This mystery was light hearted and yet very interesting as well. The characters are believable. I always appreciate a mystery that keeps my attention to the very end!

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one in the series. Still it was worth reading. I like books about "grandma" detectives!

Romance, mystery, intrigue ... and a sassy chick who just happens to be a Grandmother. I love A.K. Arenz and her talent for offering her readers top notch mysteries and down-to-earth settings. This book features Glory Harper once again as the energy-driven grandmother. Her penchant for finding trouble is second only to her desire to follow God in all his plans for she and her family -- a family who just might be growing if handsome Detective Rick Spencer has anything to say about it. When Glory and her sister, Jane, discover the severed hand of Professor Zeke Wallace while on a walk, Detective Spencer is called in and the sparks begin flying between he and Glory. The tension is well-paced and the writing is superb. Don't let the cover fool you. This is a first-rate read from beginning to end. The relationships in the book are not only timely but touching and real. I loved it and can't wait for book three in the Bouncing Grandma Mystery Series - Mirrored image. A.K. Arenz is definitely a person of interest!

This is the second book in the Bouncing Grandma series. The enjoyable sequel is entitled The Case of the Mystified M.D. Glory Harper's pup finds the severed body part this time. Glory and one of the detectives on the case are becoming more interested in each other. There are many secrets in this story, and several of the town's characters were being blackmailed. Follow the crooked trail left by the blackmailer with Glory and her friends. See if you can solve the mystery before they do.

A fun, quick read! Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed The Case of the Bouncing Grandma, but this one is even better! Glory Harper is a great character. Am looking forward to the next in the series.

Glory Harper is a widowed grandmother with plenty of spunk, and keen sense of humor who is fast earning a reputation for attracting danger. Murder, mayhem, blackmail, arson, and more than a little attraction between Glory and Detective Rick Spencer make for an entertaining light mystery. Every character rings true-to-life and makes the layers of mystery all the more intriguing. I would never have imagined that a story ranging from murder to restoration and forgiveness could also make me laugh out loud. A fun read that keeps you guessing and wanting to go back for more of A.K. Arenz and the bouncing grandma. I have to add that I'm glad it was recommended to me, as the cover would not have attracted me to select it.

A walk in the park with a playful puppy that unearths a severed hand would send most people screaming away in horror. Not Glory Harper. The gutsy grandma is back and ready to rise to the challenge of another adventure.Professor Zeke Wallace is missing, and Glory finds herself right in the middle of the search for a solution to the mystery. It doesnt take long for her to discover that the God-bashing professor had more than his share of adoring female companions along with a host of other secrets.When Glory loses her job, she gains an unlikely ally in her effort to piece together the puzzle surrounding the professors death. As she digs deeper into the clues that reveal the life of the unscrupulous professor, she puts her own life and that of her loved ones in danger. Always close by and keeping an eye out for the middle-aged sleuths safety is love interest Rick Spencer, her beautiful blue-eyed detective friend, who doesnt always appreciate her involvement in the case.The author shows us her characters with such realistic interaction that the reader can identify with then as people they encounter in their own communities. She captures the warmth of small town Tarryton as viewed through Glorys eyes, yet bravely explores its imperfections as Glory delves into the motives behind those responsible for blackmail, arson, and murder.Ms Arenz has again succeeded in bringing us a delightful tale of mystery and suspense mixed with a dash of humor and a generous helping of family loyalty.

I really enjoyed this book as well as the first one. I think if we had more Grandmas like Mrs. Harper, we would have a better world to live in even if she does seem a little "nosy."

Oh dear Bouncing Grandma, Glory Harper is at it again. Right in the middle of a mess! How in the world she gets into these kind of messes, is beyond her wildest imagination, but there she is. While walking with her sister and her new puppy, the puppy makes a grisly discovery. A human hand. The authorities are called, Glory knows immediately who the hand belongs to. A nasty professor at the college where she works. A man always causing trouble. Burned down houses, attempted arson, stifling or trying to intimidate people to vote for ordinances against freedom of religion, womanizing, just what all had the victim been involved in. It was truly looking like his character was worse than everyone thought. Glory and the victim's half-sister keep their eyes and ears open. Unraveling this mess is a big job.While snooping around she discovers things that could implicate some of her friends and even her own family members. Follow along as Glory tries to stay on the right side of the law, while she snoops even further. Watch as romance blossoms between Glory and Blue Eyes, the detective on the case. A really good book, that kept my interest from front to finish. Most definitely a book to share with others. 368 pages $12.99 US 4 stars.A.K. Arenz, mother of two grown daughters and grandmother to three grands, has been writing since she was a child. A member of the ACFW, she often serves as a judge in Book of the Year and Genesis contests. Residing in Missouri with her husband, she is owned by her two Himalayan cats. Most definitely an author to add to your favorite list.

Anyone who enjoys a whodunit where almost everyone in town could be a likely suspect will love The Case of the Mystified M.D. Give super-sleuth Glory Harper a hand . . . and sure enough, theres a body close by. Glorys dog drops the hand at her feet. It has the missing professor ring on it so she calls ole blue-eyes, the law in the Missouri town of Tarryton. As usual, Glory collects facts around town as fast as she seems to collect trouble. She gets fired. Her sister gets accused of threatening the professor with a gun. And she uncovers multiple suspects whom the professor had been blackmailing.Get ready for an exciting trip with the bouncing grandma through small town mid America, where nothing is as it seems.
