Murder at the Spelling Bee ~ Maya and Sandra #4 (by Lee Hollis)

I have enjoyed all of the books in the Maya and Sandra series. The characters are well developed and the mystery is set up perfectly. Maya and Sandra are two strong females who have very different personalities and characteristics. I love watching them in operation ... dealing with their private investigation cases, handling their spouses/soon-to-be-ex-spouses, their children ... life as it explodes in their faces. You will be invested in the story and how they work together to solve the mystery. This one especially appealed to me because I love spelling words! My parents used to say words for me to spell while we were traveling in the car on trips. Helped prevent car sickness and I loved getting the words right. By listening to the audiobook version, every time a word was given for one of the young people to spell, I spelled it first in my head. While you could read this as a standalone, I would encourage you to go back and read the first book in the series so that you get a good view of where these ladies have come from and how they have developed into sleuthing cohorts. Can’t wait for the next adventure with the characters in Portland, Maine.
