Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week I'm waiting on The Astonishing Mistakes of Dahlia Moss by Max Wirestone.
Release Date: March 14, 2017
Publisher: Redhook
Waited on by: Sam
You'd think that after I took a bullet in my arm following my last case that I'd be timid about going in guns blazing a second time. But you'd be wrong. I faced down death, and the only bad thing that happened was that I got a cool scar. Which is a like a tattoo, but with street cred.
I may have been a little overconfident this time. And that may have seriously clouded my judgment. Some small, but confidently made, mistakes include: Unwisely meeting up with an internet stalker in real life. Eating a large breakfast before discovering a corpse. Kidnapping. Standing uncomfortably close to the edge of a steamboat while musing that nothing bad could possibly happen. Kidnapping, again That's the thing about a sense of invulnerability -- you usually get it right before things go terribly, terribly, wrong.
Dahlia Moss Mysteries
The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss
The Astonishing Mistakes of Dahlia Moss
The Questionable Behavior of Dahlia Moss
The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss was one of my top reads back in 2015. I just fell in love with Dahlia, who is a geekier version of Veronica Mars. I loved her snark and awkwardness and laughed so much it hurt. Therefore, I have high hopes for this second book. I hope it will give me even more zany characters and another fun mystery imbued with tons of geeky and pop culture references.
What are you waiting on?

Wow, I'd not heard of this book or series! I'm not particularly familiar with Veronica Mars, though growing up, I definitely heard the name a lot. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it, Sam!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a fabulous week. =)

You must Netflix Veronica Mars. That show was whip smart, and she was an awesome heroine.
DeleteI read the first Dahlia Moss book and enjoyed it. Thanks for pointing out there is a new one coming out. Hope you enjoy it! This week my pick is Southern Fried a humorous mystery by Tonya Kappes.
