Thugs and Kisses - An Odelia Gray Book Review
Thursday, June 12th, 2008I really enjoyed reading Thugs and Kisses by Sue Ann Jaffarian.
Odelia Gray is a plus size amatuer slueth who seems to get into trouble everywhere she goes.
How many people do you know who’ve gotten into a brawl at the market and end up getting whacked in the eye with a leg of lamb?
Or who attend their high school reunion only to have their high school nemesis murdered - and end up teaming up with the next most likely suspect to clear their names in this murder and solve another mystery - the disappearance of Odelia’s boss.
Thugs and Kisses is the third of the Odelia Gray mysteries, and I can’t wait to read the first two.
It’s refreshing to read about people who aren’t cookie cutter perfect, and it’s refreshing to read mysteries that deal with some of the problems that would occur if the books were real, instead of just glossing over them.
After all - how do you think you’d really feel if your friend/sister/lover/mother/father kept finding bodies and almost got killed every week.
That would definitely take a toll on the relationship, don’t you think?
