I thought this book was very entertaining and difficult to put down.  The small town life situations of a unique area of the country elevated the storyline over similar books.  The mystery aspect had just the right number of twists and turns.  It is a comfortable read without feeling too easy.

I really enjoyed this movie. There is a bit of violence, as is typical in a spy action thriller, but there was also a good amount of comedy. When this movie was over, I was glad that I rented it. Definitely worth the price of admission for an evenings entertainment.

Excellent premise, some mystery, well developed characters, the right dosage of humor and an engaging development of the action. I will tell no more: just read it!

I loved this story.  The mystery kept me guessing to the end and I enjoyed the humor and the diverse cast of characters with all their relationship issues.

Like the other Shayne films I've seen - those released in the boxset enigmatically called, Michael Shayne Mysteries Volume 1 (Hey 20th Century Fox! Where's volume 2?!), Dressed to Kill is a fast paced murder mystery full of humor and action. Micheal Shayne is about to finally get married to long time girlfriend and showgirl, Joanne La Marr (Mary Beth Hughes), only to be interrupted by a blood-curdling scream which sucks Mike willingly back into the detective business (only to make some dough for his new bride-to-be, of course).  There's plenty of humor, twists and turns, and mysterious passages to follow, as Mike tries to solve a bizarre double murder that may have it's roots burried deep in the dark past of a theater production troop, most of whom are dead and burried.  A+ for Micheal Shayne fans.

The quality of the print used is very nice; the blacks are deep and vivid; there appears to be almost no print damage or age-related grain; the audio is perfect.  Recommended big time.

Emily Castles Mysteries are fun, humorous and intriguing. You can't help but get drawn into the mysteries that Emily undertakes. It's like Scooby Doo or Nancy Drew, Emily gets the help of her neighbour, Dr Muriel and together they search for clues to discover the culprit to the murders.

Emily's work contract has ended and her neighbour across the road, Victoria, needs some help at her drama school, Showstoppers. While returning mail to Victoria, Emily is unloaded with details of "poison pen" letters that have arrived trying to threaten Victoria about a long ago filmed video that apparently killed a man. With another mystery on her hands, Emily agrees to help Victoria at Showstoppers and help discover who is sending these elusive letters. During the end of term performance a murder is committed and there are several possibilities as to "who did it". Emily and Dr Muriel take it upon themselves to find the clues and the culprit. What is the old boyfriend from the video or the landlord trying to sell the building? Perhaps it is Victoria seeking attention or the handyman Dizzy?

In both of these novellas, all of the characters are strong, personable people that everyone can relate to. Emily and Dr Muriel are determined, sticky-nose characters, that like to get into everybody's business in order to solve the mystery at hand. With Dr Muriel's analytical approach and Emily's thoughtful, intellectual methods, they both make a fantastic team to solve the mysteries. I enjoyed Showstoppers more than Three Sisters, as it was faster paced and the mystery began towards the beginning of the book, which allowed more mystery and more time to think about the suspects. Overall this is a great series with well written, light and funny mysteries.

I gave this five stars because it made me laugh.  It was also a
pretty interesting mystery with some exciting action.  Only problem... a little long.

Would recommend to folks who enjoy humor and/or mystery.

I really enjoyed this film.  The actors are great and the comedy between the two and other actors is wonderful.  It felt as if Kathleen Turner and Dennis Quaid were really married in real life because the chemistry between them is so realistic.  They are very resourceful at thinking on their toes and making split decisions quickly.  The plot is great and the comedic action will keep you interested all the way through.  The action builds up nicely for a terrific ending.  I would definitely recommend this film.  It will remind you of other comedic crime capers such as I Love Trouble with Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte.

An excellent (fast paced) mystery with a little humor added to the mix. There's a great cast with Grable, Mature and Cregar in top form. It was good to see Grable in a (rare) serious role, which she handled with ease. Film and sound quality was excellent. Don't hesitate to buy it!

If you like comedy, and if you like action, this is a good movie for you. If you liked 21 Jump Street, you will like this too.

This book is entertaining with its action and humor both. There are characters both funny and courageous, not to mention the much hated bad guys. The world comes to life through the eyes of the characters, which the reader is allowed to see through generously. Not to mention hearing through their ears, and tasting all the flavors this land has to offer. (It even says that there is a music CD coming soon, that the author wrote all the songs for.)
  One of the main characters being a bard with very funny songs he sings in the book, Im looking forward to that CD. Though, I also am looking forward to the next installment of the Siege Trilogy, because some of the warriors in it have captured my attention and I want to know what will happen to them next. After all they are in the middle of a war. The fights are action filled and the character interaction is realistically witty. And who could resist the Scran'lloyds?
  All in all, I would recommend this book to anyone that reads; especially if they like fantasy, comedy, medieval history, or just enjoy a good yarn. I for one hope this author has a long and prolific career; and hurries up with the next installment of the 'Siege Trilogy'.

Good action entertainment. I absolutely adore the new casting and the way the new stories are being developed. Each of the characters are being well developed, consistent with the performances of the past movies and shows. This movie plays well with the re-write of "The Wrath of Khan and some of the moments from The Search for Spock". All in all, good clean fun, lots of action, the actors are enjoyable in their roles, and the sets are awesome.
