Almost True Confessions
Almost True Confessions: Closet Sleuth Spills All | Jane O'Connor
6 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
Jane OConnor, New York Times bestselling author, editor, and creator of the Fancy Nancy books for children presents Almost True Confessions, a mystery for grown-ups starring Miranda "Rannie" Bookman whom we met in Dangerous Admissions. What could be more fun for a freelance copyeditor than a juicy expos about one of Manhattans most beloved society doyennes? But when Rannie arrives at the east side apartment of reclusive author Ret Sullivan, she finds more than the final draft of the manuscript waiting for her: tied to the bed and strangled with an Herms scarf is Rets half-naked body. Was this merely a case of rough sex that got a little too rough, as the police believe? Or was Ret murdered because someone didnt want her to meet her deadline? Once again, the heroine of Jane OConnors Dangerous Admissions proves that her mind is just as sharp as her blue pencils in Almost True Confessions: Closet Sleuth Spills All, a mystery full of sly humor and romance.

Mehso-so

I am still trying to figure this one out. The author has written a wildly popular series of children's books and it shows - a lot of names, etc feel very childish. And while there was some good depth to the mystery, some things felt really rushed and others felt shoe-horned in, like the scene was added to make the book longer. I'll read the other one in the series since I can get it on Scribd but I won't seek out any new ones.

My #AugustTBR - three books from my unread Scribd pile that'll also fill my quest to read 4 pre-2017 TBRs, a paper pre-2017 TBR, a book still languishing from my #JuneTBR, a highly anticipated 2017 acquisition, my book for #mummydaughterbookclub and a #JulyTBR that got swapped out for something else last month. Yikes, I'll be busy!
