Love You to Death

by Melissa Senate

Really engaging

I truly enjoyed this light murder mystery. The characters were engaging, I would love to read a sequel and continue to follow the story of Abby. The author did a great job of keeping the ending a surprise.

could be a cute movie!

This was such a quick read, it only took me two days. I thought that the fast moving plot and cute story line related to a lot of single girls in their mid-twenties. We've all had that horrible boyfriend or outrageous breakup, but I'm guessing most of us haven't been a murder suspect for it! I would totally go see it as a movie. And I hope there are more "Abby Foote" books to come. Loved it!

Best book ever

This is by far one of my favorites! I read it in one day it was so good!

Loved it

I thoroughly enjoyed the author's voice in this book. It was funny and engaging. The mystery was only a piece of the book for me. I liked the way Abby interacted with her co-workers, friends, and family. If you're looking for a mystery, I'm not sure this is the book I'd recommend. If you're looking for a few laughs, however, this is definitely it.

Best mystery I've read lately!

I absolutely loved this book! It's was really good and I didn't want to put it down. I loved all the characters. I really felt for Abby and her situation, which is being accused and a prime suspect for the attempted murders of two of her exes and a murder of her most recent ex. I'm really looking forward to next next Abby Foote mystery.

amusing amateur tale

As her Foote half-sister Opal points out, being an expert on men since she is engaged, Maine Life columnist Abby always picks losers. One of them, Ted Puck and Mary-Kate Darling have made the wedding announcement section of the paper; Abbey knows the pair as "cheating jerk" and "cheating slut" catching them in her bed making love on her birthday. Her siblings and "Abby Too" wish hell for Puck. The next day Portland Police Department Detectives Benjamin Orr and Frank Fargo question Abby as someone has poisoned Ted. Her family, friends and Maine Life peers assume Abby killed the cheating jerk and is capable of murdering others. Though she knows Ben from when she had a crush on him in high school, Abby fears she will be railroaded so she begins her own inquiries that lead to her tripping over Big Ben as she begins to agree Opal is right that you know everything that matters about a man fifteen minutes into the first date.. Readers will know everything they need to know about charming neurotic Abby Foote in the first fifteen pages while appreciating her escapades as she tries to prove her innocence. This amusing amateur tale displays a wild support cast who suddenly fears this mild mannered reporter has become a lethal Poison Ivy with each of them pondering if they did anything to Abby that will make them the next target. The game's a Foote with Abby on the case, as the audience obtains a delightful romantic mystery. Harriet Klausner
