Wollie Shelley is a greeting card artist struggling to keep afloat financially and to pursue—despite a series of recent disasters—the search for the love of her life. She reluctantly agrees to be a contestant on the reality television show Biological Clock. The show’s premise: six eligible singles date each other, and the audience votes on which couple would make the best parents. Alas, Wollie isn’t having much luck finding a man she’d like to date “off the air,” much less father her child. As the biological clock ticks away, Wollie gets caught up in a much more pressing demand on her time. Her friend Annika has vanished into thin air and Wollie is convinced that she’s in grave danger.

When Wollie reports the disappearance to the Los Angeles Police Department, however, the detective assigned to the case seems more interested in dating Wollie than in finding her friend. So Wollie springs into action—and lands right in the middle of an FBI investigation into an international drug cartel. She soon finds herself being stalked by an assortment of threatening characters, including her fellow television contestants, who will stop at nothing to beat the clock.

With Dating Is Murder, Kozak delivers another sparkling treasure, a laugh-out-loud funny, literate mystery for readers of Janet Evanovich and Sue Grafton, and for Kozak’s own growing legion of fans.©2005 Harley Jane Kozak; (P)2005 Books on Tape, Inc.

Critic reviews

“Kozak has struck gold first time out with a wacky, high-octane plot and characters to match.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Kozak’s debut is a lively, funny romp for fans of lighthearted mysteries.” —Booklist

“Kozak offers more insight and depth than is found in just about any other chick lit offering out there today.” —Washington Post

“Screwball antics reminiscent of ones carried out by author Janet Evanovich’s New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum could dub Wollie the designated ditsy detective of the West Coast.” —USA Today

I have never read this author before and now I am dissapointed to find this is her only book on Audible. The story line kept me interested, the characters were fun, I actually laughed out loud several times. It is refreshing to listen to a book that is void of dirty language.

What a fun book

This was just another really good book. Kozak knows how to write a book that has a wonderful combination of suspense and humor. The job that Bernadette Dunne does as narrator is stupendous. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mystery and humor and some romance. I enjoyed it tremendously.

All around good book!!!

This is a good book but there is just too much going on. I'm also not sure I like the romance aspect between Wolly and Simon. I want Doc and Ruby back. It's worth the credit but I skipped ahead on some parts. The book is still good.

Too much information

I can't imagine complaining about the ending of this book - I loved it! Who wants to read a book that wraps up every little detail anyhow? It is much closer to real life this way. I could see this turning into a great series of stories. Any fan of light hearted detective stories will enjoy it.

A hit!

This was a fun listen. Perhaps a bit slow to start because the beginning was abrupt, but it definitely grew on me. I wish there were more books on audible by the author.

Very Entertaining
