Read along in this fun cozy mystery series as amateur sleuth and antique store owner, Lucy Mathews, her Alaskan malamute, Kiska and a cast of quirky characters discover romance and murder in the mountains of Montana. Loose Screw Lucy Mathews, crime reporter turned antiques dealer, avoids confrontation like a home perm. She even lets a cat shove her around. When Lucy trips over the body of a buckskin-clad relics trader, her ex-boss asks her to cover the story. She tries to tell him no, but old habits die hard and soon she finds herself directly in the path of a killer and the exasperating, if attractive, detective in charge. Can Lucy catch a killer or is this the last confrontation for her—period? Cut Loose No one’s perfect. At least that’s what Lucy Mathews tells herself. Except faced with her boyfriend’s rodeo queen ex-wife and perfectly trained Australian shepherd, she has to wonder if maybe this whole ‘no one’s perfect’ thing was made up by someone like...Lucy. Lucky for Lucy though, things are hopping around Helena. It’s rodeo season, and she has a booth. It’s a great opportunity to expand her clientele and maybe even snag a cash prize for Kiska as the world’s first sheep herding malamute. Except Kiska can’t herd, Lucy loses her wallet, and oh yeah...there’s that dead rodeo queen Lucy just stumbled over. Good thing her boyfriend’s a detective. Except that’s not going so well either. A new detective is in town, and he’s convinced Lucy’s involved in the rodeo queen’s murder. Her boyfriend is no help at all and worse he’s spending a little too much time with his ex-wife. Lucy finds herself out of money, out of love, and maybe this time, out of luck. Loosey Goosey You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family. You can though move two thousand miles away and hope they don’t come to visit. Unfortunately, for Lucy Mathews that only works for so long. Lucy has a perfect week planned. The kind of week that includes a romantic dinner with her cowboy detective boyfriend, big dollar sales to the visiting Beef Ranchers Association and their wives, and maybe a relaxing holiday weekend at home with her Alaskan malamute, Kiska. What she doesn’t have planned is a visit from her animal activist brother, his pet goose, Pauline, and his neon yellow van. Lucy’s plans quickly go to the birds. First, her date is interrupted by brother and goose. Second she discovers a dead body, under her brother’s van. Then, when her brother gets arrested for the murder, the worst thing imaginable happens, Lucy’s mother finds out. Not only is Lucy is left in charge of babysitting the recalcitrant goose, but her mother is threatening to come to Montana herself to solve the murder. Lucy has no choice but to dive into the investigation, and find the real murderer before her brother is put away for good.


Review :
Who knew Montana could be so fun?

I bought this set for one reason: Kiska. And like all Malamutes, he doesn't disappoint! The author paints Kiska as a true representative of the breed, resisting the temptation to turn a fictional Malamute into a crime-solving, sheep-herding, do-it-all super-dog. Instead, Kiska is an irresistible lovable oaf, displaying the same penchant for (usually) mild mischief that makes all Malamute aficionados feel that they really are super-dogs, no matter what anybody else might think.

Aside from Kiska, the books are all-around delightful. Lucy Mathews is an interesting, likeable heroine whose clever narrative draws you into both the mundane and the bizarre of her every-day life. The supporting characters, just like in real life, vary in how likeable they are, but are all well developed and believable. I'm looking forward to more Dusty Deals mysteries!

Helena, Montana sounds like a fun place.

Lucy, an antiques store owner and part time reporter, seems to stumble over a lot of dead bodies, literally. Lucy avoids conflict and confrontation like the plaque which is not a great trait for a so-called reporter confronting intimidating cops. Kiska, her Malamute, oft mistaken for a Husky, is a Bon companion. With auctions, rodeos, rodeo queens, sheep herding and vegan protestors running amuck things get interesting fast. Lots of fun situations for Lucy, Kiska and Pauline, the goose. A funny mystery series with laughs, twists and romance.

Fun to read and hard to put down

I'm about halfway through book 3 now, and I love this girl! It's just a fun book to read. I have to add that I like the fact that there's very little profanity and I haven't seen a sex scene yet. If this was a movie, it'd be family friendly. Good job Rae Davies for still writing good, clean, fun, entertaining books!!! Montana, cowboys, and dogs are a plus too.
