I'm all for leaving my heart in San Francisco,
By Karina A. Suarez "Karina A. Fogliani-Ahmed" (Walt Disney World, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Martinis & Mayhem: A Murder, She Wrote Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
After the first three novels in the "Murder, she wrote" series of mysteries, I sort of prepared myself for another cozy but nonetheless fruitless work by contributor Donald Bain. However, "Martinis & mayhem" surprised me very pleasantly. Jessica is once again on the road, promoting her latest novel "Blood Relations", when a visit to the local women's prison puts her right in the spot to clear an innocently imprisoned young woman by the name of Kimberly Steffer. Jessica finds her diary in her purse at her return to the hotel and decides she will do what she does best: solve the mystery to clear the wrongfully accused and, at the same time, catch the correct culprit. In this adventure, Jessica in joined by her old friend from Scotland Yard, detective George Sutherland, who seems to be very interested in becoming more than a friend, although Jessica is not quite sure she wants to abandoned her widowhood just yet. The book is well written, and its simple prose is not out of place as it was in the previous novels. Jessica appears smart and quick witted, and George Sutherland is no less than the most typically charming British gentleman. San Francisco is described in a way only a connoisseur could do it: its beautiful sights, the Golden Gate bridge (where Jessica almost falls to her death!), the typical trolleys and the romance this picturesque city has to offer (even though Jessica describes it from the point of view of the upper class traveller), will delight every reader's senses. I will definitely reccommend this book for the "Red Eye" on your next trip to San Francisco, the better yet if you have never been there; and a delight for the repeated visitor as well.

Wow What a great read,
By "gandalf67" (BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Martinis & Mayhem: A Murder, She Wrote Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book as it like the program keeps you guessing right until the ending and it is sometimes funny sometimes dramatic and always exciting. I intend to get them all if I can!

Disappointing,
By Sue (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Martinis & Mayhem: A Murder, She Wrote Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
My husband stubbled upon Manhattans & Murder and gave it to me as a gift as I am a huge fan of the TV series and of Angela Landsbury. Manhattans & Murder is written in "Jessica's" voice. So I was looking for more books to read and decided to try Martinis and Mayhem based on the customer reviews. I was totally disppointed. Couldn't picture Jessica saying the lines in this book. Plus, it didn't progress the way the other book did - she all of a sudden seemed to solve the case at the end. Not a recommendation from this fan of Murder She Wrote.
