But when a viral video shows her coffee shop coworker Bethany falling off a bridge, Odessa gets obsessed. She’s convinced the police aren’t doing enough to solve it. Even though she’s only known Bethany for a few weeks, she visits her roommates, ends up being the one who informs her ex-boyfriend, and even claims her personal possessions from her apartment and hosts her wake. Pros: This book introduces you to a full cast of quirky New Yorkers. They were the best part of the book. Cons: I think this book may have been a bit too “cozy” for me. The mystery didn’t keep me as engaged as I’d hoped. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Odessa Dean is housesitting for her Aunt in Brooklyn. She comes from a very small town in Louisiana so there is culture shock with her new environment. She is lucky enough that her Aunt lives in an awesome apartment. And she finds a job as a waitress in a cafe/book shop. It sounds like she has a charmed life. The mystery begins when her coworker, Bethany, dies in a near by park. The cops rule it an accident, but Odessa believes there is something suspicious about her death. She begins digging into Bethany's life. I like that Odessa was not as irritating a sleuth as some cozy mystery protagonists. She asks a lot of questions, but goes about it in a nice way. The reveal of the murderer is believable and makes sense. I like it when the murderer doesn't come entirely out of left field. My only complaint of Odessa as a character is that she seems too nice and lets too many people take advantage of her. I felt annoyed on her behalf. This is a fun book and Odessa is a great character. I enjoyed reading it and I’m looking forward to reading more in this series. I received an ARC fron NetGalley and the publisher. Brooklyn, law-enforcement, family, friendship, cozy-mystery, situational-humor, verbal-humor, amateur-sleuth***** I've just found my new favorite character, Odessa Dean! It doesn't hurt that she's from the Bayou and the story takes place in Brooklyn, either. In this story she hasn't been in NYC very long, is cat sitting for her aunt in a posh apartment, works in a bookshop/cafe (with the manager from Hades), and firmly believes that one of her new work friends was murdered (in spite of what the police and the coroner say). Now the sleuthing begins complete with plot twists and red herrings! The imagery is terrific, the characters are marvelous, and the humor is just my style. I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Berkley Publishing Group via NetGalley. Thank you! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Mystery.
HTML:It's murder most viral in this debut mystery by Olivia Blacke. Bayou transplant Odessa Dean has a lot to learn about life in Brooklyn. So far she's scored a rent free apartment in one of the nicest neighborhoods around by cat-sitting, and has a new job working at Untapped Books & Café. Hand-selling books and craft beers is easy for Odessa, but making new friends and learning how to ride the subway? Well, that might take her a little extra time. But things turn more sour than an IPA when the death of a fellow waitress goes viral, caught on camera in the background of a couple's flash-mob proposal video. Nothing about Bethany's death feels right to Odessa??neither her sudden departure mid-shift nor the clues that only Odessa seems to catch. As an up-and-coming YouTube star, Bethany had more than one viewer waiting for her to fall from grace. Determined to prove there's a killer on the loose, Odessa takes matters into her own hands. But can she pin down Bethany's killer before they take Odessa offline for Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
