4 Bodies and a Funeral

By Stephanie Bond

One cadaver, two cadaver, three cadaver, four…

Ever had one of those days? A surprise visit from her father—who’s on the run from the law—has given Carlotta Wren a lot to think about. Should she join her former fiancé, Peter, in proving her father is innocent? If she does, are her body-moving days over?

And then… A close friend’s behaviour begins to spin out of control… The cops turn up the heat on her father’s case… Carlotta discovers that her brother Wesley’s gambling debts are child’s play compared to his new vice… And the Charmed Killer, a serial murderer, unleashes his wrath on Atlanta. Now the bodies are piling up—and Carlotta’s father is the number one suspect!

Reviews for 4 Bodies and a Funeral

[sunnysd_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Your first day back at work after time off for a broken arm shouldn't end facedown in a celebratory sheet cake, but that's par for the course when you're Carlotta Wren. Carlotta's juggling three men, a teenage brother with a gambling problem, a stalker who may be a serial killer, a father who may have been framed, but might be a serial killer... and since her job at Neiman Marcus isn't quite exciting enough, she's moonlighting as a body mover for the coroner's office.The action is pretty much non-stop, but this Stephanie Plum-wannabe is a bit too frantic and Carlotta isn't nearly as appealing a main character. Maybe it's because I started with the fourth installment. A fast, fluffy read with a cliffhanger ending - but I felt no real urgency to run right out and find book five.

Bond, Stephanie Bond that is. She's back with book four in her 'Body Movers' series and "4 Bodies and a Funeral" is just as funny as the previous three. Filled with everything from innuendo to slapstick, the heroine, Carlotta, has to try and figure out which man is the right one for her while dodging murder attempts, suspects, and a brother who's developing some VERY bad habits.Carlotta is finally back to work and her first day is a doozy. It seems the current Olympic champion credits her charm bracelet with giving her the strength to win the gold and she's making an appearance where Carlotta works! Good news-Carlotta should be able to make some serious commission on all the shoppers packing the store. Bad news-when she tries to prevent an attack on the champ, she ends up face-down in a BIG cake. Worst news-the charm bracelet went missing and now there's a wacko serial killer putting charms in the mouths of his victims...and Carlotta and her brother both are considered suspects!Another fun read to enjoy as you snicker and snort your way through Carlotta's mayhem-filled life. If nothing else, you can always be thankful you're not Carlotta.
