I love the details about vintage typewriters and books. What a fun setting! I hope the author writes many more in this series. ( )

I always enjoy Paige Shelton's cozies. She write a great backdrop, mostly interesting characters, if sometimes a little, tiny bit wooden, and generally plots a decent mystery. This is the third series of hers I've read, I think, and though I liked the characters in her ghost series better, the setting for this series is my favorite so far. A shop that focuses on all things related to traditional printing: a replica Gutenberg press, bespoke stationary, book and typewriter repairs. Set in a ski resort town in Utah. It just sounds like an amazing way to earn a living.

The mystery in this one should have been obvious to me, but somehow it wasn't. I might not have been paying attention, or it might've been just good writing on Shelton's part. I'm inclined to give her the credit. A solid, dependable series in the cozy genre. ( )

Clare Henry is back, and I can honestly say I enjoyed everything but the mystery. The cool information on fonts and spending time with characters I like, that got me through til the end. The mystery, sad to say, was boring. And then she goes and leaves you with a major cliffhanger so you’ll read the next one. ( )

The Dangerous Type Mystery Series has quickly become my favorite cozy mystery series. I haven't enjoyed a cozy mystery series to this degree since reading Jenn McKinlay's Hat Shop Mysteries and this time for completely different reasons and that alone is delightful. I was first attracted to this series for purely nostalgic reasons:

• remembering when I first learned to type on a manual typewriter
• moving on to the electric typewriter in personal typing class in 11th grade
• all the related idiosyncrasies of typing on the actual typewriter equipment I've used from manual to electric to electric with ease of correction features
• all-nighters with a college roommate, an English major, required to turn in many typed compositions but she didn't know how to type

However, in reading the 3rd novel in the series and returning to Star City, Utah and specifically to “The Rescued Word” with Clare, Chester, Marion, and Baskerville (fur face resident extraordinaire) I found a higher level of mystery than usual to cozy mysteries (or perhaps I say that as there were only a few suspects and I didn't solve the crime). And amazingly, there's a cliff-hanger that will captivate my imagination until the next novel in the series appears.

This novel was dedicated to Phyllis A. Whitney. I think if Ms. Whitney would have had the opportunity to read this novel, she would have been quite pleased. As a Phyllis Whitney fan as well, I know that I am. ( )

Comic Sans Murder is the third book in the A Dangerous Type Mystery series.

Another enjoyable visit to Star City, UT and all the snowy activities they have.

Clare’s niece, Marion, while out snowboarding notices a skier off to the side of the run and stop to see if needs help. He appears not to be hurt too badly but is shaken up by the fact that he has found a ski boot with a foot still in it.

Meanwhile, a young man is attempting to deliver three Hoovens, an early typewriter/computer, which are very valuable. He says that Lloyd Gavin had hired him to deliver them to Clare. Clare remembers Gavin form junior high but has not heard anything from since then. Soon there is a body found that is later to identified Gavin.

Also going on at The Rescued Word, Clare is having to deal with famous horror author Nathan Grimes. Grimes wants to self-publish a book of his poetry. That is he wants to set the type and print the book himself. This is a bit of a bother for Clare and her grandfather, but he is so nice that they agree to let proceed. ( )
