Deadly Advice Advice Column Mystery Book 1 edition by Roberta Isleib Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
This is not a book you gulp down in one sitting, it's a bit slow going. But it is well-written with a likable interesting main character, and her relationship with the detective is intriguing. There was nothing to dislike, really, so I would give this five stars except for one thing.This a murder mystery, yet it's never really clear if a murder has been committed. This tremendously diluted the suspense and made the reader wonder why she kept investigating when she didn't even like the people involved and she wasn't making any real progress. Plus the detectives have told her to butt out before she wrecks their own investigation, and she seems too intelligent not to see their point.
Other than that it's an excellent book. The author does a terrific job of giving you plenty of suspects while hiding the criminal in plain sight.The crisis at the end is intelligently done. She ends up with the killer, at his mercy--like most mysteries--but through nothing stupid she's done. You feel you could easily have done the same, which makes it far more scary than the typical over-bold heroine going off to confront the murderer with nothing more than pepper spray in her purse.
The ending also had quite an interesting twist--a couple of them, actually--which makes you curious to know what happens to these chracters next. Well done.

Deadly Advice Advice Column Mystery Book 1 edition by Roberta Isleib Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Roberta Isleib has begun another wonderful mystery series with Deadly Advice. I was a fan of Isleib's Cassie Burdette mystery series, and have found her new series featuring Rebecca Butterman as a clinical psychologist/amateur detective even more compelling. The plot is a page-turner, involving an investigation into the mysterious suicide-that-might-not-be-a-suicide of one of Butterman's neighbors. Even more important, Butterman is a bright, insightful, compassionate narrator, who draws the reader into her need to investigate and into her struggles with her own issues as a result of a painful divorce and a traumatic childhood (the latter issue is revealed in the final pages, and I hope will be further explored in future installments of the series). Isleib, a practicing clinical psychologist, layers into her story fascinating insights into the workings of the human psyche through Butterman's own clinical practice, through an advice column she writes, as well as through the complexities of the characters directly involved in the main plot. I am a veteran mystery reader and, as a result, often correctly predict the identity of the perpetrator. In this case, I was both surprised and satisfied (there had been clues and the perpetrator's identity made sense). I highly recommend Deadly Advice and I look forward to reading Isleib's next book in this very promising series.
What to do when your next door neighbor commits suicide? Well if you are Rebecca, her next door neighbor,you would
it to go away. But since her mother has asked you to 'just look into it' Rebecca feels obliged to do so with some funny and
disastrous results. I could have done without the advice columns ( I know tht is part of the book) but there was enough
humor to carry this through.
I've read books by this author (under other names) and enjoyed them. This is my first foray into her clinical psychologist series.
This is a darker story than some of her others, but just as enjoyable.
It's a well crafted look into what people hide from themselves and others, consciously or not.
Who can you trust? Why is this person (seemingly) so unpleasant? What's with these desperate dating service people?
A good puzzle and an energetic resolution.
Roberta Isleib's Deadly Advice introduces Dr. Rebecca Butterman, a psychologist whose next door neighbor is found dead of an apparent suicide. Madeline Stanton's mother asks that Rebecca try to find out the mental state that led to her daughter's death. Rebecca stumbles around in backtracking Madeline's life, discovering that she had been a sexual swinger who posted her exploits and pictures on a blog. Men from her sexual past, her own brothers with whom she doesn't get along, and men in the condominium complex are all suspects. Unfortuantely Rebecca does not identify the murderer until he holds her at gunpoint and almost rapes her. It is through her friend's suspicion that the worst is avoided. There were few clues in the text to the culprit's identity, and the ending feels slick rather than adequately set up.
Since this is the opening book of a series, there are many characters who are introduced but not greatly characterized. This presumably will happen later in the series. There is a hint that something romantic may develop between Rebecca and Detective Jack Meigs, whose wife is dying of ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease.
This was a pretty good whodunit with psychologist Rebecca able to see right to the essence of most of the issues on which she is consulted. However, she is totally blind as far as herself is concerned. And this blindness gets her into trouble time and again. Luckily, she has the friends who can come to the rescue!
Rebecca is consulted by the mother of her next door neighbor who committed suicide (or did she?) while Rebecca was looking the other way. So, she begins to investigate which gets her onto bad terms with the chief police investigator (where have we heard that before?).
Sadly, there are a sufficient number of "where have we heard that before"s to subtract a star. Spencer, the cat, was a definitely plus, though!
This is about Dr. Rebecca Butterman. AKA Dr. Aster and her column for the people looking
for love in all the wrong places. Dr. Butterman's neighbor Madeline, was discovered dead in
her home. Dr. Butterman feels pangs of guilt for not recognizing that her neighbor was
suicidal and after talking the Madeline's mother - decides to look a little deeper into the
situation.
This was a mystery that I very much enjoyed reading. There is a little police procedure, and a
little hopeful romance for Dr. Butterman. All in all it's a well balanced good, logical mystery
This is not a book you gulp down in one sitting, it's a bit slow going. But it is well-written with a likable interesting main character, and her relationship with the detective is intriguing. There was nothing to dislike, really, so I would give this five stars except for one thing.
