Madison Avenue Shoot by Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain
5.0
lighthearted mysterious relaxing medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: N/A
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Another great read from Bain, who is a master of keeping these wonderful characters in character. This one tugs at your heart because of Frank's involvement and I found myself smiling at Jessica's interactions with him. I'm not even a big fan of kids, really, but this was still cute.

Plus, Jessica truly understands my writer's soul haha

"Writers get lonely. Writing is a lonely profession."

I never thought of it that way but goddamn if it ain't true.

"I call it the Fletcherita." "Is that related to the margherita?" "4th cousin once removed."

I laughed far too hard at this comment lmao The humor in this book was so lovely and it was truly a relaxing, cozy experience.

"Any idiot could have learned those lines by now."

Hi, yeah, idiot here 🙋🏻‍♀️ I promise you it would have taken far longer than a week for me to learn those lines. I really didn't like this character, she was such a jerk. Like, I get the profession is stressful but screaming at a 9 year old boy? For something he didn't even do?

Girl needs therapy. Or maybe a new hobby.
