Show Notes Transcript

A Fatal Fiction Fun Cozy Mystery is a fun murder mystery! I found the main character, Mikki, to be quite engaging. Mikki is a retired school teacher who lives with her Calico cat, that she calls Calpurnia. Mikki spends much of her free time editing books. Mikki loves a good mystery, so when someone in town is murdered, she is on the case. Mikki is entirely serious about solving the mystery of who committed the murder of Greg Onslow. I found myself chuckling over Mikki’s plans and schemes. However, it’s how Mikki physically carries out her plans that is both dangerous, yet hilarious in some ways!  

A Fatal Fiction is exactly what it should be, an entertaining and fun cozy mystery. Yes, please forgive us cozy mystery fans. We just can’t help loving a witty story with a murder wrapped up inside. Now if only Columbo could have carried off some of the physical feats Mikki accomplished in her quest to figure out who killed Greg Onslow. And that is exactly what I’m not going to tell you, who killed Greg Onslow. You’ll have to read the book to find that out!

Book Review: (00:57)

Okay so as I mentioned, A Fatal Fiction is fun cozy murder mystery, and this is the 3rd release in the new "Deadly Edits" mystery series written by cozy author Kaitlyn Dunnett (and as I said yes, it’s a Pseudonym. (Laugh) I have read the previous books in the series and highly recommend the series.

 A Fatal Fiction Fun Cozy Mystery is a fun murder mystery! I found the main character, Mikki, to be quite engaging.

Book Review: (03:11)

 A Fatal Fiction is exactly what it should be, an entertaining and fun cozy mystery. Yes, please forgive us cozy mystery fans. We just can’t help loving a witty story with a murder wrapped up inside. Now if only Columbo could have carried off some of the physical feats Mikki accomplished in her quest to figure out who killed Greg Onslow. And that is exactly what I’m not going to tell you, who killed Greg Onslow. You’ll have to read the book to find that out. 

 Book Review: (03:39)

Anyway, uhm, Greg is a gruff man. He has no qualms of verbally abusing both men and women, including Mikki. In fact shortly before he was murdered, Greg and Mikki had a loud and animated argument in front of bystanders no less. Okay, so yes, seventy year old Mikki has landed herself right smack in the middle of the local police detective’s investigation of Onslow’s murder. 

Book Review: (04:05)

 Let the fun begin! I thoroughly enjoyed A Fatal Fiction, which is the third book, as I mentioned, in the Deadly Edits mystery series. I chuckled and laughed out loud as Mikki carried out her own investigation of Onslow’s murder. And I must say, the seventy years young, Mikki, pulls out all the stops as she performs some outstanding physical feats. Eat your heart out Jackie Chan and Tom Cruise! Many thanks to the author, Kaitlyn Dunnett, for writing A Fatal Fiction fun mystery, because that is exactly what it is.
