Why read it?

2 authors picked Dying for a Date as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Again, humor is a biggie for me in the murder mysteries I read, and this book checks that off.

I love the family interaction that is in this book. I especially love how strong a person the main character is.

Once again, I was kept guessing until the end as to who committed the murder, so I was fully engrossed in the book.

Dying for a Date is another great example of making murder fun!

Cindy has created a cast of unforgettable and entertaining characters. She successfully combines humor, sexual tension, and an intriguing plot. Laurel McKay is not your usual heroine. She's older, has no sense of style and she's not skinny!

She’s a divorced mother with two kids, and she hasn't had a date for years. She joins a dating service, and the first date is a bust. When the guy decides Laurel is dessert, she breaks his nose with her cell phone. And guess who turns up dead the next…

From Sally's list on reads that make murder fun.
