Death of a Wolfman (A Lily Gayle Lambert Mystery) by Susan Boles is a delightful murder mystery. Lily Gayle Lambert is inquisitive. Perhaps that is why she is so good at doing people's genealogy. Her meddling into others' affairs is a nuisance to her cousin, Ben Carter, the Sheriff of Mercy, Mississippi. On Halloween, Ben is called away from their dinner to investigate an anonymous 911 call. The caller reports there is a dead wolfman in the woods. Mercy is a small town where everybody knows everybody else's business. A furry man would not have gone unnoticed. Thinking it is a Halloween prank, Ben takes Lily Gayle with him. They are astounded to find a dead wolfman. To Ben's aggravation, Lily Gayle starts butting into his murder investigation and putting herself in danger. Despite Ben's warning to leave the investigating to him, Lily Gayle continues snooping around. Her meddling gets her into trouble and another murder is committed. After Ben puts her under house arrest, Lily Gayle teams up with Miss Edna and her best friend, Dixie. Will they find the murderer before he finds Lily Gayle?

Death of a Wolfman (A Lily Gayle Lambert Mystery) by Susan Boles was truly a fun book to read. From the first sentence, I was hooked and had trouble putting it down to make dinner. I love the irascible Lily Gayle and her inherent nosiness that frequently gets her into trouble. The characters were lifelike and loveable, especially the elderly Miss Edna, who could have been Lily Gayle's meddlesome twin. Death of a Wolfman is an entertaining and enjoyable read and I recommend it to those who love a good cozy mystery.
