MURDER IS A GIRLS
BEST FRIEND

December 1954 in Manhattan is a trip down memory lane and Amanda Matetsky captures the ambience of the era to perfection. The heroines friend Abby makes a perfect crime-solving partner and some of their adventures are funny. Readers will thoroughly enjoy Murder Is a Girls Best Friend because of Paige, Abby, and 1950s New York.

Midwest Book Reviews

This book is a great example of fun fiction that uses much of the style of film noir... Paige is a clever, interesting heroine whos well-balanced by her Bohemian artist neighbor, Abby. This is an excellent book to read in any venue because it immediately transports the reader to New York in 1954.

The Best Reviews

Praise for
MURDERERS PREFER BLONDES

A beautifully realized evocation of time and place; 1950s
New York City comes alive for those of us who were there
and even those who werent. Amanda Matetsky has created
a very funny and interesting female protagonist, Paige
Turner, and put her in the repressed and male-dominated
year of 1954, which works like a charm. This is more than
a murder mystery; this is great writing by a fresh talent.

Nelson DeMille, author of Night Fall

Prepare to be utterly charmed by the irrepressible Paige
Turner, and take an enchanting trip back in time to New
York City, circa 1954... A thoroughly fun read.

Dorothy Cannell, author of The Importance of Being Ernestine

Amanda Matetsky has created a wonderfully sassy character in the unfortunately named Paige Turner. In her 1950s world where gals are peachy and cigarettes dangle from the lips of every private dick, a busty platinum blonde finds herself at the wrong end of a rope and Paige is on the case of a swell whodunit, sweetheart. Delightfully nostalgic and gripping. Irresistible.

Sarah Strohmeyer, author of Bubbles All the Way

A great idea well-executedfunny, fast, and suspenseful.

Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition

Murderers Prefer Blondes is a gas; full of vivid characters and so sharp in its depiction of the fifties when you read it youll feel like youre sipping champagne in the Copacabana.

Betsy Thornton, author of Dead for the Winter

Paige Turner is the liveliest, most charming detective to emerge in crime fiction in a long time. She is the product of her time and placeNew York in the fiftieswith a little Betty Boop and a little Brenda Starr in her makeup, but she is also her own woman, funny, smart, energetic, brave, hard-working, and determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. She is irresistible, a force of nature.

Ann Waldron, author of A Rare Murder in Princeton

Matetsky adeptly captures the atmosphere of the 1950s, and her charactersespecially Paige and her friend Abbyare a delight. This journey back to a time that now seems innocent is refreshing.

Romantic Times

A fun new mystery series... a real page-turner.

BookBrowser

A fast-paced, smart debut with a feisty heroine that entertains and keeps readers eagerly turning Paiges.
