Deadly Edits #1
Crime and Punctuation
After splurging to buy her childhood home in the Catskills, recently widowed Mikki Lincoln emerges from retirement as a freelance editor. With her ability to spot details that others fail to see, it's not long before Mikki earns clients--and realizes that the village of Lenape Hollow isn't the thriving tourist destination it was decades ago. Not with a murderer on the loose . . .
When perky novice writer Tiffany Scott knocks at her door holding a towering manuscript, Mikki expects another debut novel plagued by typos and sloppy prose. Instead, she finds a murder mystery ripped from the headlines of Lenape Hollow's not-too-distant past. The opening scene is a graphic page-turner, but it sends a real chill down Mikki's spine after the young author turns up dead just like the victim in her story . . .
Mikki refuses to believe that Tiffany's death was accidental, and suspicions of foul play solidify as she uncovers a strange inconsistency in the manuscript and a possible motive in the notes. Then there's Tiffany's grandmother and husband, who aren't exactly on friendly terms over the local area's planned rejuvenation efforts . . .
Unable to convince police that they are focused on the wrong suspect, Mikki must rely on her keen eyes to catch the truth hidden in Lenape Hollow. As she gets closer to cracking the case, only one person takes Mikki's investigation seriously--the cunning killer who will do anything to make this chapter of her life come to a very abrupt ending . . .

Crime & Punctuation by Kaitlyn Dunnett is the first book in the new cozy Deadly Edits mystery series. The main character in this series is Mikki Lincoln who is in her sixties and starting over in her life after her husband’s passing.
Mikki and her husband had lived in a remote area taking care of their land themselves for years but after losing her husband Mikki felt it was time to find an easier place to spend her retirement years. As if it were fate at the very time she began to feel out her options Mikki ran across an ad for her old childhood home in the Catskills being for sale and bought it sight unseen.
Now after the move Mikki finds the house she left over forty years ago needs a little more work than she ever could have imagined on her retirement funds so Mikki starts a side business as a freelance editor. With a website up and running Tiffany Scott finds Mikki and requests her services for her manuscript. After negotiating terms Mikki sets to work but before she knows it a policeman is at her door informing her of Tiffany’s death. What at first looks like an accident Mikki thinks may be more after reading what Tiffany had written in her book.
Having once read another cozy by Kaitlyn Dunnett and really enjoying it I have been meaning to read more of her work so when seeing a brand new series I knew this was a must try. Imagine my excitement when easily becoming engaged and really enjoying this book. Full of all of those little quirky cozy things I love I flew right through the pages of Crime & Punctuation.
What really won me over with this one was the fact not only the lead seemed realistic but those around her and her frisky feline. While Mikki is an older character she still had plenty of energy to investigate but nothing over the top that she didn’t also feel her age and her cat, Cal, had a few incidents that cat loves will probably relate to. The mystery unraveled at a nice pace with plenty of suspicion to go around so in the end I’d definitely recommend checking out this new series.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

What first drew me to try this new cozy series was the front cover to this book. I love the book spine motif! Cozy mysteries always have interesting covers, but this is one of the best I have seen in a long time! Once I started reading, I also fell in love with the characters. Great start to a cozy series!
Mikki Lincoln is 68 years old. She lives in a 3-story home with her calico cat, Calpurnia. Cal for short. After buying back her childhood home in the Catskills, Mikki's retirement budget is stretched a bit too thin for comfort. So, she starts working as a freelance editor. Editing manuscripts will not only keep food on the table for her and the pampered cat, but also help pay for the renovations to the 110-year old house. When her newest client, Tiffany Scott, is murdered, Mikki discovers similarities to Tiffany's manuscript and an actual past crime. She decides to conduct her own investigation when local police start focusing on the wrong suspect. Mikki discovers that amateur sleuthing can be quite dangerous. Will she crack the case before the killer cracks her?
I love the characters in this book! Mikki is older but feisty, incredibly intelligent and observant. She joins forces with several other seniors she went to school with back in the day. The supporting cast is just as quirky and lovable as Mikki. The story is a fun mix of humor and sleuthing. The plot moved along at a nice pace, with a good number of suspects, twists and surprises. The ending caught me a bit by surprise, but it was perfect. Great story-telling!
Kaitlyn Dunnett is a pseudonym of author Kathy Lynn Emerson. As Kaitlyn she writes the Liss MacCrimmon mysteries as well as this new Deadly Edits cozy series. I will definitely be reading more by this author!

