Veronica Mars (2): An Original Mystery by Rob Thomas: Mr. Kiss and Tell
Veronica Mars (2): An Original Mystery by Rob Thomas: Mr. Kiss and Tell | Rob Thomas
In the second book in the "New York Times" bestselling mystery series, Veronica Mars is back with a case that will expose the hidden workings of one of Neptune s most murderous locations. The Neptune Grand has always been the seaside town s ritziest hotel, despite the shady dealings and high-profile scandals that seem to follow its elite guests. When a woman claims that she was brutally assaulted in one of its rooms and left for dead by a staff member, the owners know that they have a potential powder keg on their hands. They turn to Veronica to disprove or prove the woman's story. The case is a complicated mix of hard facts, mysterious occurrences, and uncooperative witnesses. The hotel refuses to turn over its reservation list and the victim won t divulge who she was meeting that night. Add in the facts that the attack happened months ago, the victim s memory is fuzzy, and there are holes in the hotel s surveillance system, and Veronica has a convoluted mess on her hands. As she works to fill in the missing pieces, it becomes clear that someone is lying but who? And why?"

8-20-22: My 82nd finished book of 2022! Book 2 in the Veronica Mars series. When a girl from Veronica‘s past is found beaten and raped in a field, Veronica is hired to prove the man identified is the wrong guy. But Veronica won‘t stop there. She has to find the right guy before he does it again. For fans of the show you get a nice dose of Logan, Mac, Wallace, Keith and Weevil. Sadly, I believe this is the last book for now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣8️⃣2️⃣

This review from 2015 even though I just finished reread last week: Another installment in the Veronica Mars canon. If we can't get another movie or tv show I will have to content myself with books. I really enjoyed this book and liked how it switched between Veronica and Keith's POV. It felt much more true to the series then the last book. And it had lots of Leo which I loved (no pun intended). (Con‘t below)

ReadingSusan ). I like when Veronica is confronted with moral issues and does something that is in a gray area. I also loved watching her struggle with her feelings of Logan going back to the ship. I think that was very realistic to her character. 5y
ReadingSusan One of the reasons I love Veronica Mars is because she is such a flawed protagonist. She definitely is selfish and focused on her work. But that is how real people are and sometimes I just enjoy a non perfect protagonist. 5y
ReadingSusan Back to 2019: interesting to see my thoughts now based on what happened on the tv show. I guess I always realized Veronica was kind of terrible. 5y
wanderinglynn Yeah, it was easier to understand her terribleness when she was in high school. But I started watching the new season & stopped after the first episode as I‘m not sure her character has grown that much whereas Logan has had an amazing development from spoiled rich kid to military officer. 5y
ReadingSusan @wanderinglynn yeah she really had no character growth. It was disappointing 5y

@kirkmoyers and I have been devouring Veronica Mars recently. We (well, especially, I) made a valiant effort to re-watch seasons 1-3 in advance of the release of the BRAND NEW season 4 on Hulu. And then season 4 dropped early. I hoped to finish re-watching, but I was SO worried about it being spoiled that we went ahead and watched while I was still in the midst of season 2. (continued in comments)

UnabridgedPod (No spoilers here, but I have FEELINGS. Let me know if you want to talk about the new season.) ⠀

I quickly learned through some semi-accidental internet reading that Rob Thomas had declared the two Veronica Mars novels as canon whose plot outcomes would affect season 4, and I remembered that I hadn't read Mr. Kiss and Tell, which I quickly remedied . . . in the midst of watching seasons 2 AND 4.
5y
UnabridgedPod Yes, there's a lot of juggling happening here. But I'm so loving it.⠀ 5y
UnabridgedPod In the mean time, the newer shows on my TiVo continue to wait, and the things that Kirk and I have been trying to watch all summer are still piling up. But I don't care. The whipsmart dialogue, noir feel, and comfort of familiar characters have made this detour into Neptune so, so worth it. Here's hoping for season 5! (edited) 5y

I liked the first book more, but this one was still enjoyable. It's odd because I've never seen the show (or the movie), and I don't generally go for gritty, noir type stuff. But there's something about Veronica that I really like. I ordered the dvds of season one of the show, and I'm gonna give it a shot.

lahousewyfe Veronica Mars is one of my favorite shows! I didn't know they did novelizations. Fun! 6y
Chrissyreadit I love the shows, movie and book! Bummed there are not more books. 6y
Traci1 @lahousewyfe as far as I can tell, there are only 2 books. I listened to the first (Thousand Dollar Tan Line) on audio - Kristin Bell narrated it and did a fabulous job. I'd highly recommend that version. For some reason they switched narrators for the second one (this one), so I read the print version. I think it would have been better on audio (with Kristin reading). 6y

I just read somewhere that the books are canon, so I am ready for the revival. I really wish there were more books because the books were so much better than season 3 and the movie. I liked that there was more Logan and Weevil, and even Leo (LoVe fans do not come at me for this), but the writers haven‘t found a decent balance so that all of our favorites from Neptune get their time to shine. Dick was mostly absent and there wasn‘t enough Wallace.

Walked into the library to make copies yesterday, rescued two lonely strays that were staring at me the whole time...man, my husband is lucky I like books & not cats!!! Lol, Mrs. Beeton is a British cookbook first published in 1963 and has info on how to keep your mackintosh from getting moldy in its "Housewife" section! I love old cookbooks, especially ones with tips for actual housekeeping!

Apparently I wasn't quite ready to leave Neptune and the 2nd Veronica Mars book was available from my library, so I checked it out. I liked this one even better than the 1st one. This book deals with a brutal rape and Veronica's attempts to solve the case. In this book, our heroine learns about the compromises that sometimes have to be made to have the life you want or to get a semblance of justice.

Although it was disappointing that Kristen Bell didn't narrate this one, I still really enjoyed this story. These books are so much like the TV series, it's fun seeing Veronica all grown up. I think even people who are not fans of the show could enjoy these books. I hope there is a third one!

#inthemoodforLoVe #nostalgia #seasonsreadings2016 The recent Gilmore Girls revival has sent me into a rewatching frenzy of the 2000s teen dramas, including Veronica Mars. I loved Veronica Mars and Logan and Veronica (LoVe) provided me with so much shipping angst. It's fun to continue detecting with Veronica in these post movie books and to see these angsty teens become happy adults though I am not finished yet!
