Callie Bloom, owner of The Truth About Fairy Tales Matchmaking Agency—TAFT for short—knows just how hard it is to find a man, much less a good and faithful man. That’s why her matchmaking agency strives to help the women of Belmont, Georgia find their happily ever after.

Business is booming, or at least it was before the murder of a client. Now, she must figure out how to help her clients find their Prince Charming without sending them into the arms of a killer.

Throw in a sexy detective and some chocolate sauce, and things get complicated. Will she figure out who the killer is before another TAFT client loses their life? And, will Jack, the sexy detective, save her heart from more than just this killer?

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept Me Guessing
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018

To me this is a cross between Amateur Sleuth and Romantic Suspense genres.

Callie is part owner of a Matchmaking service with the help of her partners and her grandmother. When one of their clients is found dead, a police detective calls on Callie to help him figure out what, if anything, her business has to do with the incident. Callie and the detective don't see eye-to-eye on the methods but they both want to get to the truth.

I really enjoyed how the first-person perspective kept the focus limited and thus I did not see the end coming. If the focus were broader, I may have figured it out sooner. I think that's a mark of a great mystery writer, keep 'em guessing until the final reveal.

Warning: There is some off screen violence that can be felt, if you are of a sensitive nature. Also there is adult language and situations.

Turning dreams into reality can be murder!
A matchmaking agency comes under fire when a client is murdered.
The consolation is that the investigating detective is a hottie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cozy Murder Mystery
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018

Truth About Fairy Tales is a perfect cozy murder mystery. Callie is a fun heroine with plenty of moxie. She’s surrounded by quirky characters. Grandma Olive is the best of them all, utilizing the “black vine” to get the hidden information on Callie’s clients.

I didn’t figure out the murderer. DM Chappell played fair. Her foreshadowing was perfect . . . I had the clues but her twists and turns got me.

Super good book! This is the first time I have read something by this author and I will certainly investigate more. The mystery was well woven. Being 80 years old, I related to Olive and Gina. I was surprised who the murderer was. Didn't see that coming at all..Hope there is more ahead for Jack and Callie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lighthearted Cozy Mystery for the Beach
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018

I generally don't enjoy first person narratives, but the author's folksy southern phrases do a great job of capturing Belmont. The story is a charming read for the beach or the nail salon, and the characters are approachable and complex enough to deliver surprises. The ladies of Belmont would undoubtedly approve.

Lovely little cozy mystery. Some characters a little two-dimensional but I loved Grandma Olive! I did figure out the killer realtively early but that didn't spoil the enjoyment of the story at all. Good going!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, a good read.

I enjoyed this book, it was easy to read & the editing was as good as any trad-pubbed book I've read.
Apparently, there will always be the odd typo/mistake & as authors, we expect that.
A good storyline, if not entirely gripping or epic & by that I mean it's not meant to excite or have you on the edge of your seat in suspense but is definitely read-worthy.
I only marked it down a star because it's not one of the best stories ever but then so few are, so this is not a negative 4 but a very plus 4. I reserve my 5 star reviews for stories I find more gripping, exciting, full of my type of humour etc. A good read.