Dollycas’s Thoughts
Mikki London was a school teacher, she retired and then her husband passed away. To fill the time and make some money to help with her home renovation she becomes a freelance editor. She makes most of her contacts online so she is surprised when Tiffany Scott shows up at her home with a 500-page manuscript. She gets another surprise when she looks over the first few pages and is drawn in by both the story and the lack of grammatical errors. The story is a little graphic for her taste but is intrigued by its local theme.
When the young author dies 3 days later, just like the victim in the story Mikki immediately suspects foul play but it has been ruled accidental, maybe even a suicide. She tries to work with the police but gets nowhere. Then Tiffany’s grandmother is arrested, accused of killing her granddaughter. Again, Mikki tries to convince the police they have arrested the wrong person. Unfortunately only the killer is paying attention. Mikki may be joining her husband in the great beyond much sooner than planned.
I am sure Mikki London would cringe at all the typos and grammatical errors I make every day on this blog. I don’t do it on purpose. I always received good grades in English but I have forgotten so much of what my teachers tried to cram into my brain. I like that Mikki is an older protagonist, complete with hearing aids, something new for me in a cozy. She is taking great strides to carry on her life without her husband. Buying and renovating her childhood home is a huge undertaking. She hires help for the things she can’t do and takes on the projects she can complete, mindful that it is going to take time to get everything just right. She is also a reluctant sleuth. When she finds what she thinks must be a key piece of evidence she is not sure how to handle it but quickly finds herself digging for answers.
There is a character a lot like me, Darlene � challenged by our body’s betrayal. Mine due to an auto accident, her due to crippling arthritis. She doesn’t let it slow her down, electric scooter, walker, wheelchair, she gets to where she wants to go. She deals with a scary moment and my heart was breaking for her. She handled it just like I would have, thankfully her friend Mikki had her back. Together they make an amazing team.
The other characters in the story were well developed as well. I also enjoyed that Mikki has a feline companion, Calpurnia.
I found the mystery to be very interesting with a limited number of suspects. The pages were turning at a speedy pace. I followed along with the twists and turns, solved the mystery and reached the end. Surprised I had read the entire book in one sitting.
I really like Mikki and Darlene. I am hoping to visit them again soon.

Crime and Punctuation by Kaitlyn Dunnett is the first novel in A Deadly Edits Mystery series. Mikki Lincoln has moved to Lenape Hollow, New York and purchased a beautiful one hundred ten year old home that used to be in her family. However, it is in desperate need of repairs and Mikki needs to find a way to finance them. Mikki utilizes her strengths of English and grammar to become a freelance editor and calls her business Write Right Wright. One day Tiffany Scott arrives on Mikki’s doorstep clutching an envelope to her chest. Tiffany has written a 1930s mystery that is based on real life gangland killings. Three days later, Mikki is visited by Detective Hazlett who informs her that Tiffany has passed away. While the police do not suspect foul play at this time, Mikki believes it is too coincidental and decides to do a little probing. Mikki learns that Tiffany’s husband has been buying up land to build a theme park. Many people are against the proposed venture including Tiffany’s grandmother, Ronnie North (who is also Mikki’s high school nemesis). After three people inquire if Tiffany left anything with her, Mikki takes a further look at the manuscript. What did Tiffany uncover while researching the material for her novel? Someone is not happy with Mikki’s sleuthing and attempts to shut her down. Can Mikki find the killer or will she end up the next victim?
Crime and Punctuation has a unique premise with an older main character who has a freelance editing business. I like that Mikki has retired, uprooted her life and starting a new business venture. She is sixty-eight years old with no intention of sitting around her house twiddling her thumbs. I did find Mikki, though, to be slightly lackluster. The author failed to bring her fully to life (at least for me). Her home, though, sounds charming and I like that she is bringing the old beauty back to life. The town was a disappointment. We are introduced to some of the people who live in the area, but most of the shops are deserted (courtesy of Greg Onslow, Tiffany’s hubby). The small-town charm and coziness was missing for me (one of the things I love about cozy mysteries). The mystery was medium level. The author did provide some misdirection to throw readers off the scent of the real culprit. However, I found it too easy to identify the killer and figure out why the crime was committed. The pacing was slow and I was happy when it picked up in the last quarter of the book as we get closer to catching the killer (more action). There is a repetition of information along with speculation that seemed to be filler (I wanted more substance). There are grammar tips and explanations interspersed throughout the story (Oxford comma and difference between further and farther for example). I missed the humor and ease that is present in Kaitlyn Dunnett’s A Liss MacCrimmon Mystery series. I am rating Crime and Punctuation 3 out of 5 stars.

