Description

"Fans of laugh-out-loud romantic suspense will enjoy this new author as she joins the ranks of Janet Evanovich, Katie MacAllister, and Jennifer Crusie."Booklist, on An Affair to Dismember

"Elise Sax will win your heart."New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis

My name's Gladie Burger, and my Grandma Zelda says that I have "The Gift." That means that I'm going to be a great matchmaker, and it probably means that I can know things that can't be known.

Just like my grandma.

She knows who should be matched with who, and she also knows what the weather's going to be weeks in advance. Some people call that a Third Eye. Some people call it psychic. Some people call it weird.

I'm betting Grandma is wrong. The only "gift" I've had in my life is not being able to hold down a job. I might have a commitment problem.

But I'm helping her out in the matchmaking business, anyway. So far, I haven't made a match, and now after our neighbor across the street fell, hit his head, and died, I can't stop thinking that maybe his death was no accident.

Maybe it was murder.

I may have commitment issues, but I seem totally committed to finding out if he was murdered and who murdered him.

The annoying Chief of Police—who unfortunately turns my insides into molten estrogen jelly—thinks I should be committed for sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong.

Luckily, another neighbor is just as hot as the Chief, and he's more than happy to support my sleuthing. Ditto my best friends Bridget and Lucy.

It's a toss-up if I'll solve this mystery, get killed in the process, get arrested, or find true love.

An Affair to Dismember is the first book in the Matchmaker Mysteries series. It is a humorous and romantic small-town mystery. Matchmaker Mysteries…Sometimes love comes with a few dead ends.

    Gladys Burger returns to her hometown to apprentice with her grandmother, a professional matchmaker. She doesn’t feel she has a knack for matchmaking, but she inadvertently becomes a poster girl for the local police. Then her neighbors in the rundown house across the street pull her into the intrigue of the family patriarch’s life and allegedly accidental death. Between playing amateur sleuth, her apprenticeship, and an abundance of suitors, her mind races after answers that lead her into danger. But who is a danger to her? Knowing she was a matchmaker, I expected Gladie’s life to have some romance. I didn’t expect the comedy though. The people in her small town seem prone to danger which while it bends believability also leads to laughter.

    I’ve read some of the authors other series, but the main character in this one really irritated me. How many stupid decisions can one person make? Too unbelievable to enjoy.
