Editorial Reviews

Review

One of the most appealing amateur sleuths to come along in years. Hook her up with Jessica Fletcher and no murderer shall ever go unpunished. --DONALD BAIN, author of the MURDER SHE WROTE series

A wry and clever debut!
--Carolyn Hart, author of the DEATH on DEMAND series

Mary Kennedy's smart and sophisticated radio shrink uses her wit and wiles to catch a killer. Frasier would be jealous! --Nancy Matin, author of the Blackbrid Sisters Mysteries and Our Lady of Immaculate Deception

.The second book in her series is fast-paced, exciting and very funny! Romantic Times

For Mary, this series is the perfect write-what-you-know platform. It combines her experience in radio, training as a psychologist, sense of humor, and love of Florida.
--Dan Levy, journalist, entertainment reporter, The Big Thrill --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

About the Author

About the Author Mary Kennedy is a national best-selling author, and a clinical psychologist in private practice on the east coast. She has sold forty novels, all to major New York publishers, and has made the Waldenbooks, BookScan and Publishers Weekly best-seller lists. Her early novels included middle grade fiction and young adult fiction for Scholastic and Penguin.
Currently she's writing an adult mystery series, The Talk Radio Mysteries, which is set in a fictional town in south Florida. The first title, DEAD AIR, was released January 2010, the second, REEL MURDER, will appear June 2010. The Talk Radio Mysteries was pitched and sold as "Frasier Meets Murder She Wrote." The heroine is Maggie Walsh, a psychologist who closes up her Manhattan practice and heads to sunny Florida to take a job as a radio talk show host. And, yes, she solves a murder in every book! As a former radio copywriter and a practicing psychologist, Mary is uniquely qualified to provide realistic background for her books - although she hasn't personally solved any murders ;-). Mary's favorite vacation destination is South Florida and she makes an annual winter pilgrimage to Fort Lauderdale.
Mary won an award from the National Endowment for the Arts for "artistic excellence in literary fiction." A popular workshop presenter, she has spoken at over a hundred conferences, libraries and schools, all over the country. She also reviews for Book Page and has written articles for industry and chapter publications. When not writing, speaking, or traveling to exotic locales, she lives with her husband and eight neurotic cats. The cats have resisted all her efforts to psychoanalyze them, but she remains optimistic.
--Mary Kennedy's double life! --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

From the Back Cover

Maggie is really getting into the swing of her daily radio show. She loves her new life in Cypress Grove, Florida where she considers herself a female Dr. Phil--minus the money and the fame. Unfortunately, she's also minus the fans. So when a big movie production hits town, Maggie's producer thinks a few excluisive on-set interviews could mean a ratings boost.

But no sooner does Maggie slip her way into a job as a script consultant than the leading lady turns up dead from a prop gun that's been tampered with. With the help of sexy Detective Rafe Martino, Maggie discovers a bevy of behind-the-scenes secrets that could be motives for murder. Now she'd better find the killer before the credits roll--or it might be her own final performance.

From the Inside Flap

By the time Hank and I reached her, Maggie had grabbed Adriana's wrist and then placed two fingers on her throat. She kept her fingers there for a long time and then slowly looked up at us, her face pale in the harsh sunlight.
I noticed a dark red patch was spreading Adriana's chest to her collarbone--a concealed packet of fake blood, I decided. They call them squibs in the movie business. The actors presses her hand to her chest and the thin plastic packet explodes, leading blood everywhere. The blood looked frighteningly real as it trickled down her neck and then spilled onto the grayish sand around the pond.
"Hank--" Maisie said, as he knelt down next Adriana in the sand. I noticed her eyes were blurring with tears and her voice was trembling. "She's not unconscious, I think...I think she's dead."

From the Author

REEL MURDER
by Mary Kennedy
Genre: Mystery, Amateur Sleuth, Mystery/Suspense/Thriller

RT Rating-4 1/2 stars!
Kennedy is a clinical psychologist who specializes in forensics. This second book in her Talk Radio series is quick paced, exciting and very funny. In many cozies the mystery matters somewhat less than the characters and their personal interaction, and this one is no exception. Maggie Walsh is Florida's newest talk-show psychologist. Wanting to leave the stress of New York City and her successful practice behind, she has moved to Cypress Grove, a very small town, to host a radio show. When her forever hopeful, if not as successful, actress mother comes to visit with a small part in an independent film, she helps get Maggie a job as script consultant.
On the first day of filming, when the despised leading lady is shot dead with a prop gun, Maggie can't leave the mystery alone. The tantalizingly sexy detective working the case wants her to stay away, but Maggie can't resist. (OBSIDIAN, Jun., 320 pp., $6.99)

amusing amateur sleuth

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2010

Maggie gave up her well paying private practice as a clinical psychologist in Manhattan to host a radio show On The Couch With Maggie on WYME in Cypress Grove, Florida. Her show is below the bottom rung of the station; under the Swine Report. Most A list guests do not want to travel to the small hamlet, but a movie is coming to town thanks to director Hank Watson and Maggie's mother Lola Watson has a role.

