Death Notice is a mystery novel written by Todd Ritter. His debut novel, it is the first entry in the Kat Campbell series.
Reception
[edit]Kirkus Reviews opined that Ritter "has enough experience with both crime and obituaries to pen a convincingly blood-soaked debut novel."[1] Jean Graham of The Star-Ledger called it a "well-wrought mystery with an abundance of twists, turns and red herrings."[2] Publishers Weekly wrote that while the action "verges on pulp fiction melodrama" and the conclusion "fully lives up—or down—to that standard", Ritter "treats his main characters—sympathetic, believably vulnerable people—with respect."[3] Stephanie Zvirin of Booklist called it a "well-wrought mystery with an abundance of twists, turns and red herrings."[4]
