Review to follow
I agree wholeheartedly with ttg's review. Yes, Meg Perry's writing is quite simplistic and sometimes I feel Jamie is listing the activities he is doing rather describing ... but I also became very comfortable with this.I like that Jamie is rational and he is not one person who challenges authority o...
The mystery/sleuthing part was nice and interesting to read (little tiny point for pedantics like me: There is no "university of Bavaria". Bavaria is a federal state in the republic of Germany, with Munich as capital. The university in Munich, my alma mater, as it happens, is called "Ludwigs-Maximil...
I am a bit disappointed in Pete, I don't see so clearly why he is always said to be such a catch. The mystery part was fine and it was a fairly quick and entertaining read. It touched on some of the heavy stuff again - seems this will be a "theme" in this series. I like Jamie a lot. His voice,...
The main character and 1st Person POV really work out beautifully for me. Jamie is a very likable guy.

And I loved it more than the previous two books.In book 2, Hoarded to Death, readers found out that Pete (Jam...

But then, they discover a dead body in there!Another lovely low-key mystery -- I think I might call it 'coz...
A very enjoyable continuation of the Jamie Brodie Mysteries. (Burdened to Death is #3, following #1, Cited to Death and #2, Hoarded to Death.) I don’t know if I’m getting more used to Perry’s writing style, or if Perry is getting more used to her writing style, or what not, but I enjoyed this inst...

In this one, intrepid UCLA reference librarian Jamie and his stalwart bf Pete are asked to assist Jamie's ex-sister-in-law to clean up her hoarded apartment for a TV program. Of course, because this is a mystery, there is MURDER amongst the mounds o...
