4.0 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Barb Radmore,
This review is from: Kiss of Death (A Daytime Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
Linda Palmer has written the fourth book in her a Daytime Mystery series. She has done an excellent job of adding to a series without making the reader feel left out if they have not read the first ones. But this one will make new fans want to run out for the other three.The main character, Morgan, is the co-producer and writer for a day time soap opera. This setting contributes a bit of fun, insider feeling to the story. The setting does not control the plot, it just gives it a unique sense to the story and enables the author to create characters who have strong personalities. The tv setting does not make this mystery a fluffy, powder puff piece but an entertaining and solid entry into the field of cozies. It does add a bit of light hearted atmoshpere to this seriously well constructed work In Kiss of Death the plot consists of two story lines. In one, Morgan's best friend is accused of killing her lover's ex-wife. She is found standing over the body of the woman she hates which makes her seem pretty suspicious to the police. In the other Morgan is trying to solve the mystery of her own past, a past of which no one knows about. She hires a PI to find clues to her past, and the police should be handling the murder but she is drawn personally into both investigations, one to clear her best friend and one to find out what really happened to her in her childhood. The plots do not intertwine but Palmer is able to handle both with grace, not lessening the impact of either story line. Each is written so thoroughly that it is like getting two books in one. Palmer's background in both screen writing and photography have give her the ability to create a broad, brisk moving narrative without omitting the small details that make the scenarios whole and solid. This is a great book for either a blanket on the beach or fireside in a ski lodge. It can hold its own during any season, a notable entry among the numerous character driven mysteries of today's literary marketplace.

Kiss of Death,
This review is from: Kiss of Death (A Daytime Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am an avid reader of mysteries. To my delight I discovered Linda Palmer about 3 years ago and have bought her books every year since. Her new one, "Kiss of Death" is just as much fun as her first three if not more so. I love her plot twists and her characters. I also enjoy the main character's self-deprecating sense of humour. Since I am also a fan of soaps, these books allow me into a world where I previously just been an outside observer.

This review is from: Kiss of Death (A Daytime Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
Don't miss this well written series by Linda Palmer. Fun mysteries set in the world of Daytime television. A rare glimpse into that normally hidden world, written by a woman who actually wrote for Daytime television.
