About this ebook

When newspaper columnist Monroe Donovan receives an obituary listing a future date as the date of death, she blows it off as an error. But after a second one comes in, she senses something more is at play. Her suspicions are confirmed when a victim sharing the name of the ‘deceased’ is found murdered—on the predicted date.

Detective Lane Brody sees Monroe as a suspect, accusing her of hiding a connection to the latest victim, while Monroe can't deny the attraction between herself and the unhappily married Detective.

In her quest for the truth, Monroe stumbles into the clutches of the killer, and she can only hope Detective Brody stops suspecting her and starts looking for her—before her name is the next to appear in the obits.

Ratings and reviews

A suspenseful drama, Death Notice has a light brush of romance over a detective story where the victims keep on popping up in Monroe's Obituary Column. Having been jilted for a Barbie look-alike, Monroe no longer has tender feelings for Adam, but he can still make her life miserable. Detective Brody brings a new element into Monroe's life, but being part of his investigation makes it difficult for them to pursue the attraction that flows between them. After all, he is already married. The story is well written and suspenseful. However, I did find the back and forth between the characters in the book a little confusing, especially as it usually happened mid-chapter. The book does, however, end on a positive note leaving the way forward to a sequel. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

Received free from ebook Discovery in exchange for an honest review. Well developed characters and story line. Can't wait to read the next one.
