A great start to this series, can't wait to read more! Odelia doesn't believe it for a minute that her friend Sophie killed herself. There's only one thing this plus sized middle aged woman can do - investigate! It's easy to like Odelia, she smart, no-nonsense and anyone can relate to her. While investigating Sophie's death she encounters a little romance, a little danger and a little intrigue. All in all a very quick and entertaining read. Thankfully all the pet peeves I have were very minor in this book; the only complaint I have is about Odelia's annoying family. Their inclusion had no purpose n the book and really put me off. But I loved the other characters, the plot had a lot of twists and turns (although I figured out whodunit pretty early on) and the ending was satisfying.

Spoiler

There were a few ends left untied, Why was Hollowell's murder and wife's disappearance left dangling?

Plunging headlong into the second book in the series next!
