Summary: A clever caper of whodunit
Comment: Merry Kramer is a feisty reporter not afraid of an assignment - even if it includes chasing down the person who put a dead man's body in the trunk of her car.
Roper delivers a spirited heroine who is confident yet sometimes questions herself. With Merry Kramer, she has created a likeable, good-head-on-her-shoulders character and has numerous possibilities of whodunit in this story.
If you like mystery, intrigue, and suspense with a bit of romance, you'll want to read the three book series.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Breath of Fresh Air
Comment: I am sick and tired of reading sappy Christian novels that revolve around a perfect heroine-beautiful, perfect, damsel in distress type. That is why I love Gayle Roper's Caught in the Middle series-her heroine is none of those things!
Merry Kramer is the kind of person you would meet in the check out line in the grocery store who got in the Express lane with 1 item too many. She's like a real person-nothing phony about her. She's hilarious! I fall off the couch laughing every time I read this book! She doesn't do stupid things like other heroines do (you know, like running into the dark, abandoned building at night while being chased). She's sensible, and a little bit ditzy, just like normal people!
The mystery here is truly a good one-and I read mysteries all the time. I can usually figure out what's going to happen, but this book kept me guessing until the answer was revealed. Curt, the love interest in the story, isn't the knight in shining armor that fixes everything-true, he helps her out a couple of times, but she is not at all a subservient type of lady! She tells him off several times, which results in very entertaining reading!
Bottom line: Read this book if you're sick of cheesy, unreal Christian novels with characters that make you want to puke.

Summary: The *kayters* review
Comment: This was a good introduction to an inspirational mystery series of which I will be reading more. Merrileigh "Merry" Kramer is new to Amhearst, PA and has been working for The News, the local newspaper for just about three months when she finds a body in her car trunk. Of course, she must write a story on this and so she does. She ALSO has to write a puff piece on a local artist, Curtis Carlyle, whose show is opening the next evening. She and Curt hit it off rather well and she runs into him again the next night when they wind up being shot at. Various mishaps continue to occur until, of course, Merry stumbles onto the murderer.
One of the major things I enjoyed about this story was the humor. It was a unique style of humor that occasionally made me laugh out loud. I didn't feel as though I was being pandered to, which was nice. The humor was truly humorous. Also, this is definitely a Christian mystery, but I didn't feel as though I was beaten over the head with religion. Merry is just your average twenty-something with relationship issues, flaws, etc. She does rely on God, but she also makes mistakes - and not the HUGE mistakes that you sometimes find in Christian novels - just your average, everyday kinds of stupid things people do. I really appreciated that!
I welcome this series debut and will be reading the others in the series.
