Etta FaireRezensionen

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Carly has inherited her philandering ex-husbands old Victorian house, complete with dog and housekeeper. Carly is perplexed. It should have gone to his new wife. or another relative of his. No sooner has she been in the house alone, does her dead ex pay her a ghostly visit.
This is the first foray into the Ghosts of Landover series. It looks to be an intriguing series of cozy mysteries with quirky characters and, what I can only assume is an over arcing mystery of Carla’s biological parents and how it pertains to the house she inherited. I think there is a lot more to that aside from a resemblance to a doll and a former dancer.

There are a few noticeable grammatical and spelling errors and it could benefit from a good edit.
The characters are slightly wooden. They are interesting, but no one really stood out except the annoying ex-husband’s ghost.

This was initially slow in starting but I kept reading because I wanted to find out who killed Carly’s ex-husband and who was murdering the strippers. And boy, did the revelation take me by surprise. I suspected a member of Carly’s former in-laws, not who it turned out to be.
It was nice how Carly and her best friend set on the road to reconciliation after the dust settled from the murders.
Her ex-husband is still haunting her so either he doesn’t want to leave, or his killer hasn’t been found yet.
I would recommend this to people who like quirky small towns, mysteries and a dash of paranormal elements.

I liked the book. Etta Faire makes her story believable, you just do not understand other people do not see the ghost of Carlies ex-husband too.
At some parts in the story ('all the lights went out') I just did have to stop reading, I like that scary feeling.
The thoughts of Carly about her ex-husband, still attraction but hurt too, are quite confusing. I could understand that part too.
The end was a tiny bit disappointing, but well, it had to be like that, seeing there will be a sequel.

Over My Dead Husband's Body is a quick fun read. The characters captured my attention and look forward to reading more in the series.

Once you read a book, catharsis is what connects you to it. I got this book in return of an honest review and just having finished reading it, my opinion of it can not be any more honest.
The characters of this book are indulging albeit very 1 dimentional. We only see Carly being humaine and having all sorts of feelings; doubts to fears. The rest of the characters such as most of the Bowmans have just the aspect of villainy. Justin is just an ex with lingering interest. The old prof is a dead annoying piece of air and we only get a glipse of Tina, literally.
The wriring was sub par at best. Althought I must say I kept reading, this is mostly due to the plot of the story. If the wring, number of punctuation mistakes and sentence structure was changed then I think this book could really be a credit to the literature world.
I liked how the story unfolded. May gave been predicrable fur some but I like not to try to solve things myself and live with the characters. Hence at the end I found it to have quite a twist and actually found myself liking the book despite all its flaws.
I would like to thank the authir for writing it and I look forward to reading the next one.

So much fun! I loved every minute I spent with Carly solving her exhusband’s murder. The book left me wanting to learn more about the Bowman family secrets, the town, and the characters. So glad this is book one of a series!

Bad Behavior Reaps Death
The second book in A Sketch Matchmaker Mystery has Marcie assisting her aunt with a rich obnoxious condescending client. Marcie is a middle-aged mother with little money and an ex-husband who has yet to pay child support. Her pitiful situation is illustrated through decision made and men dated. Like the bumbling Inspector Cousteau or Lieutenant, it is not surprise that Marcie is able to stumble through situations and evidence to unmask the killer at the end. The plot is easy to follow and character actions fit right into the cozy mystery genre. Having read the first book in the series, Must Love Murder, it is fun to watch a beginning writer develop their storytelling and writing skills.

I received this book free from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

I was given a copy for an honest review. Marcie is divorced with children and has essentially given up on her life when her aunt offers her a job as a matchmaker. Shortly thereafter a murder happens and she decides to investigate and solve the murder. However, what ensues is a hilarious attempt of 'detective work', gathering clues, potential suspects and all the while she finally gets a make-over. The murderer is revealed and the ending is great. I really enjoyed this book.

Aunt Mabel hires Marcie to work at the San Diego Matchmaker’s Club so she can support her three children, Laverne, Lilla, and Celia. One key tool of the trade is an Ouija board. Maybe it will it leave them to the killer of the pesky next-door neighbor before Aunt Mabel is arrested. Marcie must overcome the lack of child support, embezzlement, second wives, and lonely hearts. The plot is easy to follow.

Marcie's adventure into the world of matchmaking/crime-solving is not to be missed.

No erotica. No horror. Lots of fun.
Forty something with kids and recently divorced, Marcie has issues. Her odd aunt has a new business scheme and Marcie needs money, so they get together on this matchmaking club. First comes the murder of the nutcase next door, then the idea to solve the murder before dear auntie gets tossed in the clink, then a much needed makeover fo Marcie. No spoilers here!
Don't miss this one!
