“Fans of laugh-out-loud romantic suspense will enjoy this new author as she joins the ranks of Janet Evanovich, Katie MacAllister, and Jennifer Crusie.”—Booklist, on An Affair to Dismember
“Elise Sax will win your heart.”—New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis
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 … than a little skeptical when her Grandma Zelda—who is more than a little psychic– recruits her into 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 her clairvoyant “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?

Clever and funny
I would recommend this book I thought it was great.
First in a series featuring a somewhat accident-prone matchmaker. Gladie and grandma Zelda’s hijinks in solving a murder and helping others find love will put a smile on your face.
Quite unrealistic but a good quick read.
I was bored.
I just loved this book. It was so much fun to read and the fact she has 2 suitors is so cute. The main character of the book is just so funny and always getting herself into situations that are hilarious. If you want a fun whodunnit book to read this is the one to read. It is not at all gruesome. I can’t wait to go on to book 2
I simply loved the characters and found them true to life.
The style of writing was easy to get into.
All in all a good read!
Not very interesting
This was weird and I didn’t enjoy it at all.
Throughly entertaining. I’ve read two in the series and I’ll look out for the others.
Too flighty. Read about 20% then realized I didn’t care enough about the characters to finish it.
I want the whole series!!!!
it is a cute fun read.
I read the first of this series when I received it for free but quickly fell in love with these characters and over the course of a week or so managed to purchase and read the whole series. Love Elise Sax and her series of books. I have begun her Goodnight series already with ,of course a free #1 Die Noon. I’m sure I will be purchasing the rest of that series before long.
Great beach read! Easy and funny!
I love the irreverent wit of Elise Sax’s writing. It observations of women and the way they think is spot on! Her plot lines are unusual and are not easy to figure out. Enjoyable reading!
I had never heard of this author but I ended up buying the next 5 books in this series. Really fun to read.
This was an entertaining book, a quick read, and quite funny. No explicit sex, very little foul language.
Enjoyed reading this one. It is “Stephanie Plum”seque! Laughed out loud a few times.
Likeable characters.
Made me laugh out loud
