Dead Spaces

The Big Uneasy, Book 2

By: Pauline Baird Jones

Narrated by: Becky Boyd

Be careful what you dig for....

A forensic surgeon in the New Orleans Coroner’s Office - and part of her dad’s baker’s dozen - Hannah Baker thought she knew where to dig, how and what to slice, and when to walk away. But when her big brother gets her involved in the exhumation of a couple of old coffins, she realizes the past can’t be ignored. Not when it’s been simmering up a big pile of trouble for longer than Hannah’s born days.

Only New Orleans could produce a “Baked” gumbo of the mob, shadowy figures from the past, annoying figures from the present, murders, attempted murders, and a really cute detective who is technically off limits on account of he’s her big brother’s partner.

Good thing NOPD Detective Logan Ferris doesn’t know the meaning of “off limits”, 'cuz once more, the Big Easy is getting mighty uneasy.

Dive into the second installment in a series reviewers are "grinning and loving".

Great story

I love this author and this series. The author captures cute & funny even amongst the multiple murders & other skullduggery. The narrator's voices are recognizable, easy to listen to and full of descriptive inflections. But she should look up vocal demos of pronunciations on the web for words that she's not sure of. It's kind of like vocal spell check. I would definitely listen to this performer again.

Fun book

This book wraps up many of the loose ends from the first book in the series, but not all of them. I’m hoping there will be many more books in this series.
