Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Kozak has written a
finely calibrated story about a cheerfully seedy section of Los Angeles with
characters of all ages—all very human and real…While there are many laugh-out
loud moments in this novel, they come from sources other than a wisecracking heroine:
gently goofy comments inspired by the personalities of likable characters;
plot-specific, situational humor; and wry social observations that will appeal
to both men and women.” —Washington Post
“Kozak has struck
gold first time out with a wacky, high-octane plot and characters to match.” —Publishers Weekly
“There’s never a dull
moment in this rollicking caper, an exuberant, fun-filled roller-coaster ride
worthy of Stephanie Plum.” —Library Journal
“Lots of action, quirky characters, an engaging new sleuth who designs greeting cards, and a ferret named Margaret—what more could any reader want? Dating Dead Men is a superb debut.” —Valerie Wolzien, author of A Fashionable Murder
“Wollie Shelley, Kozak’s entrepreneur extraordinaire, manages to deal with a murder, the Mafia, an appealing but mysterious love interest, and a killer who wants to see her dead, all with originality and humor.” —Lee Harris, author of Murder in Hell’s Kitchen
“Harley Jane Kozak fashions a doozy of a debut, starring cars, cads, clothes, and an L.A. gone hilariously mad.” —Mary Daheim, author of The Alpine Pursuit
“Dating Dead Men is a page-turning romp alive with fresh, quirky characters and inventive situations that left me anxious for another date with Wollie Shelley, provided author Harley Jane Kozak is amenable next time around to a man who’s still breathing.” —Robert S. Levinson, author of Hot Paint and The John Lennon Affair
