Veronica Mars An Original Mystery by Rob Thomas Mr Kiss and Tell Rob Thomas Jennifer Graham Books

I'm going to assume if you're reading this, you're a fan of the series and you've seen the movie. (Or should I say *first* movie, on the assumption there will be more?) The book picks up a couple of months after the movie left off, with Logan deployed and Veronica having decided to forget about a law career in New York and stay in Neptune to go back to her addiction, PI work.

Keith is still recovering from the serious car crash and there are nothing but crickets for Mac and Veronica at Mars Investigations. But then the Chamber of Commerce hires them to investigate the spring break disappearance of a college girl, since it's become a national cause celèbre, bad for Neptune's businesses, and Sheriff Lamb is clearly not competent to do the job.

Just as in the series and the movie, Veronica dives in, calling on her cadre of friends, like Mac and Wallace, to help out with legwork and the high-level technical stuff. The mystery is on a par with what we're used to, with the added benefit of a major plot twist that Veronica runs into during the investigation and that rocks her back on her heels.

As a book, of course this was somewhat less heavy on the dialog than a film/TV script. That makes sense, but it did mean there wasn't quite as much of that snarky patter that we all love. It's there, definitely, just less of it. The big thing for LoVe 'shippers is that since Logan is deployed, he's not as big a factor as you'd like. But his absence gives Veronica a chance to think hard about all the changes in her life and their implications, and for Veronica and Keith to deal with them.

Although I'd preordered the book, when I found out that the audiobook was read by Kristen Bell, I had to have it. It was like all those nights watching the show, to have Kristen Bell's voice in my ear, reading the story. Of course she's great as herself, but she's surprisingly good at giving voices to all the other characters.

The verdict: It's not a pony, but it's a good gift.

Veronica Mars An Original Mystery by Rob Thomas Mr Kiss and Tell Rob Thomas Jennifer Graham Books Reviews

Perhaps the show has been off the air too long for even the creator to remember what is was like which is not an impression I got from the first book. I thoroughly enjoyed but it really bothers me that when she has decided she knows who the killer is it's just explained more or less as intuition which frankly seemed like a huge leap and more so for someone like Veronica Mars perhaps the point was to make it seem as her intuition was just that good but the result was she appeared to be going after a last ditch lead doggedly because there was literally no other options. Either it was that person or shed never be able to solve it. Further it felt as the secondary storylines were incredibly shallow all wrapped up less than satisfyingly which is one of the things that made the series great. You got a full rich story within a larger rich story and I felt that sorely missing here. Lastly it lacked hope, maybe this is a by product of the evolution of these characters but the general feeling of resignation over all of it. That this is just how things are, and he/she's just is that way, and nothing will ever change. I hope this is a set up for the next book where things will make more sense.
Since Veronica's return to Neptune and work as a private investigator, her life has settled into a regular rhythm of Daddy-Daughter dinners (now including Logan, recently returned from his latest deployment), co-running Mars Investigations, and continuing to strive to be the biggest thorn possible in Sheriff Dan Lamb's side. For if there is one constant in Neptune, it's the corruption under-pinning the city's veneer of wealth and respectability. Riding high on the success of Weevil's exoneration, she and her father begin to brainstorm how to take Weevil's case further, transforming him into a symbol of the systemic corruption in the sheriff's department. But Veronica's latest solo success has gained her a measure of notoriety, and the offer of a (lucrative) solo job investigating possible fraudulent insurance claim against the Neptune Grand Hotel.

Grace Manning (fans of the show will remember her as the younger sister of Meg, featuring in the "Donut Run" episode), the victim of a vicious rape, was left with no memories of the attack, until memories began to resurface and she accused a Neptune Grand employee. The deeper Veronica digs, the more she begins to realize that Grace's attack may be the tip of the iceberg. Driven by her own demons, Veronica digs ever deeper, determined to stop a monster from hurting one more girl -- but the cost may be more than she's willing to pay, as her drive to succeed threatens to disrupt the fragile balance she's achieved since returning to Neptune.

Following the release of the Kickstarter-backed film, I was thrilled when Rob Thomas furthered his commitment to Veronica Mars with the promise of a series of original novels. The first, The Thousand Dollar Tan Line, was a fabulous addition to the world of the show, sliding seamlessly into place as a literary extension to the film world. I sped through Thomas and Graham's first collaboration and was immediately left wanting more -- but concerned that lightning this good surely couldn't strike twice. Book versions of beloved television shows aren't supposed to be this compulsively readable and addictive. But I was -- no surprise -- wrong.

Mr. Kiss-and-Tell is vintage Veronica Mars, delving deep into the seedy underbelly society and stripping away the glossy veneer of Neptune's culture of wealth and privilege. This book is everything I want in a Mars story - dark, twisty plotting, razor-sharp characterizations, nail-biting suspense, and a healthy dose of Logan-related relationship goodness. With a serial rapist as the focus of the central case, this book is necessarily darker in tone, and though difficult at times to read it fits with Veronica's noir-tinged history. This is especially true in how the case is resolved -- when it comes to crime in Neptune, life -- and justice -- is rarely as black-or-white as one might like, instead often meted out in shades of gray.

Woven throughout Veronica's investigation are the wonderful character moments that have come to define the series. Where the first novel focused on Veronica's relationship with Keith, this novel's primary relational focus is on her renewed romance with Logan. The exploration of the struggles facing military couples was brutally real and honest, and I absolutely adore where this series of novels is taking these characters that I love so much -- it's the next best thing until the next film, eh Rob Thomas? )

Veronica's relationship with Logan is a piercing ray of light in her shadowy world. It's a hope this natural born cynic with a marshmallow-soft heart will need to survive in the ever-evolving world of Neptune's criminal and social whirl. This series is a masterclass in how to do tie-in fiction right -- compelling stories, pitch-perfect characters, and chilling suspense -- and I need more, as the opportunity to live within Veronica's world for a brief span will never, ever grow old.
I'm going to assume if you're reading this, you're a fan of the series and you've seen the movie. (Or should I say *first* movie, on the assumption there will be more?) The book picks up a couple of months after the movie left off, with Logan deployed and Veronica having decided to forget about a law career in New York and stay in Neptune to go back to her addiction, PI work.

Keith is still recovering from the serious car crash and there are nothing but crickets for Mac and Veronica at Mars Investigations. But then the Chamber of Commerce hires them to investigate the spring break disappearance of a college girl, since it's become a national cause celèbre, bad for Neptune's businesses, and Sheriff Lamb is clearly not competent to do the job.

Just as in the series and the movie, Veronica dives in, calling on her cadre of friends, like Mac and Wallace, to help out with legwork and the high-level technical stuff. The mystery is on a par with what we're used to, with the added benefit of a major plot twist that Veronica runs into during the investigation and that rocks her back on her heels.

As a book, of course this was somewhat less heavy on the dialog than a film/TV script. That makes sense, but it did mean there wasn't quite as much of that snarky patter that we all love. It's there, definitely, just less of it. The big thing for LoVe 'shippers is that since Logan is deployed, he's not as big a factor as you'd like. But his absence gives Veronica a chance to think hard about all the changes in her life and their implications, and for Veronica and Keith to deal with them.

Although I'd preordered the book, when I found out that the audiobook was read by Kristen Bell, I had to have it. It was like all those nights watching the show, to have Kristen Bell's voice in my ear, reading the story. Of course she's great as herself, but she's surprisingly good at giving voices to all the other characters.

The verdict It's not a pony, but it's a good gift.
