From the world of the bestselling Lexi Graves Mysteries… furnishing is a handsome squatter with roving eyes. Even worse, Ben Kosina, her predecessor at The Chronicle, has returned to claim his former job, leaving Shayne nothing but the obituary column and a simple choice: take it or leave it.
Her first assignment should be easy: eulogizing the accidental death of washed-up former child-star, Chucky Barnard, and filing her column. Yet when Shayne interviews the people closest to Chucky, his sister claims Chucky had everything to live for, suggesting his untimely death could only be murder.
Convinced this could be the perfect headline to put her life back on track, Shayne vows to find the truth, persuade a reticent homicide detective to investigate, and bring a killer to justice, all before Ben grabs her story and the killer makes Shayne his or her personal deadline.

This enjoyable tale was a little too predictable but very fun!
Quick read
Entirely too predictable… the murderer and the characters. Rather one dimensional over all with strained cleverness.
Funny, can’t wait to read the sequels.
great
Deadlines kept me interested and wanting to read another chapter all the way through.
I have loved all the Chafer books I’ve read.
The characters in this book, Deadlines, are enjoyable and at the end of the story, I was ready to purchase anything and everything this talented author has written. Great style, believable characters that read like friends, plot unravels in an orderly way and yet a few surprises are woven in. Wished it had been a few hundred pages more as I did not want it to end.
Sometimes things happen for reason. Everything changes in Shayne’s life,add in murder and quirky friends, you have an entertaining read ahead of you.
Very quick read with a decent plot
Nice group of characters, good story, fun read.
GOOD TO READ AT THE BEACH
Interesting main character, has a twist at the end. I kept reading to find out what would happen next.
Predictable
Easy to read, interesting plot. Very good for beach reading or sleepless nights.
An interesting mystery but not a true page turner for me.
I could not get with it.
Fun read!
Predictsble
Predictable. I knew the murderer when the character was introduced. The lead character was difficult to like.
Well written
