For all the big girls out there who know they are every bit
as smart, brave and creative as the skinny gals, there is a
wonderful mystery series that features a big, beautiful
amateur sleuth who can catch the bad guys with the best of
em'.
Sue Ann Jaffarian's mystery series features Odelia Grey,a
paralegal from California who seems to have a knack for
stumbling into murder after murder. Confident, sassy and
smart, Odelia is a charming lady that readers are sure to
love and admire.
Sue Ann has written four delightful mysteries involving
Odelia (TOO BIG TO MISS, THE CURSE OF THE HOLY PAIL, THUGS
AND KISSES, BOOBY TRAP, with the fifth in the series,
CORPSE ON THE COB just released.
In this lively romp of a story, Odelia sets out to find her
estranged mother, who had abandoned her years ago. But she
was not bargaining for the shock of finding dear old Mom
bent over a dead body in the middle of a corn maze! As the
police arrive, Odelia is in for a shock - the chief of
police and one of the officers are actually her half-
brothers! Will the surprises ever stop? Not when Odelia is
involved!
As she noses around, attempting to find out what's going on
in the small Massachusetts town and how her mother is
involved, Odelia may find herself well over her head as she
tries to clear her mother's name. With help from her dear
friend (and fugitive) Willie and her loving husband Greg
(who is a paraplegic, but just as keen to solve a good
mystery as his adorable wife), the threesome roam the
countryside turning up clues and harvesting a good crop of
suspects.
Suspenseful and thrilling, with just the right dash of
humor and romance CORPSE ON THE COB is a charming,
entertaining mystery. Jaffarian draws upon her own
background as a paralegal to give her character of Odelia
the realistic legal background and knowledge to make her
extremely believable. And as a full-figured lady herself,
Jaffarian's outlook on style and challenges give just the
right emotional touchs that endears Odelia to the reader as
well as makes her fascinating.
CORPSE ON THE COB is delightful as a stand-alone book, but
readers will find themselves looking for the previous books
in the Odelia Grey series, to have more fun with Odelia,
and they'll be glad they did! Jaffarian is also the author
of THE GHOST OF GRANNY APPLES mystery series (the first
book, GHOST ALA MODE was released September, 2009) and is
working on a series of vampire-inspired mystery series, the
first of which is due out this fall. Her "Odelia Grey"
series has been optioned for film and TV rights, so who
knows? -- we might see Odelia on the big or small screen one
day!
What do you have to lose when you go searching for the
mother who walked out of your life thirty-four years ago?
I mean besides your pride, your nerves, and your sanity?
Odelia finds herself up to her ears in trouble when she
reunites with her mom in a corn maze at the Autumn Fair in
Holmsbury, Massachusetts. For starters, there’s finding
the dead body in the cornfield—and seeing her long-lost
mom crouched beside the corpse with blood on her
hands . . .
