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 Thoughts:

I had already read this book and was excited to get the audio version because I did enjoy the story. The audio version was ok and I still enjoyed the story. The authors style keeps you engaged and wanting to continue.

The mystery and characters are still good and I liked Josie a lot. I really wanted to love the audiobook but truly I didn’t. I preferred reading it to listening to it. I just didn’t jive with the narrator on this one. The story is still good and I still recommend it!

4/5 for the book but 3/5 for the audio
