Confessions of a Red Herring (A Red Herring Mystery)

by Dana Dratch

Well written with an intricate plot, CONFESSIONS OF A RED HERRING is a good debut book for author Dana Dratch.

~Lisa Ks Book Reviews

While a red-headed Vlodnachek might not be the full attraction here, Alexandra’s family and close-knit support group provide a lively and fun romp through the storyline.

~Rosepoint Publishing

The author jumps right into a wild story. It just took me a while to warm to Alex, I guess. Once I did, the characters began to become real to me, and I wanted more.

~The Ninja Librarian

I liked the little twists the author gave and had a fun time trying to figure out for myself who did the deed.

~A. Holland Reads

So much happens in this story. At times, I felt my head was spinning, but the author brought everything together for one fantastic ending.

~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book

The author is very talented in her descriptive writing and those descriptions drew me into the story.

~MJB Reviewers

This is the cutest new cozy series . . . It was fun to follow the twists and turns in the story coming to a shocking conclusion.

~Books a Plenty Book Reviews

Confessions of a Red Herring is a five star read full of humor, characters you wish were part of your own family, and a heroine you are rooting to win right from the start.

~Sinfully Wicked Book Reviews

This book was a mixture of humor and corporate America that many might not see a mystery in but Dana Dratch created a compelling mystery out of this. I was hooked from the first knock on the door to the last suspect on Alex’s list.

As a reporter, she’s used to covering the news.

Now she’s the headline.

Alex Vlodnachek has been a reporter for 12 years, a P.R. rep for three months, and a murder suspect for all of 24 hours. When her agency’s double-dealing CEO is stabbed, scheming co-workers cast the new redhead as a compelling red herring. The story is media catnip—especially her salacious nickname: Vlod the Impaler.

Even Alex has to admit she looks guilty.

Out of a job and under suspicion, Alex is running low on cash, when she’s visited by a second disaster: her family. Soon her tiny bungalow is bursting with her nearest and not-so-dearest. To keep herself out of jail—and save what’s left of her sanity—Alex returns to her reporting roots. She goes undercover to reclaim her life, break the story, and unmask a murderer. Pretty much in that order.

What she doesn’t know: The killer also has a to-do list.

And Alex is on it.

My thoughts

A twisted story that will keep the reader on their toes. Red Herring in this story has a whole new meaning.

Alex has switched over from being a reporter to a P.R. It turned out not to be the bet move she has done. She has been set up of a murder and with her brother Nick, friend Trip, Her grandmother, Baba he is going to find out what happened.

The characters were great and I love Baba. You can’t beat a great grandmother with frying pans. Alex is spunky and stubborn which I like about her the most. The author does a great job with the story that you want to keep reading. I will be looking for the next book in the series.