Crime & Punctuation by Kaitlyn Dunnett is the first book in the new cozy series: Deadly Edits. I had read other books by this author and enjoyed them, so between that and the wonderful cover, I could not resist. I am glad that I did. I enjoyed this book and look forward the next in this series.
Mikki Lincoln is 68 years old and a recent widow. She lives with her cat Calpurnia, Cal for short. After buying back her childhood home in the Catskills, which needed a lot of work, Mikki's retirement budget is stretched a bit too thin for comfort. Being a retired English teacher, she begins her own business working as a freelance editor. Tiffany Scott, her newest client leaves her manuscript with Mikki and is found dead a few days later. What initially looks like an accident, after reading what Tiffany had written in her book, Mikki thinks it may be a murder. She decides to conduct her own investigation when the local police start focusing on the wrong suspect.
I love the characters in this book! Mikki is a retired, senior citizen, but feisty, incredibly intelligent and observant. She rekindles relationships with several others she went to school with back in the day. Darlene becomes her partner in crime. She has crippling arthritis, but doesn’t let it slow her down. Using an electric scooter, walker, and wheelchair, she gets to where she wants to go. Together they make an amazing team. The rest of the supporting cast is just as quirky and lovable as Mikki. I love Calpurnia; she had a few situations that cat lovers will both smile and gasp at. The story is a fun mix of humor and sleuthing. The plot moved along at a nice pace, with a few suspects and some surprises. The ending was wonderful, I never suspected the killer until just before the final reveal. This is a great beginning to this series and I recommend it to any cozy mystery lover. The publisher, Kensington Publishing Corporation, generously provided me with a copy of this book upon my request. The rating, opinions and ideas shared are my own.

Man oh man, I wanted to love this one!
A lady editor up in the Catskills area, working on editing a book and trying to solve a crime? Sign me up!
Except ... I found the descriptions to be tedious. Maybe that's just me, since I'm familiar with the Catskills and didn't need so much to be explained. I'll bet a quarter of the book could have been edited out and I'd have been happier.
I also found the mystery part to be ... lacking. I had an idea of who it was about halfway through, not because I put two and two together lol, but because I felt this person was being written about excessively! They didn't seem important enough at the time, and I figured s/he would be important later. Ding ding ding! I waswrite right!
As a person in the editing field, I was very excited about a mystery series that I could relate to (minus the murder part). I was honestly let down by this one and it's really up in the air whether or not I'd continue with the series.

Crime And Punctuation is the first book in the Deadly Edits Mystery series.
Mikki Lincoln, 68 and recently widowed, has sold her home in Maine and has moved back to her childhood town of Lenape Hollow, NY and was able to purchase the home she grew up in. Unfortunately, the house needs extensive repairs so she resumes her former career and starts an editing business, primarily via the internet. One day, a Tiffany Scott, showed up at her door and asks Mikki is she would be willing to edit her manuscript. Mikki quickly reads the first three chapters and is impressed with the quality of writing agrees to take on the project.
Three days later Detective Hazlett calls on Mikki and informs her that Tiffany Scott’s lifeless body has been found and on her person was Mikki’s business card and he want to know what dealing she might have had with Tiffany. After explaining her connection with Tiffany, Hazlett informs her that her death is being treated as murder.
Later that day Mikki goes to visit a childhood friend, Darlene Uberman, to learn more about Tiffany. Mikki learns that Tiffany is the granddaughter of her high school nemesis, “Ronnie� Rappaport and was married to one of the richest men in town, Greg Onslow. Onslow owns Mongaup Valley Ventures. She also learns that Onslow has been using heavy-handed methods to get businesses to sell their stores to MVV. Onslow’s dream is to develop the land around Chestnut Lake into a Disneyland like park. She also learns that Tiffany has reportedly made out a will favoring her grandmother with her stake in MVV. Ronnie Rappaport and Tiffany are supposedly against the development of Chestnut Lake.
Once Mikki gets into Tiffany’s manuscript she feels that very possibly someone didn’t want to see it published, but first, she has to learn who might have the most to lose.
I really enjoyed this book a lot. It was a well-plotted and told story that kept me turning the pages to see where the story would take me next. I also thought the characters were all interesting and well developed and will be looking forward to learning more about them.
I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this new series.

