Was totally drawn to this book by the premise alone. Romance and murder? Sign me up.
Loved our MMCs Rav and Jack and the idea of a detective (Rav) falling for one of his suspects (Jack). Especially when the suspect is famous. But, I think this was a case of it's me and not you.
I would call He's to Die For more of a cozy mystery. And the few cozy mysteries I've read have never really appealed to me. They are all enjoyable, but also forgettable. I liked the whole cast of characters and thought the writing flowed well. It was smart, witty and funny, but I really wished we had more romance along with the murder mystery. I think that would've pushed the story more in the direction that would've kept my attention and committed. As I listened to the audio, I really liked Sid Sagar and the fact that he could do so many accents and do them well. It was all about Rav for me.
I think Erin Dunn is an author to look out for and I appreciated the fact that we got some MM romance with the murder mystery (that honestly felt a little ho hum). I just think a better balance of the two would've brought more oomph to the overall story.
