Corpse on The Cob by Sue Ann Jaffarian is the 5th book in the “Odelia Grey” mystery series. Publisher: Midnight Ink, February 2010
What do you have to lose when you go searching for the mother who walked out of your life thirty-four years ago? I mean besides your pride, your nerves, and your sanity?
Odelia finds herself up to her ears in trouble when she reunites with her mom in a corn maze at the Autumn Fair in Holmsbury, Massachusetts. For starters, there’s finding the dead body in the cornfield—and seeing her long-lost mom crouched beside the corpse with blood on her hands.
This was a good read. Odelia’s first sighting of her mother is over a body. Not again. She finally learns the reason her mother walked out on her and discovers that she has two half-brothers. When her mother is first suspected in the murder, Odelia’s refuses to leave until she proves that her mother is innocent and finds the killer. I can’t wait to read the next book in this fun series. My rating: 4 stars
I love your blog. I am a voracious reader myself and can read a good mystery in a day. I like the lighter side of mystery that provides a good chuckle. I am happy to see that you read some of my favourite authors and have found some that I have not heard of before. I have already ordered some of these new authors. I typically will try to do some searching to find new reads but it looks like you have already done all the work! Keep up with the posts as I do appreciate it.
