One Death at a Time

Author: Abbi Waxman

Genre: Mystery

Rating: ★★★★★

Abbi Waxman’s One Death at a Time is proof that you don’t have to be a dedicated mystery reader to have a blast with a whodunit—especially when Waxman is the one writing it. I’m not typically a mystery person, but I’m absolutely an Abbi Waxman reader, and I’m so glad I didn’t skip this one. Mason lands in AA and crosses paths with Julia Mann, a former actress who seems to have an almost professional talent for getting arrested for murder, and from there it becomes a Hollywood-flavored “what on earth is happening?” ride. True to Waxman’s signature, the cast is eclectic and lovable, the humor is sharp, and the whole thing feels like a warm, witty caper with a body count—I loved every minute of it.
