Dating Dead Men

By: Harley Jane Kozak

Narrated by: Deanna Hurst

Los Angeles greeting-card artist Wollie Shelley is dating 40 men in 60 days as research for a radio talk show host's upcoming book. Wollie is meeting plenty of eligible bachelors but not falling in love, not until she stumbles over a dead body en route to Rio Pescado - a state-run mental hospital - and is taken hostage by a charismatic "doctor" who is on the run from the Mob.

Wollie fears that her beloved brother, a paranoid schizophrenic living at Rio Pescado, is involved in the murder, so rather than go to the authorities, she decides to solve the crime on her own. As she meets up with an array of small-time crooks and swaggering mobsters only slightly more sinister than the men she's been dating, Wollie realizes that to find true love she'll first have to avoid getting killed!

What does Deanna Hurst bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

different voices, I think

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both, cry & laugh, laugh out loud!

Good Read

I wasn't sure at first, but before long I was laughing out loud. I got so into the story I couldn't stop listening to go to bed. Thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Love the story, characters, and narrator.

I didn't want to stop listening. I enjoyed the friendships, funny situations, tense frightening moments, and some romance. The saddest part of the story is that it ended and I had to say goodbye to the characters I really liked. A good story.

Another Stephanie Plum

Good light-hearted "read" very similar to Janet Evanovich. While the writing didn't make me laugh out loud as does Evanovich it will make me smirk to myself. I have read several of the books by this author and enjoyed all. Plot is not too deep but has enough twists to keep you scratching your head. Super job done by the reader!!!

loved it!

Loved this narrator! I wish she would have done all four books. definitely love the storyline.
