My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Gale Martin is an American, award winning author, and this is my first time to read any Gale Martin authored book. Before reading the book, WHO KILLED 'TOM JONES'? , I had no idea that Gale Martin is such a brilliant author, from her style of penning down a love-story with a mystery to unveiling that mystery and the whole drama that goes in and out around the mystery is so stirring as well as remarkable, that you'll be wanting to read this book not once, but twice, thrice and so on!
Synopsis:
Ellie Overton, a 28year old woman, working as a receptionist in a retirement home, has a huge crush on the pop-singer, Tom Jones. In order to spark-up her love-life, Ellie attends the local Tom Jones festival to find prospects for herself. But on the second day of the festival, one of the Tom Jones look-like contestant gets murdered, and unfortunately, the man named, Evan, whom she has started liking happen to be one of the suspects and the handsome police detective, Mary Levy, jumps into the scene to solve the mystery, but it seems he is more drawn to Ellie. So will Ellie and the residents of the retirement home b able to solve this murder mystery?
OMG! WHO KILLED 'TOM JONES' is terribly funny, I'm going "ROFL" over this book. Do read this book to catch the humor and hilarious moments and dialogues. The characters also add up to the wittiness of this book. And when the old residents get involved in footsteps of Sherlock Holmes, things get messy, chaotic and very, very funny. Ellie is sweet and witty and her chemistry with the residents of the retirement home is very interesting. The chemistry between the detective and Ellie is quite rocking and passionate and lights up the whole book! The author's grip over her funny and witty characters is quite evident with the way she had portrayed them in her book. After every page, the mystery got thicker and thicker and bloody intriguing, that I lost myself into the mist of mystery and LOL moments! The author's eloquent words make the story pretty compelling and with that fast pace, the book is surely going to grip you from its very beginning.
Verdict: Don't miss this romantic story amidst of so much mystery!!
