Body Movers

By Stephanie Bond

So Carlotta Wren's life hasn't turned out as she'd planned./

She didn't plan for her parents to skip bail for a white-collar crime, leaving her to raise her brother. She didn't plan on having the silver spoon ripped from her mouth and forgoing college to work retail. She didn't plan on her blue-blood fiance dumping her.

And she didn't plan on still being single ten years later, working at Neiman Marcus, with no idea where her fugitive parents are. But she's coping. Until– –her lovable brother is arrested, and the hunky cop decides to reopen her parents' case. –her brother becomes a body mover for the morgue, and his sexy boss gets Carlotta involved. –her former fiance's wife (a good customer) is murdered, fingering Carlotta.

With three men in her life, Carlotta has added motivation to help bag a murderer to keep her own well-dressed body from being next on the list!

I could have forgiven this as a "Please buy the next one to find out what happens mainly because I really can't write and I need the money" series book if the plot had been interesting and the characters more than one dimensional nitwits. Esp the Nitwit part.

The book is so meaty to read, I blew thru all 6 of them in one sitting. That's saying a lot. A Jack Reacher will take me an evening.

I am really glad I read the reviews on this book or I would have put it down after the first 80 pages or so. It was really drawn out and alot of it could have been removed. That being said I really enjoyed the rest of it! I will be getting the next installment and will try to read it as I did the first one, without any reservations. I really hope the rest of the books are good.

Body Movers was really cute! Reminded me a bit of the Stephanie Plum series. Carlotta is your average girl with above average problems. There is the romance and mystery. Cute chick lit!

This bok to a while to get into. I was afraid i would never get tothe good stuff. About half way through I could not put it down. Once the characters were developed Ihad to read it to the very end.

Billed as a "sexy mystery," this novel follows Atlanta sales clerk Carlotta Wren as she becomes involved in the investigation of the death of Angela Ashford, a former friend who had married Carlotta's former fiancee. Could her former lover, Peter Ashford, be guilty of murder? Most of the chapters are told from Carlotta's point of view, but some are told from the point of view of her 19-year old brother, Wesley, who's on probation for hacking into the city's computer files and who owes lots of money for gambling debts. Wesley has recently secured a job helping transport bodies to the morgue, hence the title of the novel. Carlotta, for so long without a man in her life, suddenly finds herself the center of attention, as her ex-fiancee, a police detective, and Wesley's boss all take an interest in her. Well written and enjoyable.
