About this ebook

Space tourism isn’t dangerous. It’s the passengers.

Psychologist Maddie Swallows had always thought of space tourism as science fiction. That was before the phone call that turned her world upside down and she was hired to work with celebrity passengers as they prepared for their once-in-a-lifetime flight.

It was her dream job. Until six passengers went up into space, and two hours later, only five returned.

If you don’t count the dead body.

Investigating a murder hadn’t been in the job description, but Maddie now needs to use her psychological training to discover who of the remaining five passengers is a murderer.

Before they strike again.

Dead Among Stars is the fourth book of the Maddie Swallows mystery series. If you like confined suspects, humor, and impossible whodunits, you’ll love this cozy mystery.

Ratings and reviews

It's just a 2-hour trip into space. How could a murder happen in such a short amount of time, in such a confined space without anyone seeing who did it? Maddie is on her own to solve the mystery this time but suddenly the kids & her mother show up. Mystery #2: how did they get into the secure center without clearance? At least this time she is not the suspect. It's nice to see the gang again. Grandma is her usual witty, unbelievable self. Loved this one. I received a free copy through Booksprout

Quick, fun read with interesting characters and a great locked room whodunit. This one kept me guessing until the end. I was relieved to see a different crew of space tourists than in the original Amor book, but everything still lined up nicely with that series (which you should read, if you haven't already). Enjoyable series, great author... what are you waiting for?

This cozy mystery has suspense, mystery and murder but it will also give you some moments where you can't help but laugh. You're pulled in and can't stop turning the pages waiting to see what happens next. It's well written and 100% enjoyable. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Kat Bellemore is a small town romance and cozy mystery author. Deciding to have New Mexico as the setting for two of her series was an easy choice, considering its amazing sunsets, blue skies and tasty green chile. That, and she currently lives there with her husband and two cute kids. They hope to one day add a dog to the family, but for now, the native animals of the desert will have to do. Though, Kat wouldn't mind ridding the world of scorpions and centipedes. They're just mean.
