Jamie Winters is used to the outrageous in her job as a
legal secretary for the firm of Parker, Dennis. After
all, some of the cases the law firm handles border on the
ridiculous. Psychic reader Dorcas Beeber's case, however,
pushes that edge just a bit further. Unfortunately, Jamie
finds herself smack in the middle of a murder
investigation after the psychic is found dead. Jamie and
her boyfriend's niece, Maizy, will have to team up if
they are to stop Jamie from remaining the prime suspect.
MOTION FOR MALICE is the second book in the Jamie
Winters mystery series but can easily be read as a
standalone story. The murder weapon has to be one of the
most unique ones I've ever seen as Kelly Rey takes full
advantage of having a psychic as her murder victim. I
couldn't help but laugh just a little at the ingenuity.
I love Jamie's character and Maizy is quite a treat. I
have to admit that having a teenager as a sidekick (and
sometimes even the brains behind their capers) took a bit
of adjustment. There were times I wanted to remind Jamie
that she was the adult. Overall, however, I like Maizy
and her character - perhaps even more so than Jamie - so I
started to overlook the age difference.
MOTION FOR MALICE is a fun, slightly wacky cozy mystery
that is pure entertainment. I love how Kelly Rey takes
the ridiculous and makes it seem plausible; the scene
with Elmer had me laughing 'til I cried! If you are
looking for something quirky and laugh out loud funny,
then look no further than MOTION FOR MALICE!
From bestselling mystery author Kelly Rey comes the
second laugh-out-loud installment in her
Jamie Winters Mysteries …
Psychic medium Dorcas Beeber is brash, obnoxious...and
dead. Unfortunately for legal secretary
Jamie Winters, she arrives at the psychic's studio for a
reading only to find the victim
apparently killed by a blow from her own crystal ball.
And things only get worse when Jamie
suddenly finds herself the prime suspect in the murder.
It's clearly a setup, but Jamie's only
clue to the real killer's identity is a black SUV parked
near the scene of the crime.
Desperate and running out of time, Jamie enlists the help
of her landlord's eccentric teenaged
niece, Maizy, as her unlikely sidekick to help wade
through the pool of disgruntled clients, a
family with divided loyalties, a creepy ex-boss, and
incriminating news reports to find the
real killer...before Jamie's future includes a jail cell!