The producer of Maggie's show thinks her ratings will jump if she gets the movie stars to come on the air with her. Maggie agrees to try to obtain interviews and learn what gossip is being tossed about. Hank asks Maggie to be a forensic consultant and she agrees as she can use the fee he offers her. Trouble occurs when someone shoots and kills the star Adriana St. James using a prop gun. Maggie investigates and learns that the actress was universally hated by all. Meanwhile someone does not like Maggie's sleuthing and sends her warning notes to back off or else. She is fortunate not to get killed when a prop light falls on the chair she just vacated and her mother is lured into an empty warehouse where she is almost is killed. Neither the sexy police detective or Maggie knows who the killer is, but the perp plans to keep it that way even if a second victim is needed.

The latest "Talk Radio" amateur sleuth (see Dead Air) is an amusing mystery with quirky characters and several suspects with powerful motives. Occurring on a movie set, intrepid but foolish Maggie investigates and does so in a believable manner befitting a forensic psychologist. Readers will enjoy reading Mary Kennedy's lighthearted whodunit as the heroine charms readers who will want her to conduct more future inquiries.

This is such a great cozy mystery to break up the monotony of the genre. It's not paranormal, it's not a bakery, and it's not a group of friends getting into "silly situations" together. It's an intelligent and independent woman with a good career who has close friends and family and happens to find herself in the center of tragedy again. It's light, funny, and smart. A good weekend read when you need a break from work or whatever else.

I like this series, but as a South Floridian, it annoys me that the author has set her book here but has apparently done no research at all on the area. She constantly flubs the locations of town and landmarks and includes silly things, like characters driving on A1A to get from Palm Beach County to Miami (a trip that would take hours doing that way).

The characters are cute and I've enjoyed both stories so far, but I feel like the author's been sloppy in her research, which takes away from my enjoyment.

A Very Enjoyable Book. No Foul Language

I really enjoyed this book. So many books nowadays have all kinds of foul language and sex in them. I hope Mary Kennedy will continue to write these good books.

I wanted to like this book better than I did

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2010

But it could have used sharper editing for one thing. Twice the author uses the same words to have Maggie think that the detective's hair is longer than the uniform officers but that he probably has more leeway. Also, I'm just getting tired of supposedly intellegent women who get all hot and bothered chemically over someone who has no respect for her intellegence or profession. If there's a third book, I'll give it a chance. Possibly.

Great Cozy Mystery

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2018

Maggie Walsh is visiting her mother, Lola, on the set of Death Watch, an indie movie about a forensic psychologist. When the director finds out that Maggie’s former job was as a forensic psychologist in Manhattan; he offers her a job as a consultant. This sounds like an interesting job so Maggie agrees to help. While filming one of the scenes on location something happens with one of the prop guns and the lead actress is killed. The more Maggie learns about the actress; the people more Maggie’s counts as suspects in the murder. Detective Rafe Martino is in charge of the investigation and once again advises Maggie to stay out of things and let him and the police force handle the investigation.

This is the 2nd book in the series, but can definitely be enjoyed as a stand-alone mystery. I enjoyed seeing a little of the forensic psychologist Maggie. Maggie is still doing her talk show but you get to see how she deduces who should be a suspect in the murder. There are several twists and turns and red herrings that Author Mary Kennedy includes in the story to keep you guessing whodunit. Kennedy includes a hint of a possible budding romance in the partnering of Detective Rafe and Maggie. I also loved seeing Maggie’s mom, Lola, in her ideal environment. Lola is such a fun character and seeing her element as an actress was great.

I recommend this book to cozy mystery lovers. I was provided with a copy of this book with the hopes I would review. All thoughts and opinions are my own and in no way influenced by anyone.

Cute and funny cozy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2018

Reel Murder by Mary Kennedy is the 2nd book in the Talk Radio series and was another intriguing cozy mystery. I really enjoy this series and each one gets better as I read.

I like Maggie and feel like I got to know her much better in this second book. I love Vera Mae. Her snarky attitude makes laugh each time she appears. Her mother, Lola, is quirky and definitely over the top when it comes to her career and her stories regarding Hollywood. I enjoyed the references to different movies and celebrities that pop up when Lola makes an appearance. I also found the background information of how movies are made to be fascinating.

I do confess that I wish Maggie would stand up more for herself with Rafe about her profession and forensic psychology. I get that he's handsome and drool-worthy but her former profession shouldn't be slighted by him. Ms. Kennedy would you please have Maggie take him down a peg or two?

The mystery was quickly paced and there were a few twists; but I did catch on to who the killer might be before Maggie. However, I wasn't clear on the "why" until the reveal. Since I am so late starting this series, I've already got book #3 lined up and ready to go.
