Who, What, Where, When, Die (An Avery Shaw Mystery Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Amanda M. Lee (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 2,632 ratings
Avery Shaw is having a bad week.
First, she had to cover a story on a barricaded gunman who likes to dance naked in his window. Second, she's receiving death threats with her morning newspaper. Lastly, and most importantly, her mom keeps vetoing her outfit choices.
It's all in a day's work for this hardworking, if easily distracted, reporter.
Avery Shaw is hot on the trail of the story, even if it means tangling with her hot ex-boyfriend -- the county sheriff -- and the equally hot, if slightly shadier pawnshop owner down the street.
Getting the story is going to be totally worth it -- that is if Avery can survive the week.

Warning: These books are sarcastic and snarky. Read only if you're not easily offended. This is the first book in the Avery Shaw Mystery series.

    'Who, What, Where, When, Die' is the story of Avery Shaw as she goes about her daily life as a reporter. She has to get her story, even if it means dealing with her cop ex-boyfriend and hiding that she's getting death threats.

    Avery is a fantastic character; she is convincing as a gamer geek who dresses casually in retro movie t-shirts, her family are nuts and she is amusingly sarcastic. She's just so believable and real.

    I had expected more of a dark mystery story for some reason but this is very much a light, entertaining novel with a colourful cast of characters. The mystery element was well done but was sort of in the background for most of the book and the focus was more on the development of Avery's character. It wasn't a bad thing, it just hadn't been what I was expecting so I was pleasantly surprised.

    I thought the ending suited the personality of the character. I'm not sure how else to explain it without dropping spoilers, but it definitely left me wanting more books about Avery. This is simply a great story with excellent characters, highly recommended!

    Well, there were a lot of humorous bits and I loved Jake and to a lesser extent, Eiot but I am sorry to say I didn't think too much of Avery. Will give book 2 a go.

    I am going through a cosy mystery phase, and this book fitted the bill well. I like the snarky heroine who actually has some soft-hearted endearing qualities, and I like that the 'will I, won't I' with the love triangle was resolved early but still remains as a tantalizing what could have been in the background. My only real complaint is that instead of being applauded for getting the great stories by going out on a limb, her editor is always criticizing her for doing it. I can understand her two hunky protectors doing so, but not her boss.

    I really enjoyed this book. Avery Shaw is a reporter for her local newspaper and she is also a huge Star Wars fan. I enjoyed the wit and sarcasm Avery used and I liked the fact she wasn't your typical girly girl. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

    Who, What, Where, When, Die by Amanda M. Lee is a fantastic cozy mystery with a fascinating storyline, intriguing plot and a snarky main character. Avery Shaw is a reporter with an attitude that usually leaves those she comes in contact with feelings of hostility. She drives her boss and her mother crazy with her lack of decorum and her decidedly "unchic" fashion choices. The fact is, she doesn't care and is quite happy wth her lazy, carefree lifestyle. As a matter of fact, it gives her a perverse sense of pleasure to incite them into frustrated anger. One morning , Avery received a threat with her morning newspaper. Accustomed to being on the wrong side of everybody she knows or meets, Avery shoves it aside. However, when Avery is nearly rundown in front of the police station, she begins to take it more seriously. Who is trying to kill her?

    Who, What, Where,When, Die by Amanda M. Lee is an amusing and entertaining Sleuth mystery. Avery's character is downright funny and her antics kept me in stitches. This is an amazing novel and although it is the first in a series, it reads well as a standalone. It is a well written book with interesting and quirky characters. I am looking forward to meeting them again.
