I'd been on a losing streak, trying out kindle books and wondering where all the good ones had gone, when I stumbled upon an Amazon free read I'd downloaded called Stardom Can Be Murder: Charlie Parker Mystery #12.Finally, a book I could get into! I absolutely loved the heroine. From the start, the author put me right into the action. I had to keep reading to learn how plucky Charlie would solve her dilemma.I loved the author's voice, and her deft characterizations of not only Charlie, her husband, and the secondary characters, but also the villains. Yes, I felt the tension, but knew in my heart that somehow the heroine would prevail. Also, it was great fun reading about the foibles of the villains.Another reviewer mentioned reading the preceding Charlie Parker mysteries in order before reading this one. I must admit this was my first Charlie Parker mystery experience, but I had no trouble bonding with the character and understanding what was going on.That said, judging from the outstanding quality of #12 in the series, I may have some catching up to do!Morgan Mandel
