her treasures the same way, she sees them as trash, rubbish which is becoming a possible health hazard and is always calling Birdie a hoarder, and this annoys Birdie to no end.

One night while she is diving, she finds something more than she bargained for, a dead body and it is someone Birdie was rather fond of, a young woman in the prime of her life. As Birdie relays all the information she can to the police, but also to her unfortunate husband, who just so happens to be a ghost, so he cannot offer any comfort, but can lend an ear and maybe even some help?

This discovery leads Birdie into an investigation of her own as she tries to find out what happened to her friend, she is also determined that Oda Dean and Walter are going to help her, but will she be able to find out who the culprit is before her dumpster diving days are over? This is a cozy mystery with ghostly aid which will keep you guessing as Birdie uncovers clues, information and danger while keeping up with her unusual hobbies.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 1 in The Hazardous Hoarding Mysteries series. I found this cozy mystery really unique and entertaining. It is the first book that I have read by this author and i am looking forward to reading more in this series.
The author does a great job with the characters. They are all fun and charming and a little eccentric in their own way which is what makes them unique.
In this story we first meet Birdie and her sister Oda Dean. Both of them love a good deal and love looking around for bargains. Birdie considers herself a collecter but to the outside world she would be considered a horder. One of the things Birdie loves is looking inside dumpsters however her favourite past time comes to a horrible end when she discovers the body of a young woman who she considered her friend.
Now she is on a mission along with her sister Oda and her dead husband (in spirit form) to find out who killed her friend and why. As Birdie starts investigating and trying to get to the bottom of things she places a target on her back.
Will she become the next body in a dumpster?

The characters of Birdie and Oda are so well written they literally jump off the page. Their relationship and the humour between them makes this story engaging and a fun read. Add to the mix Birdie’s departed husband and it is a great entertaining mix. There are some deeper issues such as lonelness and the loss of a loved one which are dealt within this story as well.

I’ll be honest- it was the hazardous hoarding that piqued my interest. I have clutter. Now I’m wondering if I should examine my motivation whenever I am tempted to keep something even slightly sentimental. Throw in a mystery, and a ghost- I’m hooked! The fact that the story is set in my home state of Kentucky is an added bonus.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dumpster Dying ended up being far different than what I expected. I chose to read it based on the cover art, and it exceeded my expectations. It follows 2 elderly ladies, Birdie and her sister Oda Dean through a series of excitement. Birdie is a hoarder and goes dumpster diving for treasures. The search for a missing girl they knew, uncovered a whole slew of things I didn’t expect. Birdie is a spunky old lady and reminds me of my grandmother. I am glad to see the book is the start of a series because there was a lot left unsaid. I want to know why Walter can’t move on, and the mystery surrounding his death. I also want to see if Birdie can change her ways and let go of her treasures.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Dumpster Dying” by Michelle Bennington is a quirky and fun mystery novel that follows the misadventures of Birdie Harper, a self-proclaimed treasure hunter and hoarder. The story takes an unexpected turn when Birdie stumbles upon the dead body of a young woman she had grown fond of.

The character of Birdie is well-developed and instantly likable. Her obsession with collecting forgotten items adds depth to her personality and adds an interesting layer to the plot. Additionally, the inclusion of her deceased husband, Walter, as a spirit who accompanies her on her investigation adds a unique and humorous twist.

The author does a commendable job of creating a suspenseful and compelling mystery. The pacing is appropriate, with enough twists and turns to keep readers engaged throughout. As Birdie dives deeper into her investigation, her determination to find the murderer is portrayed convincingly, and the suspense builds up effectively.

However, there are some aspects of the book that could use improvement. The resolution of the mystery feels a bit rushed, and certain plot points are not fully explored or developed. While it may have its flaws, the book is still worth picking up for fans of cozy mysteries and those looking for a light-hearted and fun read.

This book is pretty funny considering the deep underlying emotional issues that are addressed in this mystery. Loss, hoarding/collecting, and loneliness are the major themes.

A dead body is found by Birdie and it’s someone she knew and was close to. She decides she is going to solve this murder and her sister and dead husband will help her out.

This one is a great short read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With a title like this, how can I not want to read it?

After reading Prisoner of Night by J. R. Ward, I was in the mood for a different genre.

Birdie Harper has a problem. She likes to collect things. And she prefers to go dumpster diving to see what she can find. One may refer to her as a hoarder.

The way Birdie thinks of herself is a lot different from what others would call her and she is just fine with that.

One day while dumpster diving in the dumpster of her favorite hobby story, she uncovers a dead body! Unfortunately, she finds the body of a young woman that she knows.

Birdie resolves to catch the murderer of her friend and drags her sister and recently deceased husband Walter, to assist her.

The title and cover caught my attention. I just had to read it. The overall world and characters are refreshing to me.

Reading this just made me think of watching an episode of Hoarders mixed in with a murder mystery.

I don’t know if the author has any plans to make more in this series, but if they do, I am looking forward to reading them.

This book has everything you need on a small cozy mystery. It does give a lot of unnecessary details at the beginning but it’s easy to get past. Birdie is everything. Is her husband haunting her? Is her house a hoarded mess? Will she figure out what happened to Jenna? Will Oda Dean get off her back about it all? A great story to read for a little bit of it all.

