Too Big to Die
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
Viral videos and dangerous criminals turn Odelia and Greg's good deed into accusations of murder
It's the dog days of summer for Odelia and Greg after they rescue a dog from a closed car on a blistering hot day. The culprit is former reality star Marla Kingston, who's married to a client of Odelia's law firm. The dog was saved, but Odelia's job might not be when Kingston demands blood. Things get even stickier when a video of the rescue goes viral, and the man who helped them winds up dead. And who is the mysterious young woman who shows up about the same time? Is she connected or just an opportunist looking to cash in on their reluctant Internet fame?
Praise for the Odelia Grey Mysteries:
"[A] delightful series."—Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine"[A] witty series with its quirky, well-drawn characters."—Booklist
"Balancing her professional skills as a paralegal with her self-doubt as a sleuth, Odelia is one of the most believable amateur detectives in recent fiction. Beautifully plotted and carefully crafted, this is a marvelous start to an exciting new series. Strongly recommended."—Library Journal"Plus-size reading pleasure—try this one on!" —Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author

A trip to the grocery store for plus-size L.A. paralegal Odelia Gray and her husband, Greg Stevens, turns into a rescue mission in Jaffarian’s satisfying 12th Odelia Grey mystery (after 2016’s Rhythm and Clues) when they spot a pooch sweltering in a locked car. Greg takes a crowbar to the car window, much to the displeasure of the dog’s owner, former reality TV star Marla Kingston. Worse, Marla is married to powerful and vindictive businessman Kelton Kingston, the biggest client of Templin & Tobin, the law firm where Odelia works, and he demands that the firm fire Odelia or it will lose his business. Hurt and outraged when she’s put on leave, Odelia considers walking away from it all—until one of the men who helped rescue the dog is shot to death in front of Greg’s business. With the help of her best friend, Zee Washington, and a vlogger known only as Human Stain, Odelia discovers an unsavory web of blackmail, adultery, and murder, leading to a shocking, yet touching, ending. Smart, funny, good-hearted Odelia is the kind of friend anyone would love to have. Agent: Whitney Lee, Fielding Agency.
