Perfect for fans of Ellery Adams and Eva Gates, this action-filled, entertaining cozy featuring dark family secrets, revenge and friendship goals will have you gripped from the start to its shocking conclusion.

How well do you really know your friends?

Journaling blogger Mandy Meadows is determined to clear her friend’s name when she discovers a body by a dumpster.

Single mom, barista and journaling video blogger extraordinaire Mandy Meadows is distracted from her shift in the University of Seattle Hospital coffee bar when her friend – nurse and fellow journaling video blogger Reese O’Leary-Sett – receives a massage from hell at the hands of Coral Le Charme, the hospital’s new massage therapist. But concern over Coral’s dubious skills is the least of Mandy's worries when she discovers Coral’s lifeless body by a dumpster later that evening.

What dark secrets was Coral hiding? Mandy’s tenant, homicide detective Justin Ahola, is on the case – and he has Reese firmly in his sights. Determined to help her friend, Mandy digs deeper into Coral’s life and makes some alarming discoveries. Can she clear Reese’s name and bring a killer to justice?

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed that she took a look at darker elements in human nature
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2021
While Tattooed to Death by Heather Redmond is a cozy mystery, it actually touches on some very tough topics, and I applaud Redmond for incorporating them into the second book in the Journaling Mysteries.

It was wonderful to catch up with Mandy, her daughter, Vellum, and Mandy’s two friends, Reese and Linda. Redmond’s writing really shines when it comes to relationships. She’s created a group of woman that are caring and uplifting to each other. And how can you not love a neighbor that constantly brings over brownies?!? But the relationships are not all happy go lucky all the time, and Redmond can also write conflict in a very believable way too.

The heavier topics that are examined deal with ex-husbands who are horrible narcissists, teenage relationships, unwanted advances from men, stalking, and more. While these are heavy topics, Redmond is able to weave them into the story in a way that makes perfect sense and gives the reader something to think about, but doesn’t weigh the story down so you’re bawling your eyes out.

The killer does kind of come out of nowhere, but I am fine with that. Life is unpredictable and fiction can be as well. I like that the romantic angle shows that Mandy really is thinking about what’s best for her and Vellum, but I just hope that the uncertainty doesn’t linger for many more books. While I think romance can enhance cozies, I’m not a huge fan of the will they/won’t they (or love triangles), but that is just a personal quirk.
Tattooed to Death is another great addition to the Journaling Mysteries, and I am looking forward to book three.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still confusing, but too intriguing to stop
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book had the same aspects as the first one.
The characters were a great part. Good descriptions and attitudes that were quite different from others, so you could tell them apart.
I definitely liked the setting, it is unique and vivid. Well done here.
The plot this time was very interesting and fun to read. Talk about red herrings and clues galore!
The pace was better this time, but sadly, IMHO, the ‘cut to here’ scene entrances seemed a little abrupt. I’ve only read the books on Kindle, so it could be a software problem that is not in the actual books?
It seems like Mandy is what most of us would consider a true amateur sleuth. Some might consider her a dumb one, because of all the mistakes she makes, not thinking things through, suspicions all around, things like that. However, if I think about it, if I was in her situation, would I be any different? I think not. To me, many amateur sleuth stories are a little forced, the sleuth knows a little too much, etc. I like Mandy, because she seems like a normal person, not a professional “amateur sleuth”.
Good job.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite but enjoyed the mother-daughter relationship portrayed
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2021
A good man is hard to find in this book, but there are plenty of stalkers, creepers, abusers, and jerks. When I first started reading this book by Heather Redmond, I thought it was going to be something like Diane Mott Davidson's Goldy Schultz series with basically a cozy mystery touching on some serious subjects, such as Goldy's abusive ex-husband. However, in "Tattooed to Death", there is nothing cozy to be found. I would be moving to a new town if I were the main character, Mandy Meadows, since she seems to be surrounded by despicable people. There is just too much going on in this short novel so any impact that the topics of staking and abuse might have are lost. Mandy's tenant, Justin, seems to be the exception, but Mandy hesitates to date him in case something goes sour with their relationship since he would still be sharing her home.

The highlight of the book to me is Mandy's relationship with her teenaged daughter Vellum. The mother and daughter work together on their journaling blog and seem to really enjoy spending time together. I really like their scenes together and Vellum is actually my favorite character in the book. There is a diverse group of characters in the book, but I couldn't connect with most of them. I didn't read the prior book in the series, so maybe that would have helped me to get to know the other main characters better. For the murder mystery portion of the book, Mandy's friend is the prime suspect in a murder prompting Mandy to conduct her own investigation. Mandy uncovers other suspects, many of whom are logical, and she does a good job of uncovering important clues. However, the ultimate solution seems to come out of nowhere with no clues foreshadowing the terrible thing that motivates the killer.

The thing that first caught my attention in the description of the book is Mandy's journaling. The book includes a lot of interesting information about the blogging Mandy does about her journaling but not a lot of details about the journaling itself. I was intrigued, but couldn't visualize what she was doing with stickers, drawings, and writing journal entries. I like the premise of the book and like Mandy and Vellum, but ultimately there is just too much negativity and too many unlikable characters for me to fully enjoy the story.

I received this ebook from NetGalley through the courtesy of Severn House. An advance copy was provided to me at no cost, but my review is voluntary and unbiased.

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021
I loved the first book in this series and I loved this one.
It's a great story that mixes cozy mystery tropes with some serious issues and I loved how the author made it work and always kept the tone light.
The mystery is solid, full of twists and turns, and it kept me guessing.
Can't wait to read the next installment.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed It
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2021
Diverse cast of characters were enjoyable. Mandy Meadows is a interesting and likable MC. All the characters seem to be well developed. I did not know who the murderer was until the end. Overall a good Cozy Mystery with fun characters. I really don’t understand the title of the book and how that is related to the story.
