VBT # Review : A Pointed Death - Kath Russell
As part of Pump Up Your Books , they offer the opportunities for authors to A) Star in their own Virtual Book Tours or B) Offer their books up for review, I tend to do a bit of both and today we have a book review of Kath Russell's first book in the series "A Pointed Death".

A humourous light-hearted mystery , though gruesome in places that all mystery solvers will enjoy.
This sounds like a fun book. Mysteries, even silly ones, have always been one of my favorite genres.