An excellent start to an exciting new series.

I just love this spunky and savvy senior sleuth! Her name is Mikki Lincoln and at age 68, she wasn't about to take lip from anyone. Mikki was renovating her childhood home and working as a freelance editor when a new client came in who later turned up drowned in the nearby lake. The client's rich husband was one that Mikki personally wanted to see go down for the crime due to his questionable business practices and his plans to construct a new theme park in the town of Lenape Hollow, NY. With her trusty sidekick Darlene, Mikki set about trying to make sense of a file she had from her client while hopefully narrowing down the fairly wide suspect pool. Even some of their childhood friends became suspects in their minds. I hadn't quite guessed the killer or maybe I just wanted a different one, who knows lol. The showdown was really cool. Let's just say that having a friend like Darlene with a scooter came in very handy.
I liked how everything was well-wrapped up, but the ending did leave readers hoping that the side issue at hand will get resolved in the next book. I loved the way that seniors were depicted as the smart people that they are, because Mikki definitely knew her way around technology, Darlene too--if they didn't, they simply learned it. I have an ARC of the next book, and I'm getting anxious to dig in!

I love a good cozy crime novel, but this rubbed the wrong way. Old lady amateur detectives are my favourite, but the protagonist here is no Miss Marple. Thing is, the concept had such promise, a copyeditor recieves a manuscript of a client who ends up murdered, and there are clues in the manuscript! Brilliant! BUT it just didn't follow through. The characterisations got in the way. The moralising of the main character, solving the crime while constantly making sly moral judgements on other characters was distracting and completely unecessary. The fact that the writer/narrator felt the need to point out that she did not share the same qualities she saw as flaws as the other characters took away from the story. The main character had never been divorced, had never gambled, had dinner on the table every evening right as her husband came home from work, etc etc.
The main character's best friend, Darlene, was the best written and should have been the main character. The librarian with the research skills makes a much better heroine, and is probably just as "qualified" as a retired language arts teacher to edit manuscripts for content and continuity. Honestly, being a language arts teacher might make her capable of doing copyediting, but not the other services.
Next book should be Darlene as the herione. Mikki just doesn't cut it.

Crime and Punctuation by Kaitlyn Dunnet is a new cozy series set in the Catskills and featuring a sweet and older protagonist than what is usually found in cozy mysteries today. I liked Mikki and applauded her move to start life anew after her husband died by returning to her childhood home.
The story began slowly setting up the small town and the characters and finally picked up the pace about 30% into the book. Ms. Dunnet's descriptive writing made Lenape Hollow come to life as the book opened. The police rule the victim's death as accidental but Mikki refuses to believe that and begins her own investigation. There were some twists, very few suspects and only Mikki's belief that the death was actually a murder. An interesting afternoon read that can keep a reader entertained.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Kensington via NetGalley. My personal ratings is 3 1/2 stars. All of the above opinions are my own.

I had the amazing opportunity to be a guest host on The Cozy Mystery Book Club and this was the pick for the month of February. I loved it. One of my new favorite cozy mysteries! The sleuth is a 68 year old woman who returns to her hometown after her husband passes and literally moves back into her childhood home (sometimes you have to return home to start over again, Literally!. She starts working as a freelance book editor and one of her first clients is this aspiring mystery writer named Tiffany who is murdered shortly after. So good! I freaking loved Mikki, our main character. Loved sleuthing with someone who isn’t in the typical age range we see and see how naturally it felt. I love that reminder of regardless of what season you’re in, in life..you never know when you’ll be starting over. It’s never too late.

