An Odelia Grey Mystery

review 1: Odelia Grey, fifty-something, plus-sized paralegal, has her estranged mother visiting for Thanksgiving. Her husband’s cousin Ina, who shows up for Thanksgiving dinner without her husband, and with ugly bruises, clearly has marital problems. A few days after Thanksgiving, Odelia, her mother, and Ina attend a storage auction to get bargains for Ina’s second-hand store. To their horror, Ina’s husband’s body is found in the unit they are bidding on. Ina is arrested for the murder and Odelia steps in to find the truth behind the dead guy’s killer. Ina won’t tell the police anything, so Odelia and Mom start asking pointed questions. Suddenly, dangerous accidents begin to happen, way too close to Odelia and her mother. Who is behind the murder and the accidents, and w... moreho was the guy shacked up with? Hopefully, Odelia can find out before she becomes another corpse in a storage unit.This is the eighth book in this series and I found it to be charming and quite funny. Odelia is a heroine that I can enjoy reading about and she isn’t one of those protagonists who are too perfect to love.I look forward to getting the other books in the series and enjoying more of Odelia’s adventures. Sue Ann Jaffarian writes a clever, winning tale with lots of laughs along the way. Congrats, Sue Ann, you’ve got a great series going!Reviewed by Holly Price author of “At Death’s Door”
review 2: Secondhand Stiff (The Odelia Grey Mysteries) 5.0 out of 5 stars Top of the line, December 13, 2013 This review is from: Secondhand Stiff (The Odelia Grey Mysteries) (Kindle Edition) My question is when can I move in with Odelia & Greg? That's how much I love this series and the author didn't disappoint with this latest entry.Odelia's Mother is in the building...building being Odelia & Greg's home. And she's afoot...or rather sleuthing away with Odelia. They're delving into the unknown and dangerous realm of a murder together. A bonding starts to take shape and Odelia hears words from her Mom that heals wounds she never thought possible to heal.Greg's in it with all his usual gusto and the trio soon find themselves wrapped up in a murder mystery that has layers of illegal activity. But who is behind it all?I loved and appreciated the way in which the author weaves in the love of pets in this story. It adds an important dimension to Odelia, Greg and their immediate friends & family.Beautifully written, held my interest to the end. Love this series and the characters. less
