Mr. Kiss and Tell dives a bit more into the politics of Neptune, an always enjoyable seedy area to explore. Petra Landros has once again hired Veronica to investigate — this time, the alleged rape and beating of a girl who had stayed at the Neptune Grand. The victim claims an employee of the hotel committed the crime, and she’s suing to cover her medical costs. Landros wants to know if he did it (the accused skipped town), and Veronica wants to find out the truth (that’s what […]
The tiny blonde one has returned!
The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line (Veronica Mars #1) reads like the best (although, very chaste) Veronica Mars fanfiction that I’ve ever read. I mean that as a huge compliment — as a great lover of a show that got cancelled way too soon, I have sought out fan fiction as a way to continue Veronica’s story for years. Plus I like the naughty bits with Logan that they never got to in the show (LoVe 4eva!). Logan’s on a boat for most of The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line, but it’s still […]
“Chatty, defensive, observant. My new favorite witness.”
Mr. Kiss and Tell is the second Veronica Mars book to come out of the super successful Kickstarter project from two years ago. Last spring we had the movie and the first book, The Thousand Dollar Tan Line, and this year we have book two. I was so excited to get it that I bought it for myself for my birthday. And you may say to yourself, why were you so excited, you’ve only rated these two books at three stars? I know, but I […]
The tiny blonde one is growing up and progressing as a detective
Disclaimer! I was given an ARC of this through NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review. Readers should be aware that this is the second book of Veronica Mars mysteries. Readers should probably watch the movie (it’s on Netflix) and read the first book before reading this. If you’re not caught up, there will be spoilers in the review below. Veronica Mars is hired by the insurance agents for the Neptune Grand, to prove that one of the hotel’s staff members didn’t assault […]
It might involve ponies.
Mr. Kiss and Tell is the second of two books contracted after the Kickstarted movie in 2014. Both books have done a great job taking the Veronica Mars world, escalating it, and translating it to the medium of books. I also really like what they’re doing with Veronica’s character (and the other characters). They’re allowing them to grow and change. These characters haven’t just been held in stasis in the nine years that have elapsed since the third season of the TV show ended. This […]
“Annoy, tiny blonde one. Annoy like the wind.”
You Cannonballers know how much I love me some Veronica Mars. I love the TV series, the film, and the first book, which I reviewed for CBR6. I have eagerly awaited the arrival of the second book, and it finally showed up at my library! I tore into it and devoured it in a large gulp this afternoon. Mr. Kiss and Tell picks up a few months after The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line, where Weevil is awaiting the results of his criminal trial, and Veronica is […]
