Reel Murder: A Talk Radio Mystery, Book 2 (Unabridged‪)‬

Great Cozy

Maggie Walsh is visiting her mother, Lola, on the set of Death Watch, an indie movie about a forensic psychologist. When the director finds out that Maggie’s former job was as a forensic psychologist in Manhattan; he offers her a job as a consultant. This sounds like an interesting job so Maggie agrees to help. While filming one of the scenes on location something happens with one of the prop guns and the lead actress is killed. The more Maggie learns about the actress; the people more Maggie’s counts as suspects in the murder. Detective Rafe Martino is in charge of the investigation and once again advises Maggie to stay out of things and let him and the police force handle the investigation.

This is the 2nd book in the series, but can definitely be enjoyed as a stand-alone mystery. I enjoyed seeing a little of the forensic psychologist Maggie. Maggie is still doing her talk show but you get to see how she deduces who should be a suspect in the murder. There are several twists and turns and red herrings that Author Mary Kennedy includes in the story to keep you guessing whodunit. Kennedy includes a hint of a possible budding romance in the partnering of Detective Rafe and Maggie. I also loved seeing Maggie’s mom, Lola, in her ideal environment. Lola is such a fun character and seeing her element as an actress was great.

I recommend this book to cozy mystery lovers. I was provided with a copy of this book with the hopes I would review. All thoughts and opinions are my own and in no way influenced by anyone.
