Would you like a shot of… death with that, sir?
Josephine Jacobs was just doing her job, serving at an exclusive party, so why is she now being accused of shooting TG Taggert?
At a party full of suspects in the murder of Taggert, Josie served the food giant everything but an eternally “parting shot.” Who really killed TG Taggert? His wife? His son, Jack? What about Harper Davis? Rumor has it, she was having an affair with him—motive for her or Taggert’s wife! The list of those who seemed to hate him keeps growing, including a chemist and a chef!
With her long-time friend, Office Porter O’Brien, Josie sets out to clear her name and find out who really killed “the giant”.
Find out in this next book in the Ever After Mysteries, combining beloved fairy tales and mysteries. A Giant Murder offers a retelling of “Jack and the Beanstalk” with enough clues and suspects to keep you looking over your shoulder. We’d recommend Kevlar… but it hasn’t been invented yet!

My Review
A Giant Murder is the second installment and Marji Laine’s contribution to the Ever After Mysteries. This is the first book I have read by this author and really enjoyed it. I thought it was a quick read that kept me busy reading for a couple of hours. Josephine and Porter’s story was entertaining from start to finish. It was not easily predictable for me and I had to see how the mystery would be solved. It was fun trying to figure it all out. I really liked that it was a retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk.
A Giant Murder is narrated by Christa DelSorbo. Her performance on bringing this tale to life is superb. She made it so easy to continue to keep listening and she did a wonderful job.
I am giving A Giant Murder four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean historical suspense fiction. I look forward to the third installment from the Ever After Mysteries, April Hayman’s When the Pilot Falls.
I received a digital copy of A Giant Murder from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Thank you for sharing your review of the A Giant Murder audiobook, this sounds like a great story and I am looking forward to listening to it
ReplyDeleteI am so interested in discovering how the author has retold Jack and the Beanstalk as a murder mystery.
