I got the novel even before reading the review. Its name is just that intriguing. And the far I have read, it seems to be living up to its rep. Great book. Awesome review.

Latest Review: I'm Going to Kill that Cat by F. Della Notte

Post by Mely918 »

It's quite an unusual mix, to have a murder mystery novel incorporate so much humor. Yet, it seems to work for this book. I'm not used to seeing such light-heartedness in these type of stories, but I'm very curious to see how well the author pulls it off. There seems to be very few things wrong with this book. I wonder if Jennifer's mom really is the culprit, or if someone else killed her husband. I'm also curious of the plot twist at the end. I'd definitely pick this book as a leisure read. Thank you for a great review!

While this sounds like a fun book, I'd rather read it's predecessor first.

The book sounds exciting with enough twists to keep the reader on edge to the end of the book. Learning about her father's death is aweful but then learning that it is a murder, then that her mother is a suspect, and finally that her father had enough dark secrets that might have resulted in his murder is even more terrible. It will be interesting to read this book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I love the sound of this book, I haven't read a crime thriller book as of yet, but I love storylines involving schemes and plots of mystery!

A crime thriller seems like a nice way to end my weekend. The review gives me more reasons to look for the book.

The plot seems really interesting and I'm open to reading it, but I'm a bit skeptical about reading this book before I read the prequel. Amazing review.

a book about a very dark subject but is written in a very light-hearted way sounds interesting. it definitely made me curious how effective that will work. though seeing those perfect ratings i can tell already that it doesn't disappoint. good job on the review. it was amazingly positive and light-hearted to read.

I like the mix of humor in a "murder mystery" book. Sounds like you can't take to seriously and just a book to enjoy. Thanks for the great review!

This book talks about Jennifer Burns and their family life. It exposes the difficulties that Jeniffer and their family was facing. It also exposes the social evils that are normally done in the society that Jeniffer Burns comes from like betrayal and murder

Jennifer has a lot of acts in this narrative. I read and reviewed the book, the secrets of Jennifer's father are depressing and very sensitive to the mind. Jennifer thought she was the only child of her father, but that was not the case. Her father had another affair with a different woman.
