Publisher Description
When Odelia's mother Grace and her friend Art ask her to investigate the disappearance of one of their neighbors in their retirement community, Odelia is far from excited. Until she learns that his name is Boaz Shankleman, known decades ago as Bo Shank, the lead singer in one of Odelia's favorite bands from her college days. What she believes will be a simple explanation for Boaz's absence turns into a bushel of trouble with killers and showdowns with the retirement community's management and Art's daughter, who believe Grace is a bad influence on Art.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Jaffarian's fun, frenzied 11th mystery featuring plucky plus-size paralegal Odelia Grey (after 2015's A Body to Spare), Odelia's mother, Grace, for whom troublemaking is as normal as breathing, is concerned that Boaz Shankleman, a fellow resident of her Long Beach, Calif., retirement community, is missing. Boaz turns out to be the front man of a long-dissolved band that the young Odelia once adored. Others soon get into the act, including Odelia's worried husband, who's away on a business trip; a jilted niece looking for comfort; a woman blamed for breaking up the band; a high-powered attorney who's also Odelia's boss; a corrupt band manager; a security guard with a shady past; an Armenian gang; a housing manager trying to get Grace evicted; and a man with a criminal background who works for good out of the view of the police. Got that? The whole thing is a fluffy m lange of danger, humor, and surprises. Don't worry about logic, just enjoy the ride.
