I have enjoyed the other series by this author and have read the previous books in this series. This one did not let me down. It was a good solid read with a good solid main character. I like that the main character is a bit older but still feisty. She is intelligent but refuses to step back and play games for others' egos. I haven't been to this part of New York state and would like to see more descriptions of the town included. I like how she is a proofreader/editor, but that means the author really can' make any mistakes! This is one where I watch out for the next book.

This is the 3rd installment of the Deadly Edits mystery series. Mikki Lincoln is a freelance book editor and an old resort on the edge of town in about to be demolished. She has been hired to edit a book, a memoir, by a relative of the original owners the resort comes into focus again. The land developer Greg Onslow on the project confronts Mikki and asks her to stop the project and things get heated and someone of course tapes the whole thing. When he later ends up dead, Mikki becomes a prime suspect as the video goes viral. Mikki of course is going to work to clear her name as she has no plan to spend her retirement in jail! Mikki is an atypical heroine as she is much older and really takes no prisoners. This is a good mystery and enjoyable read.

Enjoyable read. I enjoy the town and the characters. i like that Mikki is an older amateur sleuth. The mystery kept me guessing. I like the tips at the back of the book.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of A FATAL FICTION (Deadly Edits Book 3) by Kaitlyn Dunnett in exchange for an honest review. Mikki Lincoln’s job as a freelance editor has, once again, thrown her life into hyperbole. Greg Onslow, entrepreneur and land developer, to publicly confronts Mikki with accusations of sabotage and demands that she stop the publication of her current project. During the clash, Onslow lays hands on Mikki; this results in Mikki losing control and exhibiting some regrettable behavior of her own. When Onslow is slain shortly after the public row, Mikki comes under scrutiny, which is disturbing. However, as it turns out, poor judgment may be a family trait, and Mikki isn’t the only one under review. Mikki doesn’t want to retire to the clink, but she also doesn’t want her relative’s future redacted. Mikki must assist law enforcement in reaching a proper conclusion.

I enjoyed this book and liked the series. I recommend the book to fans of the series. I recommend the series to fans of Kaitlyn Dunnett and to fans of cozy mysteries featuring murder, senior sleuths, returning home, book editing, home renovation, old friends, and local happenings.

Mikki Lincoln gets into a heated discussion with a local entrepreneur and loses her temper. We’ve all been there, but when the man turns up dead and a video of their altercation starts to go viral, Mikki becomes the prime suspect. Knowing the man was unscrupulous in his business dealings and had caused many people to lose money investing with him, there are a slew of other suspects…and Mikki is going to do her best to provide the police with the true murderer, even if it’s the last thing she does.

Who doesn’t love a kick ass grammarphile septugenarian? Mikki Lincoln is all that and a bag of chips! She is blunt and to the point, always grammatically correct, and find herself in the midst of chaos and yet manages to sift through the clues and separate fact from fiction. I enjoy this series as well as her LIss MacCrimmon series. You can’t go wrong with a book from Kaitlyn Dunnet.
