Oliver Joplin is found murdered after Brendan Phelan’s  rock concert.  The show was full of bass, guitars, cracking whips, and the sounds of gunshots.  Detective Inspector Angela Costello and her team are called to investigate.  They soon discover that very few people liked or trusted Joplin.  He had a lot of shady deals.  Who could have killed him?

My thoughts-

This book was intriguing.  I had a hard time putting it down.  It was one of those books that I couldn’t read before going to bed, because I wouldn’t be sleeping until late in the night.  I didn’t expect those who were guilty to be guilty.  I was kept guessing until the end.  The relationships between the main characters grew in this book.  Detective Constable Gary Houseman and Angela grew closer, because they worked together, and he dated her stepdaughter.  They worked well and were able to solve the murder with the help of their team.  

I enjoyed reading a mystery where the D.I. was a woman and one of the main characters.  I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries.  I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Kristy Manners.  In Dead Gorgeous, by Elizabeth Flynn, she is a model who was mysteriously murdered.

D.I. Angela Costello is busy trying to solve this murder.  Kristy was trying to be a larger part of the designing world than just being a model.  Was that why she was murdered.  Did she become involved in something that was dangerous or did her ex-boyfriend want her so much that he killed her, so no one could have her?  Or was it one of the other people who did not like her?

About the Author-

Elizabeth Flynn wrote Game, Set, and Murder.  She currently lives in London and has experience in theater.

My thoughts-

I thought Dead Gorgeous was excellent.  I was not sure who the murderer was until the very end of the book.  I had my suspects, but none of them turned out to be true.

I have not read the other book in the series, Game, Set and Murder, but I did not need to, to enjoy this book.  I did not feel as if I was missing any important information about the main characters.

Author Elizabeth Flynn did an excellent job with the characters, descriptions, and the build-up to the climax to the murder mystery.  I wish I could tell you what I enjoyed.  I would be spoiling the entire book if I told you, so I won’t.

I really enjoyed reading a mystery where the D.I. was a woman and one of the main characters.  While God was not a main part of this book, I enjoyed the parts we was in (I cannot tell you what it is, I do not want to spoil it).  I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries.
