January 1, 2010
A California paralegal gets more that she bargained for when she travels to New England for a surprise family reunion.
Four months after her father's death, Odelia Grey (Booby Trap, 2009, etc.) gets an upsetting 50th birthday present: a cardboard box of Dad's mementos containing an envelope addressed to him by his ex-wife, the mother who walked out on Odelia when she was 16 and is now living in New England under the name Grace Littlejohn. Urged by husband Greg, Odelia flies to Holmesbury, Mass., where she finds Grace kneeling beside a dead body in the middle of a corn maze at the Autumn Fair. Phoning the police just complicates Odelia's life. The first officer on the scene is Grady Littlejohn, Grace's younger son and Odelia's younger brother, and the chief of police is Clark Littlejohn, Grace's older son and Odelia's older brother. Worried Greg, who knows that sorting out this family tree will take brains, summons fugitive criminal mastermind Willie Proctor to Holmesbury. But even Willie's shrewd mind can't protect Odelia from Buster and Clem Brown, whose produce-stand drug business is seriously disrupted by her sleuthing. As the body count rises, Grace stonewalls, and Odelia has to figure out whom her not-very-maternal mom loves enough to protect.
A trip to the East Coast blows a refreshing fall breeze through Odelia's fifth. So does the switch of focus from workplace woes to family drama.(COPYRIGHT (2010) KIRKUS REVIEWS/NIELSEN BUSINESS MEDIA, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.)

After her father's death, plus-sized Odelia Grey travels to Holmsbury, MA, where her long-lost mother is living. Odelia has not been in the small town for a minute before she finds a corpse and her mother kneeling beside it. VERDICT Like its predecessors, this fifth series title (after "Booby Trap") is a delight. For all of her fast talking, smart reasoning, and the great group of supporters she gathers along the way, Odelia deals with some very human feelings and insecurities that add to her appeal. Fans of cozies and amateur sleuth mysteries will enjoy her latest adventure.Copyright 2010 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

December 21, 2009
In Jaffarian's delightful fifth cozy to feature supersized sleuth Odelia Grey (after 2009's Booby Trap
), Odelia wanders into a whole crop of trouble when she discovers her long-lost mom, Grace, bent over a dead body in a Massachusetts corn maze. Surely Grace is no killer, but the woman's ornery refusal to speak has plenty of the local folks wondering. There's no mushy reconciliation after 34 years, but Odelia realizes her mom needs her, and she's determined to glean the truth from a growing list of highly questionable characters. Odelia soon gets another shock: the discovery that she has two half-brothers, both cops and neither overly excited to meet her. Enter Willie Proctor (aka Carter)—fugitive, con man, and dependable friend—to keep an eye on Odelia and help return her safely home to California, but not before bringing in Greg, her handsome paraplegic husband, as backup. Jaffarian keeps getting better and better at blending humor, suspense, and romance.