4 Stars

 

Dumpster Dying is the first book in the Hazardous Hoarding Mystery series by Michelle Bennington. It is a fun, madcap, cozy mystery woven around some very interesting, quirky characters. With a whodunnit feel, crime and investigation, humour, drama, emotion, paranormal elements, and more- made this book a very entertaining read.
This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really wasn’t sure of what to expect from her work- but after reading this I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more of her books going forward.
Birdie, Walter, and Oda Dean really brought this story to life- and it certainly wouldn’t have been the same without their quirky personalities. Interwoven through the story are also some deeper subject matter- things such as mental health issues, hoarding, grief, loneliness, acceptance, loss of a loved one, and the afterlife.
There was a lot more to Birdie than first meets the eye, and that comes down to Ms. Bennington’s ability to cleverly craft complex characters. I felt for Birdie, laughed at the antics- while connecting and investing in her and the outcome of the story.
Even though the threads of the story were tied up and the ‘mystery’ solved- I was left feeling like everything ended too abruptly- leaving me a little ‘deflated’. But, I did enjoy the mystery, overall, and am intrigued by what Book #2 might hold.
Happy reading…

Thank you, Michelle Bennington

What a truly great start to a new series! It was the cover that first caught my attention. The story inside was just as attention grabbing. A quick read that I could not put down. I cannot wait for book 2!

Birdie is a unique collector of things. She reminds me of my own grandfather with his collection ways. It made the main character even more relatable for me while reading. A ghost for a husband keeping her company. A sister that is her yard saleing treasure hunting partner. Together they work on solving what happened to the body that Birdie found in the dumpster.

Dumpster Dying is a mystery that drew me in originally by it’s cover art. It did not take long before I was pulled into the storyline by the author’s style of writing and enjoyable main character. I really enjoyed the wit and quirky nature of Birdie and the dynamics of her relationships. This book was fun and easy to read with rich imagery, I could imagine being in Birdie’s collection filled home and her fear of losing what comes with it. There was a good balance of action and light hearted humor throughout the book and it made for a great weekend read. I look forward to hopefully reading more from this author in the near future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dumpster Dying is the first book in the Hazardous Hoarder Mystery series by Michelle Bennington and the first book I have read by this author. Michelle tackles some deep issues in this endearing tale such as the loss of a spouse, loneliness, and hoarding which she has done well.

This original and fun cozy mystery sees senior citizen Birdie as an amateur sleuth. This quirky character is a hoot and Michelle has written her so well. I often found myself laughing and sympathising at the mayhem going on with her.

With several murders, crimes to solve and finding a good treasure and her hoarder tendencies out of control and let’s not forget the ghost of her dead husband and her just as quirky older sister Oda Dean it’s a wonder Birdie has any time for anything. Birdie is all over the place, but she has a heart of gold and some issues, but she is a smart cookie and a clever sleuth.

The story has twists and turns on the trail to whodunnit along with tears and fears, sadness, heartache and loneliness. There are items to be found and treasured, secrets to be uncovered, and those who are not always as they seem.

I was a little disappointed with the ending. Even though the story revealed the perpetrators, and the murders were solved it felt as though there should have been more.

I really did enjoy the story though and I look forward to reading more of Birdie and Oda Dean.

If you like a good cozy mystery with quirky characters, then you will enjoy this one.

She is fiesty and funny – with a sense of determination. I can picture her and her sister out at garage sales every weekend – getting excited to find the next treasure. I love that her husband is a ghost and is sticking around to keep her company. This story is the tale of Birdie and her sister trying to solve the mystery of Jenna’s disappearance.

This has to be one of the best mystery I’ve read this year. Birdie, Oda Mae, and Walter the Ghost made this absolutely hilarious. I could picture them in my head which made this book turn into my own show. Birdie makes such a fun southern detective. I pictured her like a dog with a bone. Once she latched on to a mystery, she was on it until she solved it. So what if she’s a little bit of a hoarder? She has other things to take care of. The writing is fantastic. I was so engaged right from the start. You can’t help it. You feel like these ladies could be your elderly aunts causing a ruckus and inviting you along. A fantastic start to a series that I can’t wait to read more of.

Birdie Harper has a problem…she’s a bit of a collector. Well, collector might be an understatement. She’s a full-blown hoarder!

Birdie doesn’t see it that way though. She considers herself a finder of lost treasures, and the only thing Birdie loves more than a great deal at a yard sale is to head to the parking lot of her favorite hobby store and search through their dumpster for bright new shiny things.

One day, during one of her dives, Birdie makes a horrific discovery…the dead body of a young woman she had a soft spot for. Determined to find out who murdered her friend, Birdie drags along her recently deceased husband Walter (who obviously has problems of his own!), and her long-suffering sister, Oda Dean, as back-up.

But the murderer is paying attention, and if Birdie’s not careful, the next body dying in a dumpster will be her own!

Hungry Business is a short story of the dating scene in a zombie apocalypse where zombies and humans coexist. How hard can it be to find love?

Although short, it was such a fun read!
The different take on the zombie apocalypse was the highlight for me.
Definitely recommend for a little horror to get your heart pumping!

Definitely giving off prologue vibes, but not in a bad way. I’m not usually one for short reads, but this was done in such a witty and fun way, I truly enjoyed it. I mean, I certainly wouldn’t be disappointed if there were some longer sequels in the books, but I didn’t feel like there was a cliffhanger that I couldn’t recover from after finishing the final page. If anything, I was excited to find a new author to add to my list of favorites. I really got the sense that the whole book was one big parallel metaphor for dating in the real world today. The struggle is real! Maintaining appearances, avoiding predators, worrying about your safety, dodging creeps wanting more than what you had in mind… Don’t hesitate and just read this short story. You won’t be disappointed.
