I give A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore, 5 stars.

I really enjoy cozy mysteries and this book intrigued me, so I thought I would try it. Besides, what’s not to like about books, coffee, pets, and a beach setting? It led up to my expectations and then some. The characters were great — Beck is a great main character and the secondary characters compliment the book so well. My favorite is Beck’s grandmother. Just wait until you meet her!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a cozy mystery without a murder and the main character trying to solve it, now would it? In great Agatha Christie fashion, we have a whole slew of choices for the killer. The author does not make it obvious either. And the motive? I never saw it coming!

If you enjoy cozy mysteries with fun, great characters, in a usually peaceful setting, I highly recommend this book. I really hope there will be more books revolving around Beach Reads.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an amazing crime story which I loved. I was totally captivated by it from the start and thought I knew who the murderer was but boy was I wrong. The twists and turns are so good it keeps you guessing.

Beck and her gran run a book shop/cafe. After holding a book signing for a popular author, a lady who attended turns up dead. Was it a robbery or was it just plain murder.

When the police seem like they are on the wrong track Beck decides to take it upon herself to do some search of her own.

What she discovers about the lady who died and her connections keeps the suspect list growing and you never know who it is.

Will the police send the wrong man to jail or will Becks hard detective work solve who the true killer was before they strike again.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Book Signing To Die For is the first book I have read by author Judy Moore. What a fun setting for a book – Beck O’Rourke and her Grandma Alice co-own Beach Reads bookstore. Wouldn’t that be fun? Grandma Alice is a no nonsense, say it as it is character, Lizzie the younger sister is a lifeguard who wants nothing to do with the bookstore, and Beck is the main character who can be shy but as she gets older she is growing out of her shyness and is finding her true calling.

The story gets your attention from the beginning. The Beach Reads bookstore sounds like a wonderful shop to visit. The premise of this book is that the bookstore has a book signign and a meet & greet with authors from time to time. On this fateful night, one of the book signing attendees is found dead near the shop. The mystery gets Beck to realize her passion of crime solving.

A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore is not her normal mystery story it is a fast paced cozy murder mystery. Judy has written the story that throws you of course, just when you think you are getting to the “whodunnit”. There are twists and turns, thrills and spills, danger and lies, and definitely keeps you guessing. The characters are likable and realistic and the world in which Judy paints is so vivid you can clearly see it. I loved Lizzy’s grandma, she is such a hoot, sassy and independent woman who knows her own mind. It is a great read to get lost in and I can’t wait to see what Judy brings us next.

Girl Trap (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton. Once again this series captured my full attention and I just couldn’t put it down. This author knows how to keep me guessing and on my toes. This one is just as interesting and intriguing as the others. The fast pace had my head busy but it’s not so fast it’s rushed it’s a good fast. The characters are complex and well written, by now I’m feeling a great connection with them. I do recommend reading this series in order and I promise it’ll be a great way to spend some time in book world. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Girl Trap (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton

This series gets better with each book and this is now my favorite of the series. I was sitting at the edge of my seat flipping pages as fast as I could just to find out what was going to happen.

Mike and Madeline are working separately for the first time since opening up their agency. Mike’s in LA helping his cousin while Madeline is in San Louis Obispo trying to track down a daughter who doesn’t want to be found. I liked Madeline from the beginning but I think I love her now. She is a bad chick and not afraid of anything at this point. And holy cow, what about Mike!? He moved up the ladder a lot after reading this.

Two very determined people will get things done and they certainly do here. I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend you give it a read.

Nothing is as it seems in Southern California where the weather is perfect and Hollywood isn’t too far away. MDPI is set to investigate two missing persons cases. Two beautiful Minnesota sisters and there’s nothing ordinary about their disappearance but the disappearance of an heiress of an eight-figure fortune goes missing, it begins to raise eyebrows.
Mike Delaney, Madeline’s partner, Madeline’s partner has a connection to the missing sisters as it’s his cousin’s girlfriend and her sister. Madeline is on the other side in San Luis Obispo at a 12-year mystery at a Catholic boarding school. These two partners discover a shocking truth behind the glitz and glamour. With lives on the line, the partners face a hopeless outcome and viscous felons who will stop at nothing to get their way.
This book will have you hooked from every page from beginning to end. I’ve enjoyed Madeline’s journey from the beginning of every book in this series. I love Madeline’s search for justice no matter where she is. This one was and is entertaining and original.

