Death Comes eCalling (Book 1, Molly Masters Mysteries): Illustrated Edition! Kindle Edition

by Leslie O'Kane (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 4,246
See all formats and editions
Meet Molly Masters, a zany mother and accidental sleuth who owns a one-woman business that creates humorous eCards. After a twenty-year absence, Molly has relocated her family to her childhood home in a suburb of Albany, NY, only to have her husband's reassignment abruptly changed to overseas.

Molly's least-favorite high school teacher dies on the very same day that Molly receives both a letter from that teacher and an anonymous email that threatens Molly's life. All too soon, Molly finds herself knee deep in gossip...and murder.

This third edition, new in 2017, has been updated to include Molly Masters' cartoons! This was Leslie O'Kane's original vision for the book, and she is thrilled to finally see that vision come to fruition. These illustrated editions of the Molly Masters Mysteries will all be complete by the end of 2017. Look for the subtitle "Illustrated Edition!"

About the Author

Leslie O'Kane is the author of 19 mysteries. She began writing when her son was one year old and she realized if she didn't shut down her technical writing business, she would never realize her dream of writing fiction for a living. She gave herself six years to accomplish the feat and got her first contract two months shy of her deadline. She considers the time she was taken hostage in a robbery to be the beginning of her life in crime.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Leslie O’Kane has written 28 novels in which at least one crime takes place. Many years ago, she was taken hostage in a robbery by an irate customer afterhours at the bar where she was head waitress. Leslie’s first thought was: “This guy is taking missing last call way too seriously.” That made her laugh, which in turn made the robber strike her with his shotgun. The experience taught her that writing about crimes is much more fun than taking part in them. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, with her husband and their Cocker Spaniel.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Ate This Book Up!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2015

I just finished this book not five minutes ago and am up at the computer looking for the next book in this series. One reviewer noted grammatical errors that were distracting to the book? Really??? This was well written (1st person). Maybe I was to busy gobbling up the story to notice.. ah well. Once I started, this book captured me... for the next two days my Kindle was never more than four feet or arm's length from me as I totally devoured this story. The characters were all entertaining. I only had one moment where I thought the story stretched my ability to buy into it...and it wasn't that important to the plot...I just would have gotten Molly there differently. And, past that, if I wasn't reading the book I was busy filling every idle minute trying to come up with a plausible "And the killer is...." My husband even had to wave his hand in front of my face at dinner while we waited for our meals, I was off in La La Land trying to analyze the clues! I normally don't particularly care for books where the main character is a mom as I consider having children around in a mystery stifles the main character... but these children were just so adorable.. you felt you could just grab, at least, the little boy up and hug him. All the suspects were fascinating... not overblown... but not your norma or usual set of characters. They were all fairly unique...and the dialogue was great!! These characters were very defined.... I loved her best friend and their sometimes stressful friendship as all friendships are, I loved the Stephanie character with her "bitchy" personality...so much so that I found myself memorizing some of her lines to steal and turn on those self-centered people in my orbit... very creative. I'd like to give as good as I get...and Stephanie's dialogue is just fantastic...not over done either..but brilliant. The Tommy character was just so right on... we all know that guy... and he's not the usual dumb cop or overbearing macho guy. There were several humorous if not down right funny moments too. I loved her business of doing personal cartoons/e-cards... my own husband is an artist and has done that so many times.... and it's amazing what a creative brain and art talent can do... And, just like Molly, they come to him in synapses and he's constantly grabbing something to jot down his ideas... just like Molly. Talk about realism! I especially appreciated those wonderful ideas Molly kept coming up with that really added so much fun to the story. The only character that leaves something to be developed is the absent husband.... and that's not unexpected...but can't wait to see if he's going to be as equally entertaining as all the other characters have been once he returns to the fold. This is definitely a good mystery which will keep you occupied until the last word. I recommend this book as a great way to pass some hours being entertained not only by the mystery,...but the characters and the humor of the characters and those darn cute cartoons!!! Happy Reading...

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute quick read

Cute murder mystery book filled with humor laced with sarcasm. The whodunit is believable and plausible. Side characters are all appropriate suspects.

Molly is a greeting card writer who returns to her hometown after a long absence. Not everyone welcomes her home. Her character is trying to be the best single mother possible, but her scattered brain gets in the way. I found her hard to believe as a character; perhaps more description about what she had been doing away from her hometown would have helped. She’s not very well organized, she says she is going to do something and then does something else, and she gives up and in to her kids quickly. I’m not sure if the author intended all of this as character flaws or if they are just mistakes. In any case, Molly if funny, devoted to her family and her friend, and really feels guilty for something she did back in high school.

There are a quite a few editing errors with punctuation, missing words, and tense agreement. I didn’t notice them until about 30% through, but then the remainder of the book had many.

It seems like this quick read would make a nice series. Perhaps the reader will understand more about Molly’s time away from her hometown so her character’s quirks and flaws are better explained. This would be an excellent beach book.

I saw another reviewer complain about spelling and composition errors, so first of all, reading this with Kindle for my iPad, I saw none. I hate those errors and find them very distracting so I would have noticed.

Molly is a funny and realistic character, and I liked her. I will read more of these. The story flows smoothly, with a few things that probably wouldn't happen in "real life," but this is fiction! The plot development was good, the character development was realistic and believable (there was a Stephanie in my life, as well as a Lauren), although Molly's relationship with her husband may not have been well enough developed. It will never win any awards, but it is worth reading and will give the reader some chuckles and some tense moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightfully written mystery
Reviewed in Canada on March 29, 2016

This is a story written with humour. Up to date with many women,s lives. Humorous and yet enough of a mystery to keep you wanting to turn the pages. A very likeable set of characters with a satisfactory ending. I recommend the Molly Masters book to anyone who is tired of having the main character with predictable good looks, auburn hair and green eyes. Molly is like most of us. Smart, not necessarily beautiful and a fun Mom to her kids. Let,s have more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to put down. I was immersed in the story right to the end.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2015

What an enjoyable book!

My first impression was "parochial" as there were so many cultural references to small town America. Once passed these it was a fascinating read.

The characters were well defined and believable. While trying to figure out if there had been a murder I realised we now had a room full of suspects. With each new clue I was left trying to figure out who it pointed to. Typical small town America where everyone knows everyone else but they all have their secrets and are distant from those they have grown up with. With each interaction the author peels back a layer and beneath is an ever growing network of ties between the characters. Rather than the characters being superficial and simply defined with each page they get more complex.

As for the murderer ... I was guessing right to the end.

It could only have been improved with some illustrations like those described in the pages of the book. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
