Summary of Frobisher's Savage, by Leonard Tourney

Dive into the whimsical mystery of 'Frobisher's Savage,' filled with laughter and unexpected twists that will keep you guessing until the end!

Welcome to the wild and whimsical world of Frobisher's Savage, where nothing says "mystery" quite like a good old-fashioned whodunit wrapped in a shroud of questionable character choices and red herrings. In this installment of the Joan and Matthew Stock Mystery series, get ready for a delightful romp through suspicious twists, questionable motives, and plenty of eyebrow-raising moments that will keep you on your toes-or at least on the edge of your couch.

So, who's at the center of this juicy tale? Enter Joan and Matthew Stock-a couple so adept at uncovering crime they might as well have business cards reading, "Professional Nosey People." When a murder is discovered in a picturesque, yet rather suspicious, setting, our beloved duo can't help but dive headfirst into the chaos, armed with nothing but their wits and a questionable sense of timing.

Now, let's talk about the setting-it's not just the backdrop of a crime; it's practically a character itself. The atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a knife (or a well-placed alibi). As the couple meanders through this tangled web of deception, they encounter a delightful cast of characters that make Friends look like a documentary on social etiquette. Each person they meet seems to harbor a secret, a grudge, or just plain bad taste in sweaters. Seriously, you might want to take notes on who's who, because it's going to get wildly complicated.

Amid the drama, Joan tackles her personal struggles, giving readers a glimpse into her psyche. Spoiler alert: it's messy, much like her approach to solving mysteries. And while she's at it, she might just be raising a few eyebrows with her antics that blur the lines between amateur sleuth and downright chaos. But fear not! Matthew is right there to navigate the ups and downs while managing to keep the snacks stocked-because, let's be real, every good investigation deserves a side of cookies.

Oh, and just when you think things can't get any more ridiculous, the plot thickens with unexpected turns that could make even M. Night Shyamalan do a double take. Twists? Check. Turns? Double check. That feeling of "What the heck just happened?"-oh, you betcha!

As the climax approaches, the stakes get even higher. Who is the real villain behind this tangled mess? Is it the charming local shopkeeper with a penchant for collecting strange artifacts? Or perhaps the noble crusader trying to expose the shady underbelly of the community? Or even better, could it be that it was all a big misunderstanding based on a misplaced banana? Spoiler warning: you'll need to read it to find out, because this recap isn't giving you the juicy details-where's the fun in that?

In conclusion, Frobisher's Savage is a delightful mix of laughter, intrigue, and the kind of plot twists that could easily land it at the top of a "Best of" list for cozy mysteries. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the series or just a curious bystander looking for some good old-fashioned sleuthing, this book manages to charm its way into your heart. Just remember to keep your notebook handy-you'll want to jot down all the secrets and shenanigans that unfold!
