Certain to appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich, Jennifer Crusie, and Katie MacAlister, Elise Sax’s hilarious series debut introduces matchmaker-in-training Gladie Burger, who stumbles into a dangerous quagmire of murder and red-hot romance.  Three months has been Gladie Burger’s limit when it comes to staying in one place. That’s why Gladie is more than a little skeptical when her eccentric Grandma Zelda recruits her to the family’s matchmaking business in the quaint small town of Cannes, California. What’s more, Gladie is also highly unqualified, having a terrible track record with romance. Still, Zelda is convinced that her granddaughter has “the gift.” But when the going gets tough, Gladie wonders if this gift has a return policy.   When Zelda’s neighbor drops dead in his kitchen, Gladie is swept into his bizarre family’s drama. Despite warnings from the (distractingly gorgeous) chief of police to steer clear of his investigation, Gladie is out to prove that her neighbor’s death was murder. It’s not too long before she’s in way over her head—with the hunky police chief, a dysfunctional family full of possible killers, and yet another mysterious and handsome man, whose attentions she’s unable to ignore. Gladie is clearly being pursued—either by true love or by a murderer. Who will catch her first?Praise for An Affair to Dismember   “Elise Sax’s new Matchmaker series is off to a rousing start! . . .

5.0 An Affair to Dismember
This is the first book in the Matchmaker Series by Elise Sax. I was intrigued when I saw the first book, enough so that I was thrilled to be part of the Bewitching Book Tour for Matchpoint, the second book in the series. This gave me the push to move An Affair to Dismember to the top of my TBR pil...

2.0 An Affair to Dismember (Matchmaker)
This story was a bit all over the place and tried way too hard to be cutesy funny. It never really succeeded either. The whole thing tried to be "Plum "funny and got lost in a mess. And why do all these types of books have to have a "triangle"? I am so over that worn out gimmick!

3.0 An Affair to Dismember (Matchmaker #1)
I'm not sure about this book - it was a mash up of sorts. The writing felt disjointed and the story not very tightly woven at all. The whole matchmaking-third-eye premise of getting Gladie back home is never really explained very well - is this gift supposed to be of a psychic sort? There are hint...

4.0 An Affair to Dismember
Full review available at Tempting ReadsThe cover led me to believe this would be a romance with a little dash of mystery. Instead, it was the other way around: mystery with romantic elements. It did remind me a great deal of the early Stephanie Plum novels except this heroine doesn't have as many ...