What can I say about Girl Trap (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton. I can say it’s a great little mystery. I can say it has great characters. I can say it has an intricate plot that totally blind sided me. But there’s so much more to this story. Not only has Ms. Hamilton created a great story she doubled it up. You get two for one in this escapade. Madeline’s story and Mike’s story. I love all things Madeline and Mike but I especially love the way Madeline works through her own tragedies. We get an up close and personal look at how someone copes with the traumas of life. Great mystery, great action and just the right touch of good clean romance. Cynthia Hamilton is a name I will remember and one I will only be too happy to pass along to others.

Girl Trap is the third book in Cynthia Hamilton’s Girl Trap series and another 4 star read. Much like the first two books in the series, Girl Trap provided enough twists and turns in it’s storyline to keep me interested from start to finish. The books flow well and honestly, I continue to enjoy Madeline and the character growth and progression she’s shown throughout the series and I truly look forward to seeing what else Madeline (and Cynthia Hamilton) has in store for us.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Madeline is back again in this third installment in the series. This book is interesting as it has two plot lines happening…and I found myself intrigued to find out what would happen with both of them. Mike and Madeline are still running their party planning business and their PI firm. Mike, the crazy ex, makes himself known again in this story. However, this time we are left with an unknown conclusion to the story…so I am thinking there is going to (hopefully) be another book that will let us know what happened!

I enjoyed this book. It was fun to read and kept me guessing what was going to happen next. You don’t necessarily have to have already read the other stories in the series to understand what is happening (but it adds to their back story). Another good book in this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Girl Trap (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 3) by Cynthia Hamilton is a riveting read. As with the other two books in the series, Maddie is a powerful female lead. However, in this book, Mike, her partner, also gets to come into his own. When Madeline is tasked with tracking down a missing person, who hasn’t been seen in 10 years. Mike is off on a mission of his own, to track down his cousins missing girlfriend and her sister. I really liked how this book had two completely different mysteries to solve and this gave the characters a chance to shine individually. I also love the twists in the tale, I didn’t expect that ending! Really enjoyable read and as always I eagerly anticipate the next edition of the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Girl Trap is the 3rd book in the Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton. This is a fast paced, thrilling detective series with gripping storylines and great characters. Each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone but I think you’d get a better understanding of Madeline and Mike’s characters and their background.
In Girl Trap, Madeline and Mike are both working on different missing women cases so we get the added bonus of 2 great stories at the same time.
Madeline is looking a Hannah, who has been missing for 10 years. Her mother is dying and wants to reconcile with her estranged daughter before she dies. Well, that’s the story she tells Madeline. What unfolds is a completely different story that has a very unexpected ending that you will not see coming.
At the same time Mike is looking for his cousin Jesse’s missing girlfriend and her sister. I have to say that this particular story had me more gripped than the story Maddie was working on. This storyline leads you into the dark and murky world of woman trafficking.
This book took me a little longer than the first 2 in the series to get gripped by, but once I did, it gripped me hard and I could not put this book down. Cynthia Hamilton sure knows how to write a well thought out thriller that will really have you invested in the story and the characters. The more I read of Madeline and Mike, the ore I come to love and admire that people that they have become. Both have overcome some serious adversity in the years preceding these stories. I can’t wait to see what Cynthia Hamilton has in store next for Maddie and Mike.

