Matilda Dare can't sleep. Her insomnia is one more reason to move to the quirky small town of Goodnight, New Mexico after she inherits a house, a small newspaper, and two old dogs there. But despite the Goodnight name, Matilda still spends her nights wide awake, and she has good reason after a reporter is murdered. With a mystery to solve, she begins to investigate the town and uncovers more suspects than she knows what to do with. Meanwhile, the hottie cowboy sheriff is doing his own investigation into Matilda, and the mysterious, handsome stranger, who just happens to live with her, is showing up in all the wrong places. As her investigation continues, danger increases, and it might end up spelling lights out for Matilda.Die Noon is the first installment in the hilarious, romantic Goodnight Mysteries series and a spinoff of the Matchmaker Mysteries.

Elise Sax has a knack for a quirky sense of humor and witty dialogue, and Die Noon is one of her funniest stories. The story is funny right from the start with Matilda Dare's tongue-in-cheek wit a humorous highlight of the mystery. Sax opens the story with Matilda's quirky tone using comments such as "I see dead people" and following it with "literal dead bodies." The humor is at times embarrassingly funny with naked torsos that seem to be flung at her and a certain pool incident that left her feeling mortified on her first reporter mission. She's a character that you can easily identify as she's the newcomer trying to fit into this close-knit smalltown, learn how to become a reporter, and run the paper she now owns.
The story has an intriguing subplot that finds a mysterious girl that appears to be a storyline that will thread into other books in the series. Every character in the town serves a purpose from this mysterious girl to every Goodnight that seems to appear. Every place Matilda goes seems to bring out another midnight from the sheriff to her handsome roommate to the youngest member of the paper's staff. Goodnights are everywhere in the town and it makes for a delightful running gag throughout the story. Homage to New Mexico's quirky history is paid with the town having several theories about aliens that come from die-hard believers and some whacky ideas. Sax has created a rich tradition and history for this town that stems from its characters and brings it to life.
Sax has created a town that has a small-town vibe, an alien obsession, and just a slight murder problem that will make you want to return long after the mystery ends. Cozy in its finest element, Die Noon is charming, laugh-out-loud funny, quirky, and delightful. ( )
