My Review Rating – 5 Stars

I love Clarissa and Paw. Love every single book of theirs so far. This is the 3rd book of their series. The story is a really short one. This time is the first time an actual murder has happened in Clarissa and Paw’s life. It is a very cold winter and Mrs. Carstairs feel there is someone in her shed. She calls up Clarissa and Paws to check and they find a dead body in the shed. Unknown dead body creates panic and Clarissa and Paw are at it again.

The story is really beautiful for such a short one. It is a true talent to write a murder mystery in just 10  pages. The language is simple and not hardcore like in regular murder mystery. Clarissa and Paw has got all the thrill, suspense and mystery in a simple, non threatening way. The book is good for young adults too, although I wouldn’t want kids to be exposed to violence in even the mildest form.

Sandra has created magic once again with Clarissa and Paw. Paw is as adorable as in all the previous books, if not more. I have fallen more and more in love with both of them. Simply wonderful.
