Overview

Twentysomething Cauley MacKinnon is dying to escape the obituary beat and become a real reporter for the Austin Sentinel. Her best chance at a front-page scoop disappeared when she got too close to a case and almost got killed. Cauley also managed to fall for the smoking-hot FBI agent assigned to protect her.

When Special Agent Tom Logan shows up asking for a fake obituary to make a key trial witness "disappear," Cauley jumps at the chance to help. After all, she's still watching his dog Marlowe–although maybe it's the other way around.

Overview

Twentysomething Cauley MacKinnon is dying to escape the obituary beat and become a real reporter for the Austin Sentinel. Her best chance at a front-page scoop disappeared when she got too close to a case and almost got killed. Cauley also managed to fall for the smoking-hot FBI agent assigned to protect her.

When Special Agent Tom Logan shows up asking for a fake obituary to make a key trial witness "disappear," Cauley jumps at the chance to help. After all, she's still watching his dog Marlowe–although maybe it's the other way around.

Caught in the crossfire on the courthouse steps, Cauley sees the murder of the man whose death she already helped fake. Now someone is making it clear that they don't want Cauley getting any closer to the case–unless she wants to wind up on the obituary page herself.

Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews
A sassy obit writer smart-mouths her way into trouble. Hiking up her lucky skirt, Cauley MacKinnon (Scoop, 2006, etc.) agrees to help out her boyfriend, FBI agent Tom Logan, by writing a fake obituary for Wiley Ray Puckett in order to keep him under the gangland radar until he testifies against Selena Obregon, leader of El Patron, the miscreants hassling Austin, Texas. Despite her efforts, Wiley is found and murdered, and a dead canary left in Cauley's mailbox. Through a series of improbable occurrences, the intrepid reporter and her search-and-rescue pooch Marlowe next become involved with the search for Wiley's sister Faith, who may be on the lam or may have been abducted or worse. Hiking up her skirt another notch, Cauley defies sleazy sheriff Junior Hollis, a law officer who spent his youth shooting cats, obsessing over Faith and distrusting Faith's rich half-brother, who may have had a hand in setting fire to Wiley's trailer, then Faith's, and nearly incinerating a Faith look-alike. When things slow down, Logan calls in to sizzle Cauley's nerve endings. When things heat up, he's there to save the day. Gratingly cute, with a wisecrack or metaphor in every other sentence and a good-looking guy in every chapter.

    Terrific!

    Wonderful follow-up to Scoop. I love the characters ... would love to see another one to follow this. There were a couple of references to Logan's previous partner. I'd like to see something about that ...and of course, I'd love to see what happens with the terrorist attack cat.

    A reviewer

    Twentyish Cauley ¿The Obituary Babe¿ MacKinnon wants to make it as a highly respected reporter. She feels being an obit writer is stuck in the muddy ooze underneath the lowest rung of the journalistic food chain ladder. When her sometimes boyfriend FBI hunk, that is agent Tom Logan, asks her for a favor besides sharing the sheets, she agrees to help him on a witness protection case as long as he provides her with the SCOOP. He wants her to write and print a fake obituary for Wiley Ray Puckett Tom wants to keep him safe until he testifies against the El Patron gang leader Selena Obregon. However, Wiley is murdered anyway and a dead canary left by Cauley as a warning to back off or her obit will be next. With her faithful companion at her side 'that is Marlowe the dog not Tom the rat who told her to back off' Cauley, being a typical sweetened tea Texan searches for Wiley¿s missing sister Faith. --- Though the coincidence meter is way beyond the top metric of plausibility 'then again this is in the Austin area', chick lit investigative readers will enjoy Cauley¿s latest escapades to obtain a scoop so she can escape the dead letter office hopefully without her own obit written. The zany story line is fun to read if the audience ignores the doses of luck 'more than the sugar her mom puts in the tea' that leads Cauley one heel at a time on her inquiry. Tom is always there at the right moment whether that is for some kissing or for some rescuing, sub-genre fans will laugh with the antics of the heroine of this lighthearted mystery. --- Harriet Klausner

    Good Read

    I've read Dead Copy and its predecessor Scoop. I enjoyed both books. They were easy reads, with an intriquing sleuth story and with a somewhat humorous tone. I am looking forward to the 3rd installment.

    Wonderful characters, but...

    I liked this book and esp. the characters, but what is with all the run-on sentences?? I got frustrated because of this, but liked the plot and characters so much I tried to let it go. I don't know whether to blame the author or whoever should be proof-reading for grammar errors! I have noticed grammar errors in some other noon books, so I am hoping it isn't this author.

    Great story, but...

    Dead Copy was a great story, and that was all that kept me reading. Despite the numerous nicely turned phrases that peppered the chapters, Frazier desperately--desperately!--needs a copy editor. I was distracted by the run-on sentences and other mistakes. Only the fact that I liked the characters and the story kept me going. I'd love to read more about Cauley, but I'm not sure I can get past the mistakes in another volume.

    Enjoyable

    If you liked Scoop, then you will like Dead Copy. However, if you have not read Scoop, please do so first. I enjoyed the story, and now wish I was a dog person so I could have a dog like Marlowe. As others mentioned, I would enjoy seeing the relationship between Cauley and Tom progress. There is also a future between Faith and Ethan, I hope! And Mia deserves some romance of her own. :)

    The conversion to ebook is a little rough. Lots of missing punctuation, so sometimes you have to read a sentence two or three times to really understand what the author meant. In general, there were lots of those types of issues. Paragraph split in half, occaisionally not sure when dialogue has ended due to missing quotation marks, lots of missing comma's... But once you got used to that, it was enjoyable.
