Susie Black’s Death by Jellybeans is deliciously deadly. Wickedly witty. Murderously funny. Black will keep you guessing as she offers progressively more compelling suspects in the colorful mix. But who killed the Easter Bunny? At some point, you may begin to suspect yourself. Holly Schlivnik has shown us in the past that the Los Angeles swimwear industry is a cutthroat business, but poor Pedro Conejo learned the hard way when his business was hired to preside over the huge Easter swimwear display at Bainbridge Department Store and finds himself dead.
Whose Hare-Brained caper was this, or was it a case of mistaken identity? Follow along with Holly as she follows the clues to reveal the truth and deliver sweet justice.
Death by Jellybeans is a humorous look at the murderous swimwear industry. Holly Schlivnik again stumbles into a murder mystery and has to help her well-meaning but short-sighted friends at the Rampart police station before lives are ruined and careers are ended. But there are many twists and turns before she reaches the final clue.
Susie Black’s novels are filled with colorful phrases like “Clown car full of cops in her life,” as she laments not having one around when she really needs one. They will also enjoy her tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, like the Easter Bunny, Pedro Conejo, English translations, and Peter Rabbit.
The Yenta’s Holly’s Coffee Klatch and advisers are on point to give her sound advice that she promptly ignores. Beyond the Yentas, Holly juggles several awkward relationships.
The only stable man in her life is Siggie, her therapist and dog.
Death by Jellybeans is a fun, cozy murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the sweet,
rewarding ending. And if you have a sweet tooth like me, you will want to check out some of Susie Black’s other deadly titles.
