About this listen

Reality TV meets murder in the first in a new mystery series from the author of the Maternal Instincts Mysteries and coauthor of the New York Times best-selling Scrapbooking Mysteries.

When brokenhearted Georgia Thornton goes looking for romance on reality TV, she has nothing to lose - apart from a good man, a cash prize, and maybe her life.... What was Georgia thinking? Sure, some cad ditched her at the altar, but can she really find love on TV? Her best friend - and producer of the reality show Love or Money - thinks so.

Ten men. Ten adventure-filled dates. What can go wrong? For starters, a faulty bungee cord that hurls Georgia's first date into a tragic spiral off the Golden Gate Bridge. He's replaced by Paul Sanders, Georgia's former fiancé. But the cop isn't looking for a TV gig. Suspecting that the lover's leap was no accident, Paul's going undercover. When another bachelor gets a fatal kiss-off, the reality is that someone has killer new plans for the show - and for Georgia herself. Now, under the threat of permanent cancellation, Georgia fears that the only man on the set she can trust is the one man she just can't count on....

I have listened to other books of this author and while they are not the best of the best they are good enough for light listening. This book on the other hand is lukewarm. I found the narrations of the show scripts repetitive and the characters a bit flat; it doesn’t explain the motif of the killer for example.
Most of the story is picked up towards the end, making the beginning boring. Some of the story line feels force, for example the one around of the last victim, I won’t say anything to spoil thoug.

Meh

Was this a good well written book? No not really. Did I still listen to the whole thing in excitement? Yes. It’s like a romantic movie that you watch in the evening and forget the next day. It’s ok.