Girl Trap is the third novel in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton, it follows, ‘Spouse Trap’ and ‘A High Price to Pay’. Event coordinator and private investigator Madeline Dawkins adventures continue in this story. Both Madeline and partner Mike are busy with two cases which at first glance look like simple missing person cases, however it doesn’t take long to discover that the disappearance of two sisters from Minnesota and an estranged heiress who has never touched her eight-figure fortune are not simple cases at all. Mike heads off to search for his cousin’s missing girlfriend and her sister whilst Madeline’s investigation leads her to a Catholic boarding school. Both investigations lead them into danger and soon several lives are hanging in the balance. Mike and Madeline are then faced with both daunting odds and ruthless criminals.
Having been gripped by the first two books in this series I was looking forward to this third instalment and I was definitely not disappointed. I was hooked from page one with this fast paced mystery, adventure, thriller. I love Madeline as the main character and heroine of this series and I’m always cheering her on to a good outcome. I found this a great read and was fully immersed in Madeline Dawkins world once again.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Girl Trap is the third book in the Madeline Dawkins series. I would say that this book could be read as a stand alone novel, as the author, Cynthia Hamilton, gives a good amount of background information to catch new readers up. However, I always enjoy a book more when I’m already familiar with character and their backstories, so I personally would say it might be even more enjoyable if you start from the beginning of the series.
The start of the book is a refresher, reminding us of the key points that you need to know. It soon dives into the story though, and with Madeline and her partner Mike working on two separate cases there is plenty of action to keep you hooked.
I really like how the plots and characters have developed throughout the series, Madeline and Mike find themselves in uncharted waters this time and having to think on their toes. As always a few surprises are dropped in too, which makes you want to keep reading for more.
A nice, easy read to get lost in for an afternoon.

A Book Signing To Die ForA Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Book Signing to Die For is a cosy mystery book by Judy Moore. If you’re not sure what a cosy mystery is, you’re in luck because protagonist Becca tells us in chapter five as “kind of a Hallmark version of a mystery – no swearing, no extreme violence, and definitely G-rated”. A Book Signing to Die For definitely fits the bill, centring around a bookshop/café in a quaint seaside location with a book loving protagonist and a handsome detective. If you’re after something comfortably engaging, this is the book for you!
I particularly liked the cast of characters (human and animal!). At the outset, some seem a little two-dimensional and stereotypical (the sister who hates books and is obsessed with boys, for example) but over the course of the story they are fleshed out and developed. Miss Alice is one of my favourites, with her stern and driven attitude towards business and the soft side that we glimpse every now and then.
The setting, and the book signing event that gets the story going, will appeal to fans of mystery books, so it’s definitely a likeable book! And a holiday to Florida, even if only on the pages of a book, is a welcome escape for anyone stuck somewhere cold, rainy and far from the sea.
For me, this is a four-star book. A great comfort read, and an intriguing mystery!

This is the 3rd book in the Madeline Dawkins series and they just keep getting better.

This book finds our two favourite PI’s splitting up and taking on 2 separate cases.

Mike takes on the case of his cousins missing gf and her sister. What starts out as a case of the gf taking his money and leaving soon becomes something more sinister as Mike and Jesse work and put the pieces together. They start to uncover things they never thought possible and when they come across a sex trafficking ring and a possible ransom they start to believe that the girls were involved in something much more sinister.

Meanwhile Madeline is on the hunt for Elise’s daughter who has been missing for years. Even though there is obviously no love lost between the mother and her daughter, Elise hires then to find her daughter Hannah. Elise tells them that she is dying and that is why she needs Hannah found. With this case and trail being really really cold will Madeline stand a chance of finding anything. When she starts putting pieces of a story together things don’t add up. A fatal crash that killed Hannah’s father is suspicious. Was it an accident like Elise claimed or was it more sinister.

This book will keep you on the edge all the way through. You can’t put it down because you need to find out the truth and the answers to these cases. Amazing read.

A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore is an entertaining beach read filled with murder, mugging, family drama and secrets. It is my first read by this writer and she will be one of my go to writers when I feel like something cozy but with a slight edge!
The story takes place in a small Florida town of Manatee Beach and we have O’Rourke women who will need to take on a murder that happens in their Beach Reads bookstore and coffee shop during a book signing. Beck is the older sister who co-owns the place with her grandmother Miss Alice, younger sister Lizzie is the third female of the family that rounds up the trio, oh and let’s not forget the family’s Great Dane, Coquina!
When the book signing guest who knew the writer from years earlier turns up murdered, Beck decides to find out who killed her. You think you are just going along on the ride and can figure it out yourself but I tell you, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface! Throw in the hot detective, someone who Beck went to school with and who is partially responsible for her giving up her dreams of becoming a detective and you have a story that you do not mind staying up late in the evening!
I am not sure if this is an opening to a new series but I hope that Beck will have more opportunities to flex her detective muscle AND who knows what will become of her relationship with the hot detective!

