Robyn5 Stars Out Of 5October 6, 2009RobynOne of my new favorite authors! A passionate, love story, but full of humor too. I literally laughed out loud more than once while reading this book... Can't wait to see what is next from Ms. Burney!

Barbara5 Stars Out Of 5June 14, 2008Barbara5 Stars!! Absolutely brilliant! I went through so many emotions while reading this book: laughter, sadness, anger, joy, compassion. (Now that's when you know you got something good when you experience all kinds of emotions!)I often caught myself laughing out loud even while in public places. That's right! This book was like an American Express card. I did not leave home without it! Then again, I finished reading it in 3 days. It took that long only because little incidentals like sleep and work got in the way! I absolutely loved it and even got a little upset when I realized that I was coming to the end of the book. Thanks for providing a little "taste" of what's to come in Book #3. I even called to see when the sequel would be available. What in the world is a Sugar Glider.

Michelle SuttonArizonaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5May 12, 2008Michelle SuttonArizonaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleThe storyline was complex and well-thought-out. She had me really going there. The sugar glider just took the cake. I loved every scene and chapter. The usual tension between hero and heroine was present, but this time it culminated.The author is a master at the "think of the worst thing that could happen, and make it happen" concept. Man, she had my head turning so often I got whiplash! I have to say, though, that more than once I wanted to slap Bell for messing with Jazz's head. Then again, I totally understood her "issues" that prevented her from accepting love from anyone, and her doubting something that seemed too good to be true. I was with Bell all the way and felt her confusion as well.Being a social worker and having done counseling with many hurting people for years, I have to say that the author had the criminal psychology portion of the story perfected. The insight into Kate's messed-up past was flawless. Either the author did a lot of research, or she is really gifted with wisdom and insight into human character and dysfunction. Every scene was highly believable and amazing. Tension building all the way, but with interjected humor so hilarious that I laughed out loud more than once! Great way to keep the story moving along. Also, the sensual humor totally captivated me. Not to overuse the term, but that was also hilarious, and very honest, IMHO.The biggest thrill in this story came when I figured out who killed Kate, and I WAS SO RIGHT! The author left just enough clues to point in the direction of the killer, but did so very slowly, and with absolute perfection. Death, Deceit, and Some Smooth Jazz is masterful writing and highly entertaining. The takeaway value of this story is what made me love it so much. Plus, the mystery was compelling and complex. Man, the details involved in the plot were plentiful and so well-done it had me reeling. But I loved every minute of it.