Don't bother reading this book if you're under the age of 35. This is yet another book with a nosy older cat lady living in a small town who not only stumbles across a mystery, but conveniently is the only one with enough gumption to solve it.
While Mikki has her moments of tech savvy, she spends most of the book lamenting about the good old days. I was most annoyed with the scene where she gets gas, and shares that she has difficulty inserting her credit card correctly into the machine, and has to have someone else pump her gas for her. The plot is fairly transparent; as Mikki's friends and acquaintances come and go, it becomes quite obvious which individual(s) is/are guilty of the crime.

A fun mystery with a not-spring-chicken heroine. I loved the grammar discussions.

Mikki Lincoln is a widow in her late sixties who decides to move back to her childhood home and needs to earn money to finish her remodeling. She decided to use her expertise as a retired English teacher to start her own editing business. It is through this business that she finds herself involved in real-life murder mystery. I found it difficult to become immersed in this story. I felt like it was a little slow- moving and it was very easy for me to predict the outcome. I also had a hard time finding any of the characters to be very likable. Even Mikki's closest friend, Darlene, seemed standoffish at times. I wanted to like this one but it fell short for me.

Whoever thought that being an editor could be hazardous to your life? Time consuming, occasionally frustrating, and with the inability to shut off that little voice that causes you to explain to harried civil service workers that they need a comma or apostrophe, or take note of the Oxford comma. Such is the new life of Mikki (Michelle) Lincoln, returning to her childhood home (and town) after the death of her husband left her at loose ends. Her high school reunion notice provided the perfect opportunity, and when her childhood home was for sale � she jumped at the chance, sight unseen. Of course, in the intervening half-century, the town has changed, and the house has aged � and mounting repair bills mean this retired English teacher has to find work, and find it fast, if she doesn’t want to be bankrupted by a money pit.
After biting the bullet and getting her business started � a knock at the door brings a client � a first for her (and most editors), with an historic mystery suspense, loosely based on a series of mob-style killings. The author is a young girl from the small New York town, married well, and granddaughter of Mikki’s nemesis from school. The early chapters were promising, and Mikki takes on the client � setting a meeting with her the following week. Not many days later, the local police arrive at Mikki’s, her business card in an evidence baggie, it’s obvious that the card was soaking wet � laundered perhaps? But no, the young author is dead, and the fun now begins.
I adored Mikki � at 60-something, she’s still dealing with the loss of her husband and her tendency to isolate herself because, (as she says) as an only child she was both self-sufficient and comfortable finding her own amusement. Coming back isn’t all bad, however, her best friend Darlene, has some ‘background� information that piques Mikki’s curiosity, a proposed development of an amusement park to draw tourists, a rather curious series of main street businesses being bought out or closed, and plenty of threats from break-ins to warnings, being chased by a truck, and her ever-constant curiosity, as well as some ‘townie� knowledge that would evade most incomers, Mikki has plenty to think on, and no real acceptance for her questions. Several twists, turns and plenty of potential suspects kept me wondering, right along with Mikki, and the final reveal at the end was perfection. Coming home was never so full of adventure!
I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

This is the first in a cozy-ish mystery series featuring a widowed retired school teacher who has moved back to her childhood home and taken up moonlighting as an editor to pay her bills. Her first client is the granddaughter of her high-school nemesis, and they barely have a chance to start a business relationship before the young woman is found dead.
Could the reason why be left in the manuscript she left behind?
I enjoyed the protagonist's rants about punctuation and grammar. She probably would have chided the narrator of this audiobook for mispronouncing a word (I definitely chuckled). There was definitely enough material left for a sequel, although it seemed a tiny bit forced, but I will be picking it up.
4 out of 5 stars.

