I enjoy cozy mysteries, and this one is no exception. I liked the cast of characters, and the storyline kept me guessing.

Odessa Jones is a recent widow who is gathering a family of her own to care for. She does have and aunt or two with similar psychic gifts which can be alarming and dreadful. She comes into contact with some truly awful members of a local family through her work as a baker/real estate agent and that leads to finding a murder or two as well as other people she knew in high school. The plot is complex and addictive, the characters are so well done I expected to meet them locally. And talk about plot twists and red herrings! I loved it!
I requested and received a free ebook copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

A brilliantly executed cozy mystery, A Fatal Glow kept me guessing until the very end.

In this book 2, we find recently widowed Odessa Jones is confident that the recent catering job she has obtained from wealthy businessman Casey Osborne is the ticket to growing her business.

So when her second sight warns her that Osborne is bad news, she ignores it. She wishes she hadn’t when he drops dead at his brunch after sampling her homemade preserves. Osborne’s death is declared a homicide.and now she is a suspect.

A delightful read and one I highly recommend.

Odessa Jones is a delightful character and I've really come to enjoy the family she's created for herself.
Seeing glows, or shimmers, is a gift Odessa is learning to live with, but it doesn't always work to her advantage.
She's also a caterer who finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation, and the plot is just wicked enough to be true.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
