Mr. Kiss and Tell

Author: Rob Thomas & Jennifer Graham
Series: Veronica Mars #2
Genre: Mystery, Drama
Release Date: January 20, 2015

Summary: The Neptune Grand has always been the seaside town’s ritziest hotel, despite the shady dealings and high-profile scandals that seem to follow its elite guests. When a woman claims that she was brutally assaulted in one of its rooms and left for dead by a staff member, the owners know that they have a potential powder keg on their hands. They turn to Veronica to disprove—or prove—the woman's story.

The case is a complicated mix of hard facts, mysterious occurrences, and uncooperative witnesses. The hotel refuses to turn over its reservation list and the victim won’t divulge who she was meeting that night. Add in the facts that the attack happened months ago, the victim’s memory is fuzzy, and there are holes in the hotel’s surveillance system, and Veronica has a convoluted mess on her hands. As she works to fill in the missing pieces, it becomes clear that someone is lying—but who? And why?

Review: I love Veronica Mars. And this novel was even better than the first, mystery wise. It was more intriguing and well put together, I thought. There was a lot more language, which I did not appreciate, but overall it didn't take too much away from the story itself.

Mr. Kiss and Tell was the perfect second installment (and hopefully not last) in this series. The gang is back together again (by gang I really just mean Mac and Wallace) and certain characters we met briefly in season two of the television series have found their way back into our lives. And Veronica finally gets her pony! :) Oh, and my favorite part, LOGAN IS BACK!!! Seriously, if you don't like Veronica and Logan, then I just don't even know what to do with you. 

This mystery was written wonderfully. I love that Rob has continued writing Veronica's story. Although the series has ended and there are no plans for another movie, you can read these books and envision the way the episodes would play out. This mystery is unique and has that classic V Mars stamp of approval on it. Enjoyed this thoroughly, but kept the rating at 4 stars because of the language (as stated above). 

The only problem with reading these books . . . it makes me want to go and re-watch the entire series . . . catch you guys later!