A Book Signing To Die For by Judy Moore a five-star Beach Read. This is a charming cozy mystery set in the small town of Mantee Beach and this is all about how there was a book signing with a popular cozy mystery author Marcia Graybill, with book shop co-owner Beck and the other co-owner her Grandma Alice and all seems to be going well, this pairing is just so nicely done, I don’t know if I could live and work with my Grandma, but I think as Lizzie Beck’s sister just adds to the whole story. Anyhoo, after the signing one of the people who attended turns up dead, que Beck finding her dreams coming true, as a closet detective she gets to put her mind to it. Que red herrings and twists galore and you have a great story, honestly it will keep you hooked, and you will be kept guessing as to who is the killer!!! This was a great story and I will be keeping an eye out for Judy Moore.

I have yet to read a Judy Moore mystery novel that I didn’t love and A Book Signing to Die For: Beach Reads, is no exception to the rule. This book has all the things that I want when I sit down with a good hearty mystery novel. I loved that this was something I could lay out in the sun and soak up and feel as if I was right there in Florida at Beach Reads enjoying my very own novel.

We follow Beck who owns Beach Reads in a quaint Florida town with her grandmother. This is the ideal place to find the perfect read and enjoy a snack or drink with like minded people. Beck is excited to host a book signing for a very famous cozy mystery author. What she doesn’t see coming will change everything for her. Will things get better or will her life take a spiral downwards. I loved this novel and how it weaved the mystery so well that most of the time when I thought I had it figured all out I would still be pleasantly surprised that things did not turn out the way I had anticipated. I can’t wait to see what we will get next from Judy Moore!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Girl Trap is the third book in The Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton. Madeline Dawkins is an event planner and private investigator in Southern California. Madeline and her partner Mike Delaney must work on two cases that seem fairly straightforward at first. While Madeline investigates an estranged heiress in San Luis Obispo, Mike is on his way to Los Angeles to look for his cousin’s missing girlfriend and her sister. They are both about to uncover a terrifying world where the criminals will stop at nothing to keep what they have. Cynthia Hamilton writes yet another thrilling mystery in this series. The author does a wonderful job portraying two different mysteries at the same time. There are difficult topics discussed in this book, such as sex trafficking and mental illness, but the author does so in a tasteful way. I have thoroughly enjoyed this novel and look forward to the last story in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When two separate investigations seemed to be linked can Mike and Madeline get to the cause and help those who are lost in the wave of destruction.

We are back with Madeline and as usual she is busy with both businesses but when some asks her to open up a 12 year old case she jumps at the chance, but what lies between the investigation is worst than she could have ever imagined.

While Madeline is looking into the 12 year old boarding school case, Mike decides to investigate the missing persons of two people close to his cousin but when delving into the case he uncovers that the two cases may not be that far apart from each and that the two of them are going to get more than they bargained for when secrets start to become uncovered.

This story delves into the world of human trafficking and it leaves you wrestling with the couple to find the answers to the questions of what has happened to these people. I love the relationship between the main characters and there roles have developed through the two books and now the third. Although this flows quite nicely as a standalone book as Cynthia gives you a brief outline for the history of the previous stories I would recommend you to have read these books before hand, not just for the history but they are great stories too.

This story opens up Madeline to yet more heartache and please has this woman not gone through enough but she keeps sucking it up and carrying in which is one her best character traits. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story and thought that it had just the right amount of suspense to keep you wanting to read on to get to the end. I was not disappointed and can’t wait to read the final conclusion of this great series. Thank you for great stories and brilliant characters.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Another great mystery with plenty of suspense.

Madeline and Mike are at it again. Madeline is searching for a missing young lady, who has been missing for 12 years. She knows something is amiss as she has not touched any of her money. Just not right. Mike on the other hand is searching for his cousin’s missing girlfriend and her sister. Both investigations come on the same day, 3 ladies missing and a small trail takes off. Will all 3 ladies be unharmed? Killed? Runaways?

Cynthia Hamilton has done it again. Her book is loaded with suspense and crime. I love her characters and the story that is wrapped around them. This story never stops, it is smooth, terrifying, tense, and builds a roller coaster. At different points of this book I had fought many emotions. Now I am looking forward to book 4. Great story Cynthia Hamilton!
