I received a notice from the author that the book was available, immediately took a look at the product page and was drawn by the cover and the title.I am a writer of historical fiction, and I rarely read romance novels, but I did read High Seas Deception and was pleasantly surprised. Having just finished touching up my own fourth novel, I downloaded "Dead Girl in a Green Dress" looking for a diversion, and I read it in a single sitting. There was just the right balance between mystery and romance to keep me interested. The attacks on Byrony are a bit contrived, but less so because of the off season resort setting on one of the Great Lakes.The reluctance of cops to stir things up also makes sense because of the setting. In this genre, the book is worthy of a five, because it does exactly what a romance novel is supposed to do--it is good escapist romance with sex that steams but does not overboil. It left me feeling satisfied and yes, entertained. Now I can get back to work researching my next tome and hope that by the time I am finished, "Aunt Cindy" McCary will have a couple of similar good book waiting to help me with my winddown. And yes, the title and cover do fit the plot. No twenty-year old girl in this century would go to a tryst at a beach resort in an Oscar de la Renta. Cut-25 or Young, Fabulous and Broke,yes, but not in a de la Renta. And those little touches really make a difference to the credibility of a writer.

The setting is what drew me to this mystery, which didn't disappoint. I didn't like the hero at the beginning and thought he was a chauvinist jerk, but as the story progressed, he changed and I ended up liking him. There were enough red herrings to keep me guessing as to who the murderer was. There are 3 consummated love scenes and I prefer those to take place off screen, but it didn't detract from the story. A quick and easy murder mystery to read on a rainy day.

Intriguing mystery set in an iconic location - Mackinac Island and the Grand Hotel. A young woman ends up murdered and her sister is determined to find the perpetrator. She hires a hunky detective – the brother of her best friend – to help her solve the crime. There are plenty of suspects to go around and plenty of sizzle between the couple. Great romantic suspense.

Story moved along well. The writer paced events just fast enough. If you have been to Mackinac Island, you knew where the location was. The author did a great job describing the Island.

It started as a good murder mystery then veared off into a smutt novel then came back around to the mystery. If it had stayed out of the smutt it would have been a great read.

Well written characters with setting a definite character in this romantic mystery.

A fast read with enough plot twists to keep you entertained. I am going to look for others by this writer; I am hoping there is a series.
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2013
After reading all the reviews, I really expected something special. Unfortunately, this one wasn't. I didn't care for either of the main characters, nor the writing style. Our 'heroine' was too brash for me and I couldn't work up any sympathy for her. Our P.I. was too unprofessional right from the start. I found him very off-putting. The mystery was rather 'seen one, seen them all'. I didn't see all the twists and turns others did. It was a very easy read, though.

If you like very uncomplicated mysteries and very easy, fast reading, this book is right for you. It just wasn't a good book, in my opinion and I wouldn't buy another book from this author.

Dead girl in a Green Dress by Loucinda McGary is a fun, suspense-filled story with plenty of heat set in a great setting (Mackinac Island). A real page turner!
