Historia
Merry Knight is pretty busy these days. She's taking care of her family, baking cookies, decorating for the holidays, and hoping to stay out of the crosshairs of her stressed and by-the-book boss at the consulting firm where she temps. Her own social life is the last thing she has in mind, much less a man. Without her knowledge, Merry's well-meaning mom and brother create an online dating profile for her - minus her photo - and the matches start rolling in. Initially, Merry is incredulous, but she reluctantly decides to give it a whirl.

Started off good, but....
Revisado: 01-26-19
The beginning of this story held promise, but it gradually deteriorated and became very disappointing. Part of the problem is that neither of the main characters is particularly likable so it was hard to care about either one. And the other problem is that the plot was completely unbelievable. That an inexperienced lawyer, paired with a rookie assistant, would be solely in charge of an investigation and defense, even in a preliminary hearing, is just too unrealistic, even for fiction. And their investigations and manipulations bordered on the ridiculous. I cannot recommend this book, even if it were available for free.

I am a true fan of this series - I own them all and have listened to all of them more than once, especially when reality becomes a little too real and I need an escape. The books are fun and clever, Grover Gardner is outstanding, and of course Tara is adorable. Please keep 'em comin', Mr. Rosenfelt! #clever #FeelGood #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Annoying Herione
Revisado: 08-24-18
The story itself isn't bad - a bit far fetched but not bad escapism. But the main character is incredibly obnoxious and annoying, so much so that it I found myself hoping some misfortune would befall her. I understand the author's wanting to make her into a more "trendy" character, but I think the author confuses rudeness with strength of character. .

I have enjoyed the entire Andy Carpenter series and have listened to each one at least twice. Grover Gardner is an outstanding narrator and really brings the books to life. Please keep 'em coming, Me. Rosenfelt!

Bavaria, 1776. When Albrecht Dürer the Much Much Younger's frog prints go missing, he knows exactly where to turn for help. Gretel (yes, that Gretel), now 35 and still living with her gluttonous brother Hans, is the country's most famous private investigator, and she leaps at the opportunity to travel to cosmopolitan Nuremberg to take on the case. But amid the hubbub of the city's annual sausage festival, Gretel struggles to find any clues that point toward the elusive thief.

An enjoyable series BUT...
Revisado: 08-14-16
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I wish there were fewer character stereotypes. For example, her continual portrayal of Americans as rude and obnoxious is getting old.
Would you recommend Crowned and Dangerous to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes. This is generally an enjoyable and entertaining series. It's a good choice when you want to put your brain on vacation.

I enjoyed this book very much. It's a traditional whodunnit with likable characters and an interesting plot, as well as several subplots. I thought the narrator did a fine job differentiating the characters and I'm really looking forward to the next installment.
