Meghan Scott Molin's The Frame-up is a fun, fast paced mystery that embraces the world of Geekdom. I loved the way Meghan casually tossed geek knowledge throughout the book while explaining things in a way that feels like a good friend has just let me in on the ubercool inside joke.
Our main character is comic book writer/costume designer Michael-Grace Martin, who insists on being called MG because life is tough enough without being a girl called Michael all the time. She's spunky, funny, and a tad sarcastic. On a day when she's running late for work and the line at the coffee shop is long enough to make a man weep, she sees a picture of a crime scene that reminds her of a frame from an old classic comic. After she casually mentioned it to the hipster in front of her, she puts it out of her mind. That is, until the hipster turns out to be a cop who wants her help to him solve who is the "Golden Arrow". What MG didn't expect when she accepts is that she will be drawn into a decades old murder mystery, be framed as the "Golden Arrow", expose a corrupt cop/druglord, grow closer to her co-workers and fall in love with the Hipster cop who is totally not her type.
This book was a gem. I recommend it to anyone who is even just a little bit of a fangirl/fanboy. You don't want to miss it. Also, this book is going on my "Should be a Movie" list.
