WHEN YOUR EX ARRESTS YOUR MOM FOR MURDER, YOU…
(A) SET UP A GoFundMe FOR BAIL
(B) BUST HER OUT
(C) INVEST IN A MAGNIFYING GLASS… (ANSWER BELOW)
Missy DeMeanor, voluptuous craft queen extraordinaire, is big and beautiful, disciplined, ambitious, hard-working, resourceful, creative, and – yes, suspected of murder.
Not even a sighting of Missy’s hot ex-boyfriend at the bookstore where she works can deter her from her flea market quest. It’s a perfect September Saturday for garage sale shopping in tiny Grove City, Pennsylvania -- blue skies, seventy-five degrees – and Missy DeMeanor is set on scoring that cabinet she’s had her eye on. Driving a hard bargain is one thing, but now the seller is dead – and the so-handsome investigating office says it’s murder!
Who should the investigating officer turn out to be but Tyler Brock, the boy Missy dated in high school, recently returned to Grove City after a decade in Philadelphia, with an undetermined marital status. And he’s acting like he still has feelings for her – when he’s not asking pointed questions and scribbling in his notebook. Surely Tyler doesn’t think she’s a killer!
But the whole town seems in on family secrets Missy’s just learning that could be a strong motive – secrets about a business deal gone bad between the murdered man and Missy’s own father, and about a violent incident involving her mother, whom even Tyler acknowledges to be “the sweetest woman on earth.” Even worse than being suspected of murder? Missy’s mother being suspected of murder. Things have gotten so out of hand that Missy deduces her friend Noreen, the avid mystery reader, is right it’s up to Missy to find the killer! And like that a talented amateur sleuth is born.
Since Missy works in a bookstore, devotees of Carolyn Hart’s Death on Demand series will think they've come home again. Animal lovers will fall for her dog Cody, and fans of women sleuths, especially light, delicious cozies you can read fast, with no cliffhangers, on-the-page violence or graphic scenes will eat this series up. If you like Gina LaManna, Jana DeLeon, Mary Daheim, and Leighann Dobbs, give Missy a try!
EDITOR'S NOTE In an earlier version of this book, Missy's distress came out in a couple of unseemly expletives. She has since gotten hold of herself; this one is squeaky clean!

Flea Market Fatal Missy DeMeanor Cozy Mystery #1 Missy DeMeanor Cozy Mysteries edition by Brianna Bates Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
This is my first book by Brianna Bates and I wasn't disappointed. The characters were well developed and very likeable. Well not all of the characters were likeable, a couple of them needed a good killing, lol. That is just how well this author can write, showed us how terrible some people can be. This was a great mystery and I truly enjoyed it. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. Yes there needs to be some more editing, but I loved it anyway.
I enjoyed the book. It has interesting characters and a great plot twist. However, it could use some editing. I recommend this series.
The writing in this book is very good and the characters are great. There were just several things that didn't click. For example the neighbor claims he never saw anyone but Missy around the morning of the murder but then states that people were in and out all morning. The victim's dog doesn't seem to recognize the ex-wife--just her boyfriend. This is a very small town with a two man police force, but seems to have an abundance of attorneys and other businesses. The 'press conference' seemed pretty hokey--I can't imagine anyone agreeing to that.
It’s been a while since I read this so I went back to my notes and finally had to stop. The book just wasn’t worth all that much time and effort. Flea Market Fatal is the first in a series which just astonishes me because Missy DeMeanor is one of the most annoying characters I’ve ever read.
I almost stopped reading this book more than once because of the flaky, illogical behavior of either Missy or the supposed hero, Tyler Brock, or both. First of all Missy can’t decide if she is curvy or overweight so she has to mention her size every page or two. And when she isn’t doing that she is talking about every other characters size and usually comparing it to her own. It got old fast. Like by the end of chapter two. Then she also flip flops around emotionally faster than a crack addled mongoose (thank you, MJD). Maybe it’s no wonder that her mother just doesn’t tell her too much. ““To the woman who never tells me anything important.” Noreen looked at her sideways. “Out of love, Miss. Out of love.””
