Lacetown Murder Mysteries: Case One
A killer at a small-town literary festival. Bumbling drug dealers. A kidnapped cat. Starting a romance among all this chaos might be the death of them.
Michael Fleishman is excited to meet his favorite mystery writer, Russell Withingham, at Lacetown’s Literary Fest. He is not expecting to cross paths with sexy hairdresser Jasper “Jazz” Dilworth—or become embroiled in a real-life mystery. As Lacetown’s only mortician and the county coroner, Michael is called to his first murder scene and is shocked to recognize the victim—Russell’s young lover.
Jazz only wanted to confront his ex, Russell, over his cheating. Instead, he meets the adorably awkward Michael and becomes a murder suspect. Soon Jazz is teaming up with Michael to clear his name. Along the way, they are helped and hindered by Michael’s sassy assistant, Kitty, the grumpy Sheriff Musgrave, Russell’s creepy PR rep, Norbert, and Michael’s lothario grandfather, who likes his manhattans strong and his women saucy. And of course, Mr. Pickles Furryton the Third....
Michael who is a mortician meets at a book signing Jazz ( Jasper ) who is the local hairdresser , Jazz is the soon to be ( hopefully ) ex husband of Russell Withingham who is the famous author and Michael has many books to be signed by Russell. Mr Pickles is Michael's cat who plays an important part in this mystery.
Before I knew it I had finished this book it was addicting .
I honestly haven't laughed while reading so much for ages .
The characters are sweet and I could just imagine them together enjoying each others company in and out of bed . Their sexual explorations were a pleasure to read. An interesting story line with much drama written well . A great read with characters you will never forget added with catnapping , drug deals and a murder and a relationship happening you have it all.
Both Hank Edwards & Deanna Wadsworth are new to me and although this is my first book it will not be my last.
As this was book one of a new series I happily signed up to read and review. I love murder mysteries, add in romance and two hot men and it is a win/win for me. murder
From the first to the last page I was hooked. Most Lovely was full of steamy scenes, humour, an intriguing mystery which kept me guessing and some swoon worthy romance.
The main heroes of this book are Michael Fleishman and Jasper “Jazz” Dilworth. I really liked the bumbling and slightly awkward Michael and I loved how feisty and caring Jazz was.
The secondary characters were entertaining and overall I found myself easily relating to the characters.
Not the HEA i was expecting but certainly a HFN and I will be interested to see how the series develops.

She has been spinning tales and penning stories since childhood, and her first erotic novella was published in 2010.

When she isn’t writing books or brainstorming with friends, you can find her making people gorgeous in a beauty salon. She loves music and dancing, and can often be seen hanging out on the sandbar in the muddy Maumee River or chilling with her hubby and a cocktail in their basement bar. In between all that fun, Deanna cherishes the quiet times when she can let her wildly active imagination have the full run of her mind. Her fascination with people and the interworkings of their relationships have always inspired her to write romance with spice and love without boundaries.
