To Write a Wrong

GIVEAWAY

TURANO, JEN
TO WRITE A WRONG

Miss Daphne Beekman is a mystery writer by day, inquiry agent by night. Known for her ability to puzzle out plots, she happily works behind the scenes for the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency, staying well away from danger. However, when Mr. Herman Henderson arrives on the doorstep of the agency, desperate for someone to investigate numerous attempts on his life, Daphne soon finds herself in the thick of a case she's determined to solve.

Mr. Herman Henderson is also a mystery writer, but unlike the dashing heroes he pens, he prefers living a quiet life, determined to avoid the fate of his adventurous parents, who perished while searching for the Lost City of Gold.

As the list of suspects grows and sinister plots are directed at Daphne, the situation quickly deteriorates, and a revealed secret jeopardizes their newfound affection. Only time will tell if Daphne will be able to regain Herman's trust and save both their lives.

My Review:

These authors! Just when you think they can't get any more brilliant they publish another book that defies description and you're left scrambling for words to fill a review. Let's call me gobsmacked and call it quits. :-)

I laughed so hard I'm checking sit-ups off my exercise routine 'cause my belly got that much of a workout being pummeled inside out from hearty guffaws. Zany. Outrageous. Witty. Glib. I can't wipe the silly grin off my face. This book is destined to lift your spirits and lighten your load. 

I can honestly say I never imagined myself swooning over a Herman but swoon I did. :-) He's a man who doesn't think of himself as hero material which makes him all the more alluring. And he's a writer! And avid reader!! And he's forward thinking enough to be willing to hire a women's investigation agency! 

Speaking of which...that meet-cute is hysterical! The way Turano writes the dizzying twists and turns that make up conversations involving Daphne is priceless! I'm kind of worried that I was beginning to follow her rabbit trails of thought bursts by the end. She often leaves everyone around her muddled until she concludes with a brilliant solution that suddenly makes sense out of everything she said previously. So much fun to read!

As is always the case with a Turano novel there is a huge cast of quirky secondary characters who bring even more chaos and mayhem to the mix! And there's a house party full of them in this novel. Which means the whodunit possibilities are endless. The suspense thread is just as light-hearted and amusing as the rest of the story, for all that someone is trying to kill Herman! It's a clever plot with multiple surprises.

I  listened to the audible edition of To Write a Wrong and enjoyed Andrea Emmes interpretation of Jen Turano's characters. She captured them all to sweet perfection.

  8. Another wonderful Jen Turano - and I like the more unusual hero! I drive my dog crazy (she looks around and barks) when I read Jen's books because I keep laughing, and she can't understand the concept of reacting to a book. Thanks!
