First Thought when Finished: Dead Air had a fun, quirky case but the characters just didn't grab me. They had potential though!

Story Thoughts: Dead Air was the beginning of a new cozy mystery series. I liked Mary Kennedy's writing voice and she wrote an overall super fun mystery. The only thing I really had a hard time with was the main characters. I had a hard time warming up to/liking Maggie, the lead character. She was very smart and capable but a bit to offish for me. I did like her mother and roommate though. Towards the end, I even felt that Maggie had potential.

Enough with what I didn't like, here is what I did like: the mystery. I really enjoyed how quirky the case into the dead New Age guru got. It was fun to go from trailer parks to searching the glades. Some of the side characters (suspects) were completely fun and had me giggling. They gave the case personality and oomph! I am probably going to give book 2 a whirl at some point because the series has serious potential.

Audio Thoughts:

Narrated By Kim McKean / Length: 10 hrs and 23 mins

Kim McKean did a decent job with the narration and I warmed up to her more towards the end of the story. I just don't think her style really fit the main character that well. I would be interested to listen to her read another type of novel (maybe straight fiction/contemporary romance). She had a very pleasant voice and cadence but with cozies you need to have a bit more larger than life personality (voice) to do them properly.

Final Thoughts: Cute cozy that had a solid mystery.

EXCELLENT FIRST IN A SERIES!!

Reviewed in the United States on 11 January 2010

This is an excellent book. It grabs and holds your attention from the first minute you open it. Being a radio psychologist is a substitute career for our heroine. When she interviews "Sanjay" she immediately sees some definite flaws in his character and her sense of people immediately perks up and tells her that he is NOT what she was lead to believe he was!!

The best character in the book is definitely "Lola", her aging screen actress Mother!! She will lead everyone on a merry chase and helps her psychologist daughter to "sniff" out the murderer!!

You can definitely NOT go wrong purchasing and enjoying this new book....hopefully part of a great new series!!

good series

I've read the entire series and really like it. The characters are good and living in south Florida, it rings true with settings. My only criticism (which is really minor) is that Irina doesn't seem Swedish to me. Easy to ignore and move on. She's a good character even so. I look forward to #5.

Enjoyable

I liked the protagonist and the story. Not a fan of the romantic palpitations (no sex Involved, just quickening pulses) but they were easily overlooked. I ill read the next book.
