Death of a Dead Man (Juniper Grove Cozy Mystery Book 1)

If you like cozy mysteries, look no further. Karin Kaufman has written one that is sure to please every fan of the genre. I was guessing until the end! Never did figure out the culprit!

Populated by very nice characters, well, most of them, after all, there are some bad guys, Death of a Dead Man is a great little mystery set in a quite nice little Colorado town that had me wishing I could visit. Highly recommended

* I was given a complimentary copy of this book. My opinion is my own and honest.

I found a new author! I really liked this book and stayed up late at night and finished it. There are great characters in this book, and while they are totally different, they all mesh well. I didn't know who the killer was until the end. I like it when an author states that it is a clean read - no foul language, sex, or gory scenes. A perfect cozy. I wish more authors would do it; it would save me wasting my time having to read through a lot of reviews to find out if it is clean or not. Can't wait to read the next book.

First, it's set in Colorado, yea! Second, this series is the perfect length for me. Over 300 pages I usually find too much filler that does not pertain to the mystery. In this book the characters are fleshed out enough but not too much. The process Rachel Stowe uses to uncover the facts and the perpetrator is easy to follow and interesting. I can't wait to start the second book, Death of a Scavenger.

If you enjoyed Karin Kaufman’s Anna Denning series, you won’t want to miss the Juniper Grove stories. Believe it or not, they’re even better. I fell in love with Juniper Grove, where murder stalks an otherwise Norman Rockwell-ish town, and can’t wait to see what’s next for intrepid author-turned-amateur-sleuth Rachel Stowe. Fortunately, the second book has already been released, so I don’t have to wait! If you’re looking for a cozy mystery to brighten up a gloomy day – or any day, for that matter – don’t miss Death of a Dead Man.

This is a great new cozy series! Rachel is new to Juniper Grove as a mystery writer she didn't image solving a real mystery. I enjoyed all the characters and Holly's sweets made me hungry. I look forward to the next one!

This was an interesting, well written mystery. I don't have time to write much of a review because I am going to go see what these interesting characters are up to in the next book right now! So I guess you could say I really liked this book!!

Death of a Dead Man (Juniper Grove Cozy Mystery Book 1) It is always great to find another good cozy mystery writer-and I'm definitely plugging into Karin Kaufman's series! I appreciate that she keeps it clean and depends on plot and storyline to keep you reading.

This book wass great. It has an amazing group of characters that you wil enjoy reading about them. Rachel, Julia and Holly are a grat mystery solving team. One in her 30's, another in her 40's and a thrid in her 60's. What a group. Great story line.

i enjoyed the way the author enabled the reader to follow the main character's thought process in solving the crime. She provided good character development and a strobg plot line. I can't wait to read more of her books!

Karin Kaufman's newest series "Death of a Dead man".... Juniper Grove is definitely a place I would like to live.
the protagonist Rachael along with her friends Julia and Holly are now the "Juniper Grove Gang", now has been born.Being a mystery writer helps Rachael put her thinking cap to help solve a case...... I am waiting with anticipation for Karin's next book in this series.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes cozy little mystery's.

Thank you for a really interesting mystery with no cursing or sex. It is truly refreshing. A pleasure to read. You wouldn’t believe how many mysteries I’ve had to scrap after becoming hooked on the story because of the two reasons listed above. Very frustrating!

This new series is sure to be another winner for Karin Kaufman! Once again her characters are well written, they draw you in and the mystery behind it all is not what you think it is going to be. Another wonderful series to pick up and enjoy the weekend with!

Good read. A man declared dead turning up really dead on your back lawn besides a big hole is enough to worry anyone. But having a friend suspected of having killed him is enough to make you turn into a sleuth. Why did he come back? What happened when he disappeared? Why does everyone seem intent on driving the police Chief out? Good twists and turns but the real villain wasn't really a surprise. Guessed the identity quite quickly and that's why this has got a 4*. A bit more intrigue would habeas been welcome.

Rachel, a writer, has to solve a puzzle to find out who killed a man she finds dead in her backyard. Julia is her neighbor and she is accused of the murder of her ex, the man in Rachel’s backyard. Julia tells Rachel that her ex was supposed to be dead seven years. The police warn Rachel to stay away from the case, but she wants to help her friend. There is a crooked government and a bad reporter all pushing false information to try to keep Rachel from finding out the truth or to discover the killer’s identity. This is a difficult and interesting mystery with great characters.
