Kat Jorgensen is on tour with Your Eight O'Clock is Dead at CLP Blog Tours. Becca Reynolds doesn't have a good start to her morning when she is late for work, ruins patient files with the oil from biscuit breakfast, and oh yes - finds a dead client in the waiting room. Becca works as an office manager (not really, but she think it sounds better than "gopher" or "door mat," at a struggling psychiatrists office, and the murder only makes things worse for business. Becca, in danger of losing her only income, decides to take on the murder case herself. While trying to figure out whodunit, Becca gets tied up with a sexy accountant (or is he?) and mixed up with the Russian mob. Can Becca crack the case before the killer sets their sights on her?I thought Your Eight O'Clock is Dead was a super cute cozy mystery. Light-hearted, humorous, but still with action. Becca was a fun heroine, though sometimes a bit too ditzy - for example - how many times she corrected her inner thoughts and dialogue about calling patients "clients." I loved the grandfather and his many list of rules, and even the tuxedo cat who seemed to steal the show for me. Overall, a cute mystery that I would recommend to chick lit fans!
