The Body in the Wetlands

A Jazzi Zanders Mystery, Book Two

De: Judi Lynn

Narrado por: Devon Sorvari

High summer in River Bluffs, Indiana, is always sweltering and sweet. But the heat is really on when a decidedly dead body turns up in the neighborhood.

When established house flippers Jazzi Zanders and her cousin Jerod donate a week’s worth of remodeling work to Jazzi’s sister Olivia, they’re expecting nothing more than back-breaking roofing work and cold beers at the end of each long, hot day. With Jazzi’s live-in boyfriend and partner Ansel on the team, it promises to be a quick break before starting their next big project - until Leo, an elderly neighbor of Olivia’s, unexpectedly goes missing....

When the friendly senior’s dog tugs Jazzi and the guys toward the wetlands beyond Olivia’s neighborhood, they stumble across a decomposing corpse - and a lot of questions. With Jazzi’s pal Detective Gaff along to investigate, Jazzi finds her hands full of a whole new mystery instead of the usual hammer and nails. And this time it will take some sophisticated sleuthing to track down the culprit of the deadly crime - before the killer turns on her next....

Good sleuthing

The sleuthing was good, the story was good and had lots of misdirections, the characters are great, the rehabbing was aces, but it sort of morphed into a romance novel a lot.
The narrator did a very good job.

5 stars

This is very entertaining book with engaging characters and plot. I can't wait for the next one.

love hate relationship

Love this writers style and craft.
hated that the ending of who the killer was has no finesse...48 chapters for the set up and poof!ending done poorly in less than a half of a chapter...I do like this writer and will try the next book in the series as I believe everyone has a bad day...

good writing against a ridiculous plot

I decided to read this novel to see how the author would rationalize the main character being embroiled in a murder in which she had no familial ties to the victims. Every time the detective asked her to accompany him, I asked why. Her constant inclusion in an ongoing murder investigation is farfetched. It was even more farfetched than the average Murder She Wrote plots. Why would anyone keep involving this house flipper in their investigations? What was worse was sloppy wrap up of the murder. I often was lost as to who was the murderer and why? By the time the plot started pointing to the murderer, i didnt care. Basically, the impossible protagonist makes the entire Jazzy Mystery series an insult to the intelligence. I would like to read more from this author, but not from this series.
