Blind Dates Can Be Murder (A Smart Chick Mystery)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Blind dates give everyone the shivers…with or without a murder attached to them. Jo Tulip is a sassy single woman full of household hints and handy advice for every situation. Her first romantic outing in months is a blind date-okay, the Hall of Fame of Awful Blind Dates-but things go from bad to worse when the date drops dead and Jo finds herself smack in the middle of a murder investigation. With the help of her best friend, Danny, and faith in God, Jo attempts to solve one exciting mystery while facing another: Why is love always so complicated?
From the Author
Blind Dates Can Be Murder was a bit of a departure for me, in more ways than one. Juggling four distinct points of view, the book is almost as much a suspense novel as it is a mystery. Poor Jo can't seem to get her love life right, but things go from bad to worse when a blind date turns up dead. As she struggles to make sense of the death, she's faced with some startling revelations from her friend Danny-revelations that force her to look deep inside her own heart. To put it simply: Between the mystery and the romance, this is one wild ride! "Whenever I finish the first draft of a book, I never know how well I've pulled it off. It takes time-and feedback-to figure out how well my intentions translated to the page. In this case, the story was so complex and the characters so real to me, I just wasn't sure if the story worked. The day after I finished the rough draft, I handed it to my husband (my first editor and toughest critic) and went off to an all-day seminar at my church. That night, I was afraid to come home, afraid he might hate it or have torn it to pieces with his little red pen. I parked in the driveway and took a deep breath, ready to come inside. You can imagine my surprise and delight when I reached the front porch only to see that he had taken the chalkboard out of the kitchen, propped it beside the door, and had written in giant letters ‘I LOVE IT!' ...I hope you will too."
