What do a CPA Tax Accountant, A Doctor and A Insurance Underwriter have in common. Why the Love Club, of course.

Laurel McKay, 39, is a recently divorced mother of two looking to get back into the dating scene. Unsure of how to go about it she is talked into joining The Love Club. Her first date is with Garrett Lindstrom, a handsome, self absorbed and successful CPA. Following an altercation with her date where she escapes his persistant wandering hands Lindstrom is found dead inside his car outside his home. Date two is Jeremy Slater, a rich well-liked doctor. They are at an expensive restaurant for dinner when Jeremy goes to answer a page and never returns. He is later pulled from the river outside the restaurant battered and bruised.

With date three coming up and convinced the Sheriff’s department is not looking for anyone other than herself as a possible suspect, Laurel and her friends set out to track down the real killer much to th consternation of the investigative team Tom Hunter, who makes Laurel’s heart go pitter-patter and Bradford who has decided Laurel is suspect number one.

Dying For A Date is a fast paced cozy murder mystery by Cindy Sample that grabs you from the first and draws you in till the last page. Full of twist and turns and delightfully quirky characters. Once I began the book I resented any interuption that kept me from reading more about the sassy heroine, Laurel McKay. You too will laugh with her as she struggles to juggle a job, home life, two active kids, a social life and now an investigation to prove she is not the murderer. Thank you Miss Sample for the laughs and the joy from this must read book.