Missy is a shining 20 watt bulb in a 100 watt world at times, when Tyler questions her after looking at the dead man, “Missy couldn’t believe he was really asking her these questions. She looked into those blue eyes she had once found so gorgeous but now found so cold. She was amazed this was the same man she’d dated almost twenty years ago. He was a totally different person.” I’m not certain what is dumber, her not believing he would question her presence at the scene or her amazement that he had changed in twenty years. Just because Missy acts like a 15 yr old at times doesn’t mean everyone else should be as emotionally immature.
Of course she shouldn’t feel so alone because the EMT who shows up at the scene keeps trying to get Missy to go on a date with him while waiting to take the body away. He’s a definite winner.
The hero, Tyler Brock, has returned home to work on a small town police force and is not the most professional cop on the block. He seems to switch from professional to somewhat flirty personal at the drop of a doughnut, ““Was there anything else you wanted to ask me?” she said. He was still smiling. “A lot, actually. But none of it would be appropriate right now.””, and doesn’t seem to have a problem detaining someone overnight on the strength of a 20 yr old feud and no solid evidence. “Tyler nodded. “I didn’t want it to come to this, but you gave me no choice.”” He says this to Missy as he takes her mother into custody. Um, since her mother was the one trying not to tell him anything why was it Missy’s fault?
Going back and rereading my notes I realize how negative this book is and how, well, dumb. “If the police think you did or they think they can close the case by pinning it on you, they will. Cops don’t like open murders on their books, especially in a small town like this.” And since Missy and Tyler dated in high school, “And the more she thought about it, the more Tyler had to suspect her. If he didn’t think of her as prime suspect, people would say it was because of their prior history. His credibility as a police officer would be shot. He almost had to come after her to stay above reproach.” No, if he is that close then he needs to hand over the case to someone else. I think the author really needed to do a little more research on police procedure.
Continuing with the negative mood of the book, “Once upon a time it had been a typical store with all the new releases and bestsellers but about a decade ago, it had shifted models and become a used bookstore. All the volumes were dusty, the pages yellowed, and most of the spines of the paperbacks were cracked.” It’s a wonder this shop is still in business. I frequent used bookstores and they are dust free with a large inventory of solid spined, white paged books. Yes, there are older books whose pages are ivory with age but even those are dust free.
There were some hiccoughs in the writing such as, “Without even realizing it at first, Missy put a hand on my belly. It was hanging over my jeans a little bit too much.” and “Her russet fur breezed as she raced to meet Missy.”, but these didn’t bother me as much as the annoying characters, their illogical behavior, and unrealistic actions.
If you want a cosy that bears any resemblance to normal this is not the book for you.
I received this book free from one of the book sites. I do not remember which one! This is my honest review.
I really enjoy the first book in a series. New characters, plots, and murders. This is a good book. There is the amateur sleuth, clues from every direction, and here a gorgeous Irish Setter.
Missy has a BFF named Noreen who encourages Missy to investigate the murder of which she is a suspect. Through her investigation. Missy finds out that her parents had a history with the victim. Missy's usually normal days of refurbishing furniture for the flea market & working at Books and Crannies become emeshed with murder and suspicions.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good cozy mystery.
kindle unlimited, the first of at least 6 {and set} that is vapidly mindlessly moronic is so many ways to point would want to throw it but on electronic book reader. Please note this and every other cover picture where this 'overweight/cubby/almost obese/bbw' etc looks actually rather small and tiny, and considering she's supposed to be tall for a female that doesn't come across nor does any weight, no extra chin not even puffed out face in any way, NOTHING indicates supposedly overweight in ANY way except the constant whining and winging on about weight as she constantly does next to nothing to exercise or watch what she's eating in any way, with the choices she makes totally wrong for ANY diet much less permanent type solution. R M St 1 star review is must see.
Missy DeMeanor just found the perfect cabinet to repurpose for next week’s Tri-County Flea Market. Too bad she also just found the owner of said cabinet dead in his house. She hasn’t seen her high school sweetheart, Tyler Brock, in years, and under normal circumstances she’d be excited to reconnect with him. But these aren’t normal circumstances because Missy is the prime suspect in the town’s first murder in years.
Now with the help of her best friend, Noreen, and her mother (assuming Mom will actually share everything with her), Missy must prove her innocence and find the killer. But as she delves deeper into the investigation she uncovers some shocking secrets about the town, and her own family. Can this big, beautiful woman find the killer in time…and still be ready for the Flea Market?
