This Fat Lady Doesn't Sing-She Tells Jokes 24 Jun 2003
By mark munger - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Mannie Grand is a large woman with a big heart and a keen mind. She's also a stand up comedian who ends up investigating the murder of one of her cohorts. Cleverly written so that gags and humor don't intrude upon the mystery and the plot, this book is a fast summer read. It's not Tolstoy but I didn't expect it to be. The dialogue is the selling point of this tale. The folks talk and act like real Minnesotans (without the corney "Fargo" dialect). The ending seemed to wind up a little too fast for my liking, sort of like "Murder She Wrote" on speed. But maybe I just wanted to remain in Mannie's world for a while longer.
A very satisfying read.

Not funny 20 Jan 2012
By Dierdra Byrd - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am such a cover snob and this cover is horrible, but it has two of my favorite things! Stand up comedy and a murder mystery, (oh and it was free) so I had to read this book!
I was so let down!! The jokes in this book were not even a little funny and the one liners and the main character were ok at best but not enough to get you anywhere near laughing. The murder mystery part of the book was also a let down. It was not good and please get someone to edit this book because it was horrible with typos, wrong words used etc!
I did not hate the book but it needs a lot of work and if you are looking for a humor book or even a good murder mystery keep looking there are so many much better books out there that can give you both!

Stand Up For Mannie Grand 6 May 2001
By Franny - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
We have all found a new heroine in Mannie Grand. She is down-to-earth and so honest with herself, her humor alone will keep you turning page after page through the twists and turns of this well-plotted mystery in the world of local stand-up comedy. I hope Mannie Grand will be around for years to come. Like the author's first book, Hotdish To Die For, this is a keeper!
