The Book Resort, June 27, 2009 (view all comments by The Book Resort)
Kate Borden is the pen name for 2001 Anthony Award Best Paperback ~ Death Dances to a Reggae Beat ~ winner, Kate Grilley.



Death of A Tart is an amazing, whimsical start to a promising new cozy series.


Set in New England ~ Cobb's Landing ~ I had to remind myself Cobb's Landing doesn't exist, so all plans to move there were off : /.




P.J. is a delightful character. I took to her immediately. I am real fussy. When a character speaks to me & seems real the author has a reader in me for life.




Kate Borden created a three dimensional character that is so vibrant, I found the little girl in me wishing she was real.



I wanted to hang out w/ P.J. & all the wonderful townfolk of Cobb's Landing. I wanted to jump into the book & become a part of Kate's creation. It's that terrific.

Death of A Tart is one of my all-time favorite books ever written.



It touched me, made me fall in love w/ mysteries all over.


Death of A Tart definitely is what a cozy mystery is all about ~ hands down.

I'm not one to reread books, since there are so many books for me to discover, but I do have those cherished treasures I read again to comfort my soul. I remember how good it made me feel inside to become lost in this book.

The people of Cobb's Landing are offbeat & authentic. All of the characters are warm.


Death of a Tart is a fast, one sitting mystery chock full of surprises & secrets.



Death of A Tart is definitely not a book to pass up & will have readers antsy to return to the charming, cozy & warm town of Cobb’s Landing.

Psst! If you close your eyes, you can smell the fresh baked treats drifting through the town.
