About this listen

Sometimes even good luck can mean bad fortune. For Odessa Jones—reluctant psychic, part-time caterer, full-time realtor—an elegant affair turned deadly threatens her reputation, and her life . . .

Recently widowed Odessa Jones is sure the exclusive catering job she's scored from wealthy businessman Casey Osborne will propel her catering career into the big leagues. So when Dessa's pesky second sight warns her that Osborne is bad news, she ignores it. She wishes she hadn't when he drops dead at his brunch after sampling her homemade preserves. Osborne's death is declared a homicide. Dessa and the friends who helped her cook are considered suspects . . .

To clear her name and find the truth, Dessa delves into Casey Osborne's life. Everyone from his sinister business partner to his tormented ex-wife has reason to kill him—and the opportunity to do it. With the help of her spirited aunt, loyal coworkers, and mischievous cat Juniper, she desperately searches for answers. Until a second murder leads Dessa down a frightening path filled with insidious hidden agendas—and someone poised to change her life forever.

The second book on the Odessa Jones series carries the story on a year from the events of the first book. And yet again, death seems to follow her around (she can name most of the cops in the department). It’s nice to see how the characters have progressed and would definitely listen to the next in the series. An easy listen to have on whilst doing other things, but the characters (especially Aunt Phoenix) feel realistically flawed and are more likeable for it. Great for cozy crime fans

A great easy listen ❤️
