Pictured above is me at my local library, holding the Booklist Romance Top 10 List which featured my last book, Hot Flash. I’m having some serious love for Booklist!

The great folks at Medallion Press sent me a copy of the advanced review from the American Library Association’s Booklist magazine, for Diary of a Confessions Queen. I’m so thrilled they gave it a Starred Review!

The review will appear in their February 1st edition! Here’s a link to the BooklistOnline site.

Here’s a small excerpt from the review (since it’s an advanced review, the final version might change slightly).

Carmichael (Hot Flash, 2009) has created a thrilling whodunit in her trademark sassy, breezy style. Readers will enjoy her unique blend of humor and suspense.
— Shelley Mosley

Diary of a Confessions Queen is my first mystery novel and to say I was worried about how it would be received is an understatement. Especially since it’s a comedic mystery! These positive reviews have lightened my heart and this one from Shelley Mosley has made it soar.

All of those negative tapes in my head about “what was I thinking?” have dissipated. So I guess it’s time to get back to work on another mystery 🙂 🙂 — KC (who is exceedingly grateful)
