In this fifth installment of Meg Macy's warm, fuzzy, super cuddly, and shamelessly adorable, Teddy Bear Mystery Series, amateur sleuth and manager of the Silver Bear Shop and Factory, Sasha Silverman, must step fast before a killer can ruin Silver Hollow, Michigan's Scottish-themed Highland Fling weekend!

Teddy bear shop manager Sasha Silverman must step fast to find a murderer before an upcoming Scottish festival...

It's springtime in Silver Hollow, Michigan, and Sasha is looking forward to the village's inaugural Highland Fling weekend. Plans are underway for a Kilted 5K, athletic competitions, dancing, live music, and even a Hurl-the-Haggis contest. Meanwhile, Sasha's staff is busy crafting custom teddy bears in kilts for the Silver Bear Shop's vendor booth. But trouble's brewing behind the scenes, as the obnoxious Teddy Hartman, former owner of a rival teddy bear company, sows seeds of discord about town, targeting Sasha's family and their business.
Things go from plaid to worse when--just a week before the festival kicks-off--the disgruntled gossip is found murdered with an ax buried in his back. Sasha's dad is arrested, since he's a champion ax-thrower. But she doesn't give a dram what it looks like--Sasha knows that despite the old business rivalry with Hartman, her father is innocent. So with a spot of help from her friends, Sasha must bag the real killer before her first Fling also becomes her last.

Bear a Wee Grudge by Meg Macy is a bear of a mystery with some changes for our sleuth and her family.

Will Sasha find Teddy Hartman’s killer before her dad is railroaded?

Sasha Silverman

Our sleuth, Sasha Silverman, is looking for the person that killed Teddy Hartman, partly out of curiosity and to keep her dad out of jail. Sasha learns a few things about her dad that she didn’t know before, but she is still confident that he would not kill anyone, even Teddy Hartman. Sasha isn’t herself in this installment; she is distracted and has difficulty with certain foods. Although she isn’t at her best, she still determines who took out Teddy Hartman.

I like Sasha. She has a heart of gold and wants to help everyone. Sasha has to confront some events from her past and allow her family to help her heal. She also stands up to her ex-husband for the first time. That was one of my favorite parts. You go, Sasha.

The Mystery

Basically, Alex (Sasha’s dad) and his friend Gil find Teddy Hartman’s body. This all happens shortly after a couple of altercations between Hartman and the members of the Silverman family. Throw in an incompetent detective, and Sasha is out to figure it out on her own again. Not many people in town like Teddy, so there are potentially a few suspects.

Bear a Wee Grudge CRHonestly, though, why would Teddy move to a town where the only people that he knows don’t care for him? He is quite the jerk, and it seems that he may have gotten what he had coming. Karma, my friend, is not always friendly.

The town’s events in this book are so cool. I think I will look up some highland events near our home to check it out. I love the teddy bears with kilts.

Four Stars

I enjoyed the story and mystery. It was nice seeing Sasha’s character grow. Her relationship with Jay is adorable, and I love the way that he proposes to her. My rating for Bear a Wee Grudge by Meg Macy is four stars. If you love teddy bears and mysteries, you will like this book.
