Would you like a break from all those skinny heroines and read an exciting mystery adventure featuring an unrepentant size 18 professional with breasts large enough to qualify for their own zip code?Meet Allison Little, the biggest realtor in town."The first thing you should know about me is that I do not cut my own hair with nail scissors. Please. Robert would kill me if I even considered touching my hair with my own two hands. I’m not a doctor and I never know exactly why a body is dead, I only know that when you find a dead body in the kitchen, it makes it that much more difficult to sell the house, what with all the hysteria about full disclosure now–a-days. Difficult, but not impossible. I am not a national park ranger. I do not work while also caring for adorable children or difficult teens. In fact I completely forgot to have children. Some where in my past, the word children was written on some long ago goal list along with items like white wedding at the Marin Country Club and Lose 150 pounds by Christmas penciled in just below that."Death Revokes the Offer is the first book in the Real Estate Diva Mystery Series. The books are fast, funny and take the reader from murder to romance and back again. In this initial mystery ebook Allison Little meets the elusive yet oh so handsome Ben Stone - Rock Solid Service. She finds him in the yellow pages. Ben becomes involved with both Allison and the unearthed rare art she discovers shortly after discovering a dead body in the kitchen of her new listing. What does a woman do with an 8 million dollar offer and no one alive to sign? Find out who did it. If only to make her feel better. As they pursue the murder, Allison also counsels her stray-cat-saving best friend Carrie who is determined to tame the most edible bachelor in the wine country. Come and experience life with Allison Little, the biggest realtor in town. Check into the Look Inside feature and start right now!“I had no idea you were so funny. Your wit, wisdom and information are second to none.” - Bud Gardner (with Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen) Chicken Soup for the Writer’s Soul

Funny, grabs your attention from the first page.

I like the characters and the tone. It's amusing and keeps your interest until the end. It could use some better editing but the missing and mispelling did take anything away from the story.

Well Written With A Few Flaws

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

The book is well written and the author has a good sense of humor and a feel for the story she wants to tell. Allison Little's character is right on. A retired real estate broker myself I worked with characters that could be Allison's twin. The author also had a good feel for how real estate sales work. For those with out a Real Estate background some of the dialog may be eye opening. I can assure you though everything in this book concerning Real Estate I have heard an agent or a broker say.

As for the flaws. This book apparently appeared first in print in 2008 and was converted to e-book format an re-released in 2014. There were apparently some problems. There are a number of cases of pieces of sentences missing and in some cases weird insertions. In one instance they were talking about sheet rock which then became sheet wall then after several sentences came back to sheet rock. Luckily this was not rampant in the book but it happened often enough to be annoying.

I will try more from this author as I did like her style and wit. Hopefully they will conquer the gremlins in the e-book format quickly.

Fun, but needs work

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

I agree with Andi Anderson and Evie. It read like a pre-publication first draft and desperately needed editing. I give the author five stars each for humor and the insights into the real estate industry but it needs work. That is where a competent, whip-cracking editor would be worthwhile.
Complaint 1: There is too little where, why and how in development of the mystery with the result that too many things happen either coincidentally or accidentally.
Complaint 2: Too little development of sexual tension between the key characters, plus missed opportunities, unexplained remarks and unfulfilled promise. The secondary romance between Carrie and the rich boy received more attention but still not enough.
Complaint 3: Maria just got written out without explanation; why even bother to mention it at all?
Complaint 4: Dull ending, almost as though the writer got bored with the book and just wanted to finish it.
Summary: Good first effort but with more attention to detail it could have been great.

Very enjoyable book!!

10 stars!!
Allison Little is a ball of fire!! She is truly a real estate diva. The clients she has is a trip in a half. And the people in her office is something else entirely.
She goes to see a home that could be a possibility for sale, until she meets the siblings. That is when some of the fireworks began.
There is murder, thefts, weird art collections and of course an overbearing mother!!
But Allison takes it in stride with the help of her new contractor Ben Stone. Boy, the description of him sounds yummy.
It is the first time I am reading this author, and I like it. Now I must read the rest of the series. You will love it, I didn't sleep much, wanted to see what happens next.

I enjoyed this book and can say I would have given it a 5 except for a few editing issues. I can say that it is a fun book and the author does know California and might have been a realtor in her other (or possibly still) life. There are a few LOL scenes and the ending is also interesting. I recommend this book for just about everyone, esp those of us who enjoy a fun mystery without all the graphic sexual depictions.

So many annoying characters. And the errors! Someone's name was changed from one page to the next, weird formatting, skipping from one day to next without a split in paragraph...just so hard to read.

bad proofing but good story

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2014

if you are bothered by typos and punctuation errors this book [and the second one in the series, i did not read the third or fourth] will drive you crazy, too bad as it is a fun story. if you don't know the difference [LOL] then enjoy the plot, i did enjoy it and sent notices on typos etc. but the second title in the series was just too much to correct and too irritating to read because of lack of proofing. i had to deleted it and forgo buying the rest of the series. i will be glad to change this review to a 5 star if this book is edited.. note to other reviewers, do NOT send me nasty notes about my own typing errors. i am typing on a small screen, i am a terrible typist and i am not charging you $2.99 to read my review.

Really liked this book

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2014

Allison is a Realtor- and a BBW with some sassy attitude!! Her thin cosmetically enhanced mother sends her to list a $9 mil house that belongs to one of her friends. When Allison walks in she notices there are no front doors- and a dead body is on the kitchen floor.....

This story picks up steam and takes you on an entertaining ride!! Allison has to deal with arrogant sellers, disturbing art, murders and several bumps on the head as well as a gorgeous enigmatic handy man named Ben who is not what he seems....

I will definitely be reading the rest of this series- well written and keeps you interested and involved all the way to the end!

Good plot line BUT..

Reviewed in Canada on January 20, 2020

Unfortunately this is a big but. Yes I enjoyed the story which kept me reading until the end, but I have to say the typos, plus formatting errors that continued page after page were very distracting. If you're going to publicly thank your proofreader at the very start of the book you should at least make sure the book has been proofread thoroughly. Also more use of the F-word than I personally consider appropriate in a cozy mystery.

Too Slow

Really not my kind of book. It had its moments but generally it was too slow moving for my taste and I found it boring
