Reviews

[Marta Moran Bishop · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are few authors that have the knack to write a murder mystery that leaves one guessing until the final page but can add in sarcastic and witty humor like Ms. Vaughan does.

‘Dead to Writes: A Laura & Gerry Mystery’ book 7 is no exception. Ms. Vaughan carries the plot along without giving away the murderer, and yet her Laura (our corpse magnet) carries off the solving of the case with her own brand of sarcastic wit. I love these books and am always happy to find another.

Highly recommended.

Death by the Book

Such is “Dead to Writes,” author Karen Vaughan’s No. 7 in the Laura & Gerry Mystery series. A case of life imitating art via death by hemlock, this mystery held my interest as I harbored my own suspicions, speculations, and second-guessing as to the murderer’s identity.

A separate murder mystery, a quirky Wiccan resident in Laura and Gerry’s building, and the minutiae of daily living outside crime solving, grounds this fast-paced crime fiction worth reading.

Laura Fritz is back along with the characters I have come to love from this author's other books in the series. This time, Laura meets a couple of authors.Natalie, Silvie and Terri were close friends and struggling to be authors. When tow of the women die mysteriously, Laura gets involved and the adventure to solve a mystery begins. Karen Vaughan writes no-frills stories with amazing and believable characters. Grabbing a book by this author is like sitting down with an old friend and having a chat. Here novels are twisted mysteries with a cozy appeal and not to be missed.
