Publisher's summary

Lovably troublesome Gladie Burger runs into sizzling danger and a fiery love triangle in the second installment of Elise Sax's hilarious and sexy Matchmaker Mysteries series.

Since joining the family matchmaking business run by her eccentric and psychic Grandma Zelda, Gladie is always looking for love. But when an unbearable toothache knocks her out of commission and into the dentist's chair, she prays only for relief. No such luck.

Emerging from an anesthetic haze, Gladie awakes to find that not only is her tooth still throbbing, but her dentist is dead - and the lead suspect in the murder, office receptionist Belinda, just so happens to be Gladie's first real client. Now it's up to Gladie to find Belinda a man and keep her from being locked up behind bars.

As if that weren't enough distraction, two gorgeous men are vying for Gladie's attention: Spencer, the playboy chief of police, and Holden, Gladie's secretive, gorgeously muscled neighbor. Still, Gladie's not complaining about having a helping hand or two when the case leads her to a dangerously bizarre cult. She may have met her match - and if she's not careful, it could be her last.

This is the re-release of Matchpoint. It is the same book with a new title and cover.

Good but...

I liked the book but Gladie got on my nerves by making stupid decisions. I'll still get the next book. Hopefully, Gladie will grow up at some point.

Fun Story

I enjoyed this better than the second. It took a bit to get used to the new narrator but she was good, better than the first in my opinion.

Love it

It’s hilariously funny, and have some laugh out loud moments. I personally think fans of the series, will love this one.

I really tried

I love the story...I really do. I got through the first one with the absolute worst narrator and moved on to this one since there was a new narrator only to find out that there was an even WORSE narrator. I gave up about an hour in when the character with the southern accent made her entrance and the narrator made her sound like a bad Hee Haw imitation. Enough already. Do authors/producers not understand that a reader makes/breaks a book - an entire series, even?

Fun, games and murder

Another Sax/Hickman success. Very entertaining and lots of twists and turns.

Storytelling and performance are both excellent.

AWFUL NARRATION!!!

I was so excited to find this series after reading “An Affair to Dismember”. So funny and narrator was very good. I have just started on “Citizen Pain” and am not sure I’ll be able to finish the book. The new narrator must think this is a children’s book. Everyone sounds like a child! Even the male voices. In the opening scene, I thought the main character was having a flashback to her childhood. She also makes everything sound like it’s meant to be an inside joke. I am so disappointed in this change of narrators and just hope to get through the book. In addition, this narrator, Angie Hickman, is narrating the next 2 books as well. Argh!

A wasted credit

I enjoyed the first one enough to purchase this one. This was a wasted credit. It’s a hodgepodge storyline that does not work. The added vulgarity is distasteful.