Crime & Punctuation by Kaitlyn Dunnett is the 1st book in Deadly Edits mystery series, and it's off to a good start. Mikki Lincoln is a widow, who comes out of retirement to earn money for house repairs. When a young lady, Tiffany, brings her a manuscript to edit then turns up dead, and Mikki is determined to find out why. This book is a fun read, with intelligent older women. I found this book to be a quick read, with well developed plot and characters. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. If you love cozy mysteries like I do, than I recommend this book.
I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I didn't love this book, but I didn't hate this book. It was just an okay, kind of meh book for me. It did make me realize why I had stopped reading her other series though; I am just not a huge fan of her writing and how she sets up the murder and reveal.
The murder happens a little later than normal in this book [usually it is in the first or second chapter and I think it was chapter 7 that it is revealed] and by the 10th chapter I knew who the killer was and by the 20th chapter, I knew the why. I still had 25 chapters to go. So, it did make for an extra long book for me.
I have to read the next one because I got it from NetGalley, but I can honestly say I am not looking forward to it. I am really glad I didn't pay for this one.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It's a really good beginning to a series filled with promise of some really good cozy reads. I was keen to read book 2 ... BUT ... its pricing looks odd. On Amazon.com.au the eBook is priced at AUD$28.99 ... WHAT! I can't justify that expense for a, not very long, eBook; I'd certainly pay it for a paperback. I've written to the publisher, Kensington Cozies, to ask if the pricing is a mistake. Is this an indication of what is to come, in pricing, for readers? I hope not! Anyway, Book 1 is excellent and if you can afford the ongoing books in the series, go for it. The characters are good, the setting is excellent, the back story makes you smile, and the plotting is perfect. I'm so disappointed that I can't continue the series at the over inflated price. (As a comparison Elly Griffiths' latest eBook is $16 compared to Kaitlyn Dunnett's Book 2 of Deadly Edits at $28.99. Billshock!)

Readers of Kaitlyn Dunnett's first Deadly Edits cozy mystery may learn quite a few helpful tips about proper English usage, but they're also going to read an engaging story featuring a main character they're going to love. Mikki Lincoln is sixty-eight years old, wears hearing aids, and knows all about the Oxford comma. Until his death, Mikki's husband was the center of her world, but now Calpurnia the cat is the only other living soul in the childhood home that she's busy fixing up. Mikki realizes that she has to relearn how to make friends, but she has already found one: Darlene, a former head librarian who had to take early retirement due to her crippling arthritis. Her mobility has been affected so much that she gets around on a combination of walker, electric scooter, and wheelchair.
Mikki and Darlene prove that you don't have to be perky, toned, hunk-on-the-brain twentysomethings to solve crimes, and that's good news for many readers amongst us. Both of them are intelligent, honest, and filled with common sense. (I also love Darlene's way with her electric scooter.)
I have to admit that learning the differences between copyediting, line editing, and developmental editing was fascinating, and so was the fact that the author brought in the area's ties to Murder, Inc. as part of the mystery. Actually, the only thing I didn't like about this delightful book is the fact that Dunnett seemed to telegraph the identity of the killer. But... with so many other things-- and characters-- to enjoy, it really didn't matter all that much. In fact, I'm looking forward to my next visit with Mikki and Darlene. (Never underestimate the power of two "old" women!)

Recently widowed, Mikki Lincoln leaves Maine behind and returns to New York to purchase her childhood home. To pay the bills, she decides to become an editor for hire, and her career starts off with a jolt when her first client, young Tiffany Scott, is found dead with Mikki's business card in her pocket. There's quite a bit going on behind the scenes in Lenape Hollow, and Mikki's inquisitiveness puts her life in danger more than once as she tries to discover what really happened to Tiffany. Was the story she'd left in Mikki's care the reason for her untimely death, was it a horrible accident, or could it even have been suicide? Very nicely crafted, and the ending definitely leaves the door open for future installments. Crime & Punctuation is a lovely start to Kaitlynn Dunnett's new Deadly Edits series, and I hope there will be many more books to enjoy!

Crime & Punctuation is the first in the series. I read this out of order so I already met some of the characters and was able to eliminate them as suspects right away, however I still enjoyed the read and getting the background on Mikki and her introduction to the town. In the first in this series, Mikki is trying to get her editing business off the ground and is happy to sign a local client, happy that is until the client ends up dead with Mikki’s business card on her person. This leads to a murder investigation and finds Mikki tangling with some unsavory characters as she tries to find out what happened to her client. The current murder has connections to old time gangster murders and there seems to be quite a few possible suspects at large. Quick cozy read with a fun grammar theme.

Overall this was a fairly strong start to a new series. The plot itself was good, although the mystery was fairly easy to figure out. I found the pacing to be a little odd at first, but it improved as the story went on.

3.5 stars. Didn’t really hold my attention but because i can listen to the series i will most likely listen to the next one. Hopefully it’s better than the first!

