This review is from: Murder With Reservations: A Dead-End Job Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
This Dead-End Job Mystery was the best one I have read so far. It had everything: suspense, intrigue, mystery, revenge, and romance.
Helen works as a hotel maid. I gained a lot of insight into this thankless occupation. After a couple of weeks on the job, Helen discovers a dead body in the hotel dumpster. To add to this stress, her ex-husband, Rob, has tracked her down. The support of her ladlady and boyfriend help make everything all right. You will enjoy this book!

Better Than Ever, No Reservations...,

This review is from: Murder With Reservations: A Dead-End Job Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
This series just keeps getting better. Murder with Reservation's has Viets' trademark humor, with a just slightly harder edge than in past series books.
Helen's peril is more immediate in this book since her ex, Rob, is actually tracking her down. He checks into the very hotel where Helen is employed as a maid. Helen has to worry about her ex, the police, and the murderer. One of the best things about this book is that Helen's character seems more developed and we see how caring she can be, particularly in the scene where she finds Rhonda and in the one where she thanks the officer involved in the shooting. There's some foreshadowing in this book that I suspect will be resolved in the next book. I'm really looking forward to the next one.

I have been reading all of these from Elaine Viets. I really am enjoying this Dead-End Job series. Here character is not the perfect woman and makes her more realistic than most.
Her Mystery Shopper series is quite good too. |
