Playing with Poison by Cindy
Blackburn is the first book in the Cue Ball Mysteries series. The main character, Jessica Hewitt, is a
romance writer by the name of Adele Nightingale. She is sitting at home working on her latest
novel when her neighbor (Candy Poppe!)’s
boyfriend shows up at her door and proceeds to die on her couch. When the lead homicide detective seems to be
considering Jessie a suspect, she decides that she needs to find the real
killer in order to clear her name.
The dialogue is witty and
sharp. The characters are interesting
and different. And, the mystery is
surprisingly well-written and keeps the reader guessing. I will be looking for more in this series
when I have need of a cozy or even, just when I need something different from
my usual fare of thrillers and mysteries.Rating: 3.5 stars
