"A Fatal Stain" is a humorous cozy mystery involving a missing (and possibly dead) woman. It's the third in the series, but you don't need to read the previous mysteries in order to understand this one. However, this book did vaguely spoil the whodunit of the previous mystery.
The story was funny because Dyce was a bit out of touch with reality, but you see why when you meet her parents. She acted childishly and thoughtlessly at times, but she didn't come across as selfish. She was trying to be...more

I was so excited to finally see a third installment in this series, I sooo enjoyed the first two; but I really struggled through this.
The mystery was very slow moving, and at times I questioned where it was going. The mystery centered around a table with questionable stains which Dyce picks up for a song at a shady garage sale. Of course, being Dyce she doesn't share her suspicions with Cas (her hunky policeman fiance), but proceeds to "investigate" on her own.

This 3rd book in the fun and lively cozy murder mystery series, "A Daring Finds Mystery," has several aspects that kept me turning the pages to finish the book quickly. First it tells us right off from the beginning that the characters are going to be making changes in the coming novels. I, personally, love this because I'm fond of character growth. Sometimes a character just never changes and the stories become stale. Not, this one.

I could not put this book down. If you enjoyed her other books you will also like this one, or if you are a first time reader it is worth picking up. Although I would recommend reading the first one to get more familiar with the characters. With Dyce planning her wedding you can expect some trouble to knock on the door. She seems to get herself into trouble without even trying. I really enjoyed this book. She added more relationship goings on between the couples, I enjoyed this aspect of the boo...more
I had pretty much given up on this book being released so it was a very pleasant surprise to see it available. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and this book was a delightful addition. I absolutely love Dyce's sense of humour and outlook on life and she is surrounded by equally great characters. The dialogue is consistently entertaining. I usually shy away from cosy mysteries with children, but E is a hoot and his childhood brings back memories of my own (which did involve a f...more
This was a good book. The constant humor took a little getting used to and was annoying at times, but the story was good and the characters interesting. They are not realistic, but they are entertaining. I had read the previous books in this series and I will read the next one.
Had never read this series before and it appears I didn't really miss a whole lot. Didn't care for the main character and wasn't crazy about the story either.
This is #3 in the series and I enjoyed it. The "mystery" is really secondary to all that's going on in the characters' personal lives.
I liked the humor in this, especially. Dyce reminded me of a friend with a similarly skewed view.
Kept me amused all day and awaked longer than I have been lately. Love E.
Funny An enjoyable read
Dyce is just plan nuts! E is not a believable 3 year old. Also Dyce is a irresponsible mother. Also wondered why she's acting as if Cas was holding a gun to her head to get married to him.
