The FrameUp The Golden Arrow Mysteries Book 1 edition by Meghan Scott Molin Literature Fiction eBooks

Confession: I was hugely disappointed that four out of the six Amazon First choices this month were “Women’s Fiction.” Choice five was marketed as a Superheroes, Action & Adventure book, or a Vigilante Justice story about some woman employed in comics – ‘Yeah, right, my eyes rolled at such a prospect. The sixth? A memoir of a football player and his family. Although I often DO read and Enjoy women’s fiction, I do enjoy having the choice for crime (true and imaginary) stories that are marketed to guys. So, I ordered the one title that I just knew I would enjoy lambasting with all my wisdom and experience…

Okay, I’m striving for a little humor, so don’t take me too literal, please.

Such a fresh take and so hip I feel like I shed fifteen years off my 66. Really, a book I just KNEW I would abhor is so curmudgeonly humorous I found myself wanting more…

Okay, I was so surprised by how much fun it was to read this snarky humorous take on contemporary society and our tendency to stereotype, that I wanted to love this novel. There WERE indeed aspects that I loved as I read along. But…

BLUSH FACTOR: No worries here. Only the mildest cussing and no graphic sex. This surprised me beyond belief, because modern fiction by and about women seems always intent to outdo Elmore Leonard and Stephen King in language. Don’t jump to conclusions. I love Leonard and SK.

THE WRITING & EDITING: Great page turner than is written in a fast-moving, crisp language that, with some authors comes across as choppy. With Molin, though, it works smoothly with just minimal transition phrases.

POV: First person.

STAND-ALONE OR CLIFFHANGER ENDING? Stand-alone.

CHARACTER OR PLOT-BASED? A blend of both. It’s a different slant on romance combined with Action-Adventure. Romantic Comedy combined with Action-Adventure.

BOTTOM LINE

I want to rate it five stars but the character development would need to be enhanced. What I mean is, the author did well with a tome of less than 300 pages, but another hundred could have fleshed out these characters so much more. What we get is a story that is immediately eye-catching and fun, but, in retrospect, is not life-changing. Sort of like a candy bar hits that certain spot but, after a few minutes…

Four stars out of five.

I am striving to produce reviews that help you find books that you want, or avoid books that you wish to avoid. With your help, my improvement will help you and me improve book reviews on Amazon. Together, you and I can build a great customer review process that helps everybody. Will you join me? It is people such as you who have helped me improve over the years. I'm still learning, and I have a great deal yet to learn. With your help, I'll improve every day.

The FrameUp The Golden Arrow Mysteries Book 1 edition by Meghan Scott Molin Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I didn’t enjoy reading this book, unfortunately. The main character felt overly cliched, and very heavy handed on “nerd culture” and gender issues right of the bat which wasn’t quite what I anticipated and certainly not so forwardly. I just didn’t enjoy that aspect but for those who do, more power to you! The main character was simply unlikeable for her arrogance and holier-than-thou attitude, growing irate when stereotyped but playing judge with others. Too irritated to continue past the first few pages and really disappointed her overbearing personality got in the way of a great concept.
Sassy heroines have been employed over and over by authors, some to great effect while others provoke various levels of nausea. Author Meghan Scott Molin uses it effectively, granting readers a refreshing view of her lead character MG.

The plot was good, and the initial meeting between MG and the potential male attraction Detective Matteo happened innocently and never felt forced. The interaction between the two of them, as well as the incidents in the office with her co-workers, firmly establishes MG’s character as well as putting enough life into the other people that I felt quite happy that I wasn’t reading yet another book filled with one-dimensional puppets. With the story told in first person POV, readers receive inventive descriptions of the action as well as the other characters.

I was a good way into the book when I realized that the author was managing to tell her story without even the hint of an f-bomb crossing the pages. Not even a vulgarity or mild epithet was seen or heard. What I expected to be a smart, chic woman able to hold her own when the boys start talking like they’re in the locker room was actually more of a cozy mystery. Rather than a disappointment, it was a breath of fresh air. Even though there were a few instances in the last part of the book, they were way, way down the vulgarity index, and many could have made the cut in a Disney movie.

I’m not sure why this book was billed as “geek fiction,” other than the fact that MG works for a comic book publishing company. While that is a detail that fits in as part of the plot, the writing shines as Ms. Molin relates the story with a flair not seen in many books today. The book starts off being a lot of fun, which continued all the way to the last page. Five stars.
