I love this series. I love the writing, the main character, everything about it.Each book gets better and better.I would highly, highly recommend this series.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.The fourth in the Jamie Quinn series is a departure from the previous three in length only. While the others could be considered novellas this is definitely much longer. A little of Jamie Quinn was enjoyable and happily more of Jamie was more so. The group of friends that surrounded her in our introduction to her are all back and you quickly feel as though you returned to a familiar place . Jamie ope [...]

Great bookJamie is in up to her ears. Can she help her neighbor, keep her best friend, keep her boyfriend and survive a high case divorce. Read books one through three before this one as they set the stage for the Jamie Quinn story.

Review to follow soon but highly recommended for fans of cozy murder mysteries!

I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is the fourth installment in the Jamie Quinn Mysteries. I have read the previous three and so when I was gifted this book I was happy to read and review. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series and I have to say this installment did not disappointed. Ms. Venkataraman has written a main character that I find to be very likable and can relate to both on a personal and professional level. In addition to Jamie, the series has a cas [...]

Another fast, fun read. This time Jamie reluctantly agrees to represent a woman in her divorce from a notorious attorney with so many loose strings no one will represent his wife. She runs into a hoard of bad doers, has her boyfriend Kip go to Australia for six months, and splits with her best friend. I won't go any further into the plot because of spoilers but can tell you it is chick lit at its best. Thanks to the author for an ARC for an honest review.

This book was just as good as the first three- maybe even a little better! Maybe because I'm getting to know more about the characters with each book. Well written and not a lot of typos like some other ebooks. Highly recommended.

I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.Whenever I review a book like this I like to mention that I am a middle aged man.

I chose to listen to this book after receiving a free copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.I have listened to several of Barbara Venkataraman’s books including the Jamie Quinn mysteries. I like her sense of humor and enjoy listening to her books. Engaged in Danger was no exception although the narrator seemed to be really concentrating to get the different voices right, so she ended up just reading the story. The voices were easy to differentiate [...]

Dollycas’s ThoughtsI reviewed the first 3 books in this series back in July. Engaged in Danger picks up where we left off and packs another huge punch. The other three were basically novellas that could be read together for 3 mysteries in the length of a regular novel. While we did get to know the characters, this one comes in at 242 pages and gives the author more time to let the plot develop and for us readers to become more wrapped up in the drama.Nan Glasser wants a divorce and every law o [...]
