Mattie Winston Mysteries

review 1: Mattie in her third mystery really has to trust her gut feelings. I could so feel her pain as she compares herself to Steven's former girlfriend, petite and oh-so-pretty. Ladies, we need to own who we are--actually, very awesome individuals. And Mattie is at her most awesome here. I am putting off reading the 4th in this great series in case Annelise decides not to write a fifth. Please keep on writing, Ms. Ryan! Your fans (and Mattie's) await!
review 2: “You’ll Be Frozen To The Pages”Mattie Winston’s life is never a boring one. She has had stints as an ER and OR Nurse and now works as a Deputy Coroner in the sleepy town of Sorenson, Wisconsin under the direction of County Medical Examiner Izzy Rybarceski; who is also her good friend, neighbor, and, sin... morece her separation from philandering husband, David, her landlord. Mattie’s “day to day” is complicated enough, but when the body of the stunning Chicago TV News Investigative reporter, Callie Dunkirk turns up frozen and tossed like trash on a snowy rural roadside. Mattie digs her heels into the case, much to crusty, rotund Homicide Detective, Bob Richmond’s dismay. Mattie is disappointed also, as she had hoped to work closely…VERY CLOSELY, with the hunky and handsome Homicide Detective, Steve Hurley; with whom she had shared a couple of kisses with fervent hopes of more. Meanwhile, to add to her heart’s confusion, David wants to reconcile. Mattie is sure she wants no part of it, although something inside keeps telling her she might still have feelings for him. Evidence starts to pile up and point in an unexpected and upsetting direction. Or is this to lead Mattie astray? Could any of this be true? Mattie uses all of her investigative tactics and instincts and squelches her conscience while trying to make sense of the information she uncovers. Where do convict Quinton Dilles, Atty. Connor Smith and the suave but slimy, Mike Ackerman fit into all of this? Or do they? Perhaps she’s just overstressed and overtired and not looking at things clearly? Ms. Ryan has woven an intriguing volume full of “A-Ha” and “Gasp” moments with a sprinkling of chuckles, especially where Mattie’s hypochondriac Mother and her dog; “Hoover” (Yes, aptly named for the vacuum cleaner-type canine he is) are concerned. Just when you believe you have this tale of murder, and intrigue figured out—Ms. Ryan whisks you down another avenue. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did and am looking forward to more of Mattie’s adventures. Nancy Narma less
