About this listen

Dead in bed? Who you gonna call?

Good Catholic school girl that she is, Brandy Alexander’s a true and trusted friend, not to mention something of a detective. So, when Brandy’s best friend Julia, the ex-stripper-turned-hotelier, finds her first guest covered in blood, lying half on and half off a broken bed, with Julia’s panties swinging from the chandelier, she gets Brandy on the horn.

Cool-hand Brandy assesses the situation and carries out the only sensible course of action: First, she makes a pot of coffee, then she calls the police. Brandy then finds herself in a big, fat, pouffy-skirted Italian wedding! While Brandy enlists the help of her new beau, Jiff, to try to keep Julia out of the slammer, Brandy’s oldest school chum is getting married, and with 18 bridesmaids, Brandy can’t escape being recruited and partnered with...who else? Her favorite upstanding member of NOLA’s finest, Dante.

The suspense mounts, romance blossoms, and Jiff, a hundred percent class act, is looking more and more like Mr. Right with his own Schnauzer and a soft spot for Brandy’s three. But Dante makes it clear that he doesn’t plan to go quietly. The former Mr. Right Next Door has a few very sexy moves he’s been holding in reserve, which knock Brandy’s socks and her panties off!!

With this one, Brandy’s fast becoming a female sleuth extraordinaire with a big, easy flair, and cozy fans will be delighted to find her humor and style a bit reminiscent of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum. Fans of Stephanie Bond, Jana DeLeon, Joan Hess, Lisa Lutz, Sarah Strohmeyer, and Elaine Viets may also find a kindred spirit in this New Orleans dawlin!

Dead by morning

I enjoyed this book. This is book two in the series and I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first book. The stories 're stand alone books, so you don't need to listen to them in order but I think it helps if you do. I like the bright and colourful characters and the author describes it so well that it is easy to picture walk down the streets of New Orleans or at least attending a wedding there. The mystery was good, which kept you guessing and the wedding plans and event added a light humours element to the book. I can't wait to start the next book.
Brandy gets a panicked phone call from her best friend Julia, on the day her new bed and breakfast establishment is to open she wakes up to find her first guest dead in bed. He was murdered and Julia's dress covered in blood is found in a near by dumpster. Julia has no idea what went on the previous night and as the police keep catching her in lies or half truths she quickly becomes the prime suspect. Brandy knows her best friend didn't kill him but each time Julia opens her mouth She incriminate herself even more. If only Brandy could find a way to get out of being the maid of honour at an old Scholl friends wedding, so she could spend more time investigating. At least the dress the bride choose for the bridesmaids to wear should bring Julia out of funk and constant worry of being arrested. The dead man had his own problems and should be providing the police with plenty of suspects but when it is found out his girlfriend goes missing the same night he dies the best lead seems to have vanished leaving Julia to face the rap. Can Brandy clear her name or will having her boyfriend met her parents for the first time cause to much of a distraction? And what about her ex boyfriend the cop in charge of arresting Julia? Is there still some sparks left in that relationship?
I liked the narrator and thought she did a good job with the voices and accents needed in the story.

Sleuthing New Orleans style

A young woman is having trouble choosing which man she would rather be with...a cop she's known all her life and both of their families are sure they will marry, or an attorney she recently met who is making her feel like a Princess. Decisions...decisions. What's a girl to do? To top it all off her friend has been accused of murder...again! Fantastically narrated in perfect N'awlins style!
