I loved this book and can’t wait until it comes out as a movie!!
What a gem! I read this book in one sitting, after having just finished a very hefty one. GOOD SAM had a charming storyline, a handsome love interest, and a very unique premise – who doesn’t love the idea of a mystery that tries to discover who has done something good – instead of something awful? Loved it so much that I downloaded the sequel as …
Romance is a genre I don’t often read, but this one stole my heart. It made me smile, and who doesn’t need a good smile these days. Kate Bradley is television reporter assigned to a feel good story, not her standard fare. She’s known for reporting tragedy, horrific accidents, that sort of thing. She’s a smart character, successful because of her …

Escape from the negative reality around us and lose yourself in a story that will have you smiling at the end. Entertaining and confounding at the same time, this is a most enjoyable read that offers a great deal of food for thought. I predict you will be recommending this to your friends.
Good Sam is a different type of mystery where it’s all about finding the ‘good guy’ instead of a villain. Satisfying and wanting more. Recommend!
This is a lovely book about finding love and learning to trust . I enjoyed the author’s way she chose Kate to be a news reporter and how the story was unfolding throughout the book. Seems that “love at first site” could have been the subtitle to this morning. A really “feel good” book. Characters are well developed and the seating in CA is …
Loved the idea of anonymity while helping others. Sweet book, east read.
“Good Sam” offers insight into the world of news coverage plus some notes
on Politics, with that capital P. There is a very pleasant romance and fun fantasy
built around nice people in need receiving surprise monetary assistance.

This book is amazing! I just love how Dete Meserve wrote about there being good in the world instead of sadness and fear. I could barely tell who had given away the money until the end. A must read!
My Review of Good Sam, A Kate Bradley Mystery Series Book #1 by author Dete Meserve; published by Lake Union Publishing
For lovers of mystery with a touch of light romance, Good Sam, Book #1 in the Kate Bradley Mystery Series, is for you. What a great story! Although this book was originally published in June 2017, I found it a …
Heartwarming, sweet, charismatic characters
What a great story! I absolutely loved the characters, the storyline, and the feel goodness of this book. I’m so excited to now sit and watch the movie. I know Dete Meserve was hands on with the movie, so I know I’ll love it. I’m looking forward to reading the next book, as well as the third which just …
You know how you have an uncertainty when you pick up a book you haven’t read? Will it be exceptional? Will it be a bomb? Will it be just ok? Well, you do not have to feel uncertain about this book at all!! It is artistically written with sensitive characters with whom you share their pain, sorrow, happiness, and fear. I very highly recommend this …
Good Sam has great characters and an interesting plot. There is a mystery the character Kate tries to solve – who is giving out $100,000 to random strangers – and why? It is a good story, and makes you think about how one person can affect change in the world.
Just a feel good mystery you that leaves you smiling for a few days.
I liked this book. I was not expecting the mysterious benefactor to be who it was. Sometimes you need to stop and read a book that puts life in perspective and makes you grateful for what you do
Entertaining premise but predictable
To me it was boring. Might have improved as it went on but I stopped reading
Kate Bradley covers the ‘hard’ news stories for her TV news program. She feels like she is being punished when her boss hands her the Good Samaritan story about someone giving away lots of money to people in need. It’s a good story but maybe it’s beneath her and should be passed on to one of her other co-workers, someone more suited to cover the …
