NEW RELEASE!! The Skinny On Jack book #2 in the humorous Jack B Smart cozy mystery series.
https://amzn.to/2Kg7S0q
Jacqueline Bouviér Smart, aka Jack B to friends and family, is an aspiring mystery writer and part time amateur sleuth who has once again sworn off men and murder.
Inheriting shares in a weight loss company over the holidays should be a good thing, not something that leads to bombs going off and your car getting blown up. Right? Jack B doesn’t think so. Nor does she trust on again, off again beau, Seattle Police Detective Stone Maddox to catch the culprits.
When she starts to investigate, she discovers more might be disappearing at the weight loss clinic than pounds. The owner has been missing for a few months. Before she can figure out what’s going on, her counselor dies. Then Stone gets involved, and his brother Duke, and three gun-totin’ grannies, and even her deceased ex-husband. Before Jack B knows what hit her, she’s up to her favorite hoop earrings in men and murder. Again.

Good, but not Great
July 1, 1999
"The Bride's Secret" is a book that left me with a strange feeling: it's entertaining, but not entirely satisfying. The secondary characters are appropriately quirky, the sex scene is pretty hot stuff, and Ms. Lee throws in twists galore-perhaps a few too many. The numerous twists and turns almost get dizzying; there's no chance to take them all in, since there's always another one on the way.
If anything, I think it was too much like a gothic and not enough like Ms. Lee. The emotion that usually fills her work wasn't there this time, and the characters were missing their usual depth. Instead, Chris is the dark, enigmatic hero to the extreme, almost infuriatingly so, and none of the big revelations have quite the impact they probably should. The sex appeal and mystery aspects are present. I just didn't care about the characters: they were too standard and never became more than that. I didn't dislike the book; I just usually expect more from an Adrianne Lee novel. But there are more than a few readers out there who will love Ms. Lee's take on the classic gothic formula, and I'm sure they won't be disappointed. It's a matter of personal taste. You know who you are.
