Fiction. Mystery. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:Wollie Shelley, the plucky amateur sleuth Kirkus Reviews called “funny, brave, smart, and altogether the fetchingest crime heroine since the early Stephanie Plum,” returns to face suspect lovers and unlovable suspects in this hilarious sequel to Dating Dead Men.

Wollie Shelley is a greeting card artist struggling to keep afloat financially and to pursue—despite a series of recent disasters—the search for the love of her life. She reluctantly agrees to be a contestant on the reality television show Biological Clock. The show’s premise: Six eligible singles date each other, and the audience votes on which couple would make the best parents. Alas, Wollie isn’t having much luck finding a man she’d like to date “off the air,” much less father her child. As her own biological clock ticks away, Wollie gets caught up in a much more pressing demand on her time. Her friend Annika has vanished into thin air, and Wollie is convinced that she’s in grave danger.

When Wollie reports the disappearance to the Los Angeles Police Department, however, the detective assigned to the case seems more interested in dating Wollie than in finding her friend. So Wollie springs into action—and lands right in the middle of an FBI investigation into an international drug cartel. She soon finds herself being stalked by an assortment of threatening characters, including her fellow television contestants, who will stop at nothing to beat the clock.

With Dating Is Murder, Kozak delivers another sparkling treasure, a laugh-out-loud-funny, literate mystery for readers of Janet Evanovich and Sue Grafton and for Kozak’s own growing legion of fans.

Another fun romp of a whodunnit! ( )

This is the second book with Wolly. The author didn't originally plan to make this a series, but her publisher wanted it. So her boyfriend at the end of the first book, Doc, has left and moved to Japan to be near his ex-wife and their daughter. Wolly is once again participating in a strange project to make money. She is part of a cheap reality show called Biological Clock in which three men and three women date and the audience decides who should have children. They don't actually have to have sex or a child. Through this show, Wolly has made a friend of a young German au-pair also helping on the set. She meets a man who is the opposite of Doc in that he is tall and FBI which is an agency that Wolly's family avoids. Her mother unexpectedly shows up. The fed, Simon, seems to have fallen for Wolly. She finds herself face to face to with a killer and finally realizes who has invented a designer drug and killed a man.

One of the best mysteries I read in 2007. Wollie Shelley, a greeting-card designer who supports her schizophrenic brother, is trying to make money and get health insurance by participating in a reality=tv show involving dating. She's also trying to finish college and so when her math tutor, a German au pair, disappears, she's highly motivated to find her. Hijinks, as well as murders, ensue. Set in LA, and you can tell the author (who was in the movie Parenthood and others) knows whereof she writes. ( )

Wollie Shelly is trying to suppliment her income from designing greeting cards by participating in a reality series called Biological Clock. While working on the series she meets and becomes friends with Annika, an au pair from Germany. When Annika disappears, Wollie can not help but look for her. When she starts getting warnings to mind her own business, she still can not stop. Then when Annika's boyfriend also goes missing, Wollie becomes even more involved. She and her friends try to solve the puzzle and end up causing more trouble than helping.

I enjoyed this book. It is entertaining and I think Kozak's timing is getting better. I can not help but like Wollie, who is so caring about everyone else that she continues to put herself in harms way. ( )

Checked this book out @ the library and read it in a few days. I loved it. It's the sequel to Dating Dead Men by Harley Jane Kozak. I know better then to borrow books from the library because I just end up wanting to keep them. ( )
