Summary

It was a kiss to kill for....

Brandy Alexander’s the real deal. Yes, that’s her real name and no, she’s not a stripper, but her best friend Julia is. Brandy still lives with her parents in the Irish Channel and she’s sort of semi kind of engaged to the boy next door, who’s one of New Orleans’ finest. In fact, Dante, the BF, is such a thoroughgoing New Orleanian he always manages Mardi Gras parade duty on his own block. So you'd think Brandy might be a little self-conscious when a suave smoothie in one of the gentlemen’s walking clubs mesmerizes her into a big fat Mardi Gras smooch right in front of him. But not a bit. Because after all, it's Mardi Gras, and also for another good reason: “That kiss was long, slow, hot, unlike any kiss I’d ever had in my life.”

A first date that gets bloody...

She makes a date to meet Mr. Good Kiss after the parade (Yes! Right in front of Mr. Right Next Door) but she arrives just in time to see him get shot, but fortunately not shot dead. Before he passes out, he pulls her close and whispers, “Save Isabella.” 

Wall Street Journal best-selling author Colleen Mooney delivers a zany, offbeat thrill ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat. You’d think a mystery that begins with an eligible man taking a bullet might be a bit dark, but Colleen Mooney has something else in mind, something like a screwball chase all over town, from Lee Circle to the Lakefront, with a stop at Charity Hospital, and finally to the French Quarter’s favorite gay dance club, at all times accompanied by Schnauzers, one of them named Geaux Cup.

In Colleen Mooney’s funny, romantic, delightfully meandering cozy mystery, you gon’ have a authentic New Orleans experience, dawlin’! And a wild ride into the bargain.

A good book!

I listened to the audio version. So I’ll start with the narration. I had to get used to the narrator, but that’s always the case with me. That isn’t a bad thing, it’s just because I’m not a native English speaker, so I have to pause it every now and again at the start. But then I got used to it and it was good. I’d have liked it even more if it were a little more natural. But the accents were done well. 4 stars seems to me to be fair.

Then the story itself, because that’s what it’s all about after all! It’s mostly rom com with a bit of mystery thrown in. There were many things to love. The lightheartedness, the pace, the fun. The quirkiness! I can always appreciate a bit of quirk. But maybe it was taken a little too far at times, to the point where it got hard to believe. But it was well written and humorous! So, I believe that once again, 4 stars are fair.

Al in all I can honestly say that I would recommend this!

A fun mystery romance

A funny cozy mystery with some great dialogue and funny scenes, I Liked the female lead character, writing is excellent, the image of lots of drag acts rushing to the rescue was a highlight. Narration was very good if slightly stilted on occasion.
I was given a free copy through storyorigin in exchange for an honest review

Rescue this book by listening to it

I enjoyed this book. New Orleans is a bright and colourful place and the perfect setting for this cozy and fun mystery to take place in.The author did a really good job writing the story and it was so easy to picture the setting or the costumes because of it. But it wasn't just the scenery that captured the imagination as I liked the characters and couldn't help but laugh at some of the antics they got up to. The mystery was good as well and I can't wait to start the next book. Move over Stephanie Plum there is a new girl in town and she is ready to party.
Brandy is attending the Mardi Gras parade like she has done for as long as she can remember but she wasn't prepared for the kiss. You have to kiss one of the gentlemen in the walking parade in exchange for a paper flower, a tradition every body is happy to comply with but when Brandy gets singled out by one man in particular she gets more than she bargained for when there lips met. He asks her to meet him at the end of the parade. Surprising not only herself she does only to see him get shoot before they can exchange there names. He does whisper one name "Save Isabella". Before she can find out more he is whisked off to hospital and Brady and her friends Julia back home.Brandy has never been very good at being told what to do especially by Dante, her next door neighbour, policeman and boyfriend since the playground. So she and Julia hang up there high heels and tight skirts in order to put on disguises and go under cover. They will go up against some bad guys with guns, car thrives and crooked cops in order to save Isabella before the night is over.
I liked the narrator she did a really good job with the characters giving them accents so they each sounded different.
