Book Review: Dying for a Date by Cindy Sample
Dying for a Date

ISBN 1603182489
Trade Paperback
Laurel McKay is hopeful that she will find what she is looking for through The Love Club. Divorced with two children, her life is full with family, a job as a loan underwriter, an overly critical, perfectionist mother, a colorful collection of friends and the occasional intrusion of her ex-husband. She signs up with a local dating service and the fun begins when her dates start dropping like flies. Laurel becomes the prime suspect which leads her to try her hand at some amateur detective work with some hilarious results.  Add one hot sheriff’s detective and you have the makings of a very enjoyable romantic mystery.
The characters are entertaining, the dialogue sharp and their interaction with Laurel makes this reader wish that she could join in the fun. Â Laurel is likeable and for the most part believable, even with the occasional faux pas.
Dying for a Date makes you want to run to the phone to find your own local dating service. If dating could be this much fun, it may not be all that bad after all!

This sounds good! I’m sure I would enjoy it!
I ran across this review and I totally agree–this book is fun. The cover caught my eye and I bought it because it sounded like a good story and I got home and giggled for the next few hours. It’s the funniest book I’ve read all year. I just bought another copy for my sister for Christmas and I might have to buy another one for myself as my mother stole my copy. Yes, we are fighting over this book because now we both loved it and want to give it to all our friends! I hope she writes many, many more! This author’s on my short list of books that I actually buy and want to have around.
