Dying for a Clue
I'll only read another of these books if I have nothing else. Sep 23, Chris Blackton rated it it was ok. This book was written in an unusual fashion -- two chapter with sub chapters. The first half or chapter was confusing and I almost gave up. Since I am not a quitter I persevered and fortunately the last part of the book was much better.

Top Secret Twenty-One Jennifer Marsh 10 books. Obviously her books are missing something. Making Waves Catherine Todd "I loved it! A touch of realism, or writing what she knows by planning it. Is the author saying that all non church goers are evil?
The only reason I've relented and started putting stars up there is to credit the good ones, which were being unfairly uncredited. So, all you'll ever see from me is a five-star or a one-star since no stars isn't a rating, unfortunately.
This novel sounded really intriguing from the blurb - which means the blurb did its job, I guess! The problem was that what started out as a really grabbing premise - a writer concocted a plot for a murder mystery, and is now in prison accused of the very murder she plotted. The problem with this, for me, was that the author's idea of a twist seemed to be adding a trope romance.
That might even have worked except that the murder mystery was forgotten about as we abruptly flashed-back to her romance. Even that might have worked had the new guy in her life been the villain. This brings me to the second problem - the real villain here is the main character. She's pissed off with an agent who wasn't very nice to her but then she wasn't nice in return, either , and for no good reason decides to start sending her threatening letters. The male is tall, so the female can be rendered into a little girl rather than a woman.
He has hair falling into his eyes, he's muscular, he has 'startlingly blue eyes', because brown eyes look like…well, not chocolate so this style of authorship evidently thinks. And he's going to fix her because she's broken, and you know that every girl needs a guy to both fix and validate her. In short, it went quickly down the toilet. This is one of a series of seven as of this review , but detective series are really nothing more than a rehash of the original story when you get right down to it, with a few tweaks to the template in order to try and make the next story sound original when it really isn't.
I have no time for writers who milk money out of readers like that while eschewing any efforts towards inventiveness or creativity. There was some nice humor here and there, particularly in the writing group that the "detective" attended, and the novel was relatively short, but that's the best I can say for it. One wonderfully and, I assume, unintentional piece of humor was that at one point the protagonist agrees, right at the end of chapter ten, to meet someone at eleven!
I loved that, but to put this in relationship terms, this book was simply not there for me when I needed it. Mar 07, Rebecca rated it liked it Shelves: Not exactly bad but not great either. Only character I liked was elderly woman. Others flat or using each other. Feb 21, Karen P rated it it was ok. The book was an easy read which is nice sometimes but I found it hard to find any sympathy for the main character and for me the ending seemed a little rushed. Feb 10, Debbie rated it did not like it. I got this book for free from BookBub. It sounded like a quick fun read. The main character is Jennifer Marsh, a writer with 8 unpublished novels in her closet who is tired of being rejected by literary agents.
She gets the wonderful idea from watching Oprah on how to finally break into publishing. Later she drugs a man to determine if her theory for an alibi is plausible. After Jennifer is accused of murder she explains everything to her friends and the people she used. Overall I did not enjoy this book. I found Jennifer to be extremely annoying. The side characters were all one-dimensional. There was no plot twist. The ending turned out exactly like I expected it to. I think the author was going for a humorous take on writers dealing with rejection.
I found it ridiculous. They connected with the protagonist. I am an avid reader not a writer. If you want a quick murder mystery you can try this book. I recommend searching for something better.

Mar 30, Paul rated it liked it Shelves: Liked it enough to buy the next one in the series. The main character, as-yet-unpublished author Jennifer Marsh, decides to plan a murder in order to liven up her writing. A touch of realism, or writing what she knows by planning it. But when the murder really happens, her plans make her suspect number one. It's an easy, quick-paced story, and Jennifer is a bit quirky. Nice, occasionally a dingbat, has her moments, but quirky. She has a new romantic interest that adds some fun to the story, and lots of female friends who are supportive.
Plus, the victim is obviously deserving of murder -- a book agent. In addition to being well-written, with great story-lines, there were some seriously funny moments that made me smile repeatedly people seem to frown on you laughing out loud when you are by yourself reading on buses or in restaurants, so I held myself to grinning. The book was a little tough for me to get into at first, and I initially hated the main character who talks to her future, as yet unconceived, child on a fairly regular basis as a plot device.
I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, but I did interact with her online. Aug 08, Char rated it it was ok Shelves: Jennifer Marsh wants to get published. Unfortunately with a stack of 8 novels in her closet, she still hasn't.

That's why she started writing novels, and why her Jennifer Marsh mystery series was born. Murder is nothing to laugh at, but how Jennifer thinks is, and that's what made writing the Jennifer books so much fun. It went on to receive an Ag Judy Fitzwater loves a great mystery.
It went on to receive an Agatha Award nomination and become an 8-book series. Less humor in these but lots of action, adventure, danger, and intrigue.