Very solid 3 1/2. It was based in Sullivan County, NY, which was really fun (and might be why I liked it so much). I will be looking for the next in the series.

Crime & Punctuation is the debut novel in Kaitlyn Dunnett’s Deadly Edits series. Ms. Dunnett has written an entertaining mystery with a great cast of characters. The book starts out slow paced, but picks up about a third of the way through. The characters are well developed and there are some and twists and turns to keep the reader guessing about the villain’s identity.
Sixty-eight-year-old Michelle ‘Mikki� Lincoln, a retired English teacher and recently widowed, decides it’s time to make a change in her life, so she buys her one-hundred-and-ten-year old family home in Lenape Hollow, New York, which she hasn’t seen since she was seventeen. She packs up her possessions, her seven-year-old Calico named Cal (short for Calpurnia), and moves from Maine to the Catskills only to find the house in desperate need of repair. She realizes the repairs and renovations will quickly eat through her retirement income and decides to be a freelance editor. Tiffany Scott, the wife of Gregory Onslow and the granddaughter of Ronnie North, Mikki’s high school nemesis, shows up at her door unannounced with a manuscript in hand. The first few pages are better than Mikki thought they would be and agrees to edit Tiffany’s book. Shortly after taking Tiffany on as a client, Detective Hazlett shows up on Mikki’s doorstep, wanting to know why Tiffany had Mikki’s business card. After explaining their relationship, Mikki learns that Tiffany has passed away. The cause of death is drowning and the police say it was either a suicide or accidental, but Mikki refuses to believe that and begins her own investigation with the help of her good friend, Darlene Uberman. She learns Tiffany’s death was similar to one portrayed in her book, that her husband was trying to revitalize the area by opening Wonderful World, a Disney-like theme park, which Tiffany and Ronnie opposed, and in a new will, she left her shares in her husband’s company to her grandmother. Ronnie calls Mikki and Gregory’s menacing assistant visits her, both wanting to know if Tiffany left anything other than the manuscript with her and demanding its return. Mikki’s house is broken into and searched and she’s being followed and harassed.

I enjoyed reading this book. This is the first in the series which means a lot of the time means the characters are not as complex to allow for future character development, however, the characters are pretty well developed. The main protagonist, Mikki, is older than the typical cozy main character. She is intelligent, interesting, and relatable. The secondary characters are interesting and some are a bit quirky at times. The mystery is well plotted with plenty of red herrings along the way to the big reveal. I am looking forward to reading more in this series.

Series: A Deadly Edits Mystery - Book 1
Author: Kaitlyn Dunnett
Genre: Cozy Mystery/Book/Editor
Publisher: Kensington Books
Page Count: 304
Coming out May 28th from Kensington Books is a new Kaitlyn Dunnett cozy series “A Deadly Edits Mystery� book one, Crime & Punctuation. This is a very enjoyable book which has the potential to be a new fan favorite cozy series.
Mikki isn’t your average amateur sleuth, but she is a character that readers can get behind. Mikki isn’t young, she is retired and a widow. She spends her days talking to her cat, Cal and renovating her childhood home. She never thought she would find herself starting over at her age. The death of her husband uproots her life. She finds that she needs to separate herself from the memories of their life together. What better place to do that than where she grew up?
Friends she played with and went through school with are still around, as is the girl from school she never got along with and bullied her throughout high school and before. You would think that childish nonsense would be above them at their age but apparently, old rivalries and insecurities never really end.
Characters in this book give the reader a warm feeling. Most of them are likable. Some characters are exactly what they are meant to be, antagonists, with a need to upset the happiness of those around them, forcing them to do and say things they really shouldn’t. The victim is sympathetic with the illusion of innocence. Readers will find that they really want to see justice done and the killer caught. Suspects are plentiful, each with a motive that is plausible. When the killer is exposed it comes as no surprise. The murderers motive seems irrational and yet, credible. In a world where people are killed every day for petty, illogical reasons the motive isn’t all that crazy.
Crime & Punctuation is easy to read, fast-paced, with twists and turns that will have readers happy and confused at the same time. You will fall in love with Mikki and cheer for her success. It is easy to sympathize with her plight, her fears, and her need to make things right. I am happy to recommend this skillfully crafted, pleasurable book and cozy series.
