Killer Content

By: Olivia Blacke

Narrated by: Megan Tusing

It's murder most viral in this debut mystery by Olivia Blacke.

Bayou transplant Odessa Dean has a lot to learn about life in Brooklyn. So far she's scored a rent free apartment in one of the nicest neighborhoods around by cat-sitting, and has a new job working at Untapped Books & Café. Hand-selling books and craft beers is easy for Odessa, but making new friends and learning how to ride the subway? Well, that might take her a little extra time.

But things turn more sour than an IPA when the death of a fellow waitress goes viral, caught on camera in the background of a couple's flash-mob proposal video. Nothing about Bethany's death feels right to Odessa--neither her sudden departure mid-shift nor the clues that only Odessa seems to catch. As an up-and-coming YouTube star, Bethany had more than one viewer waiting for her to fall from grace.

Determined to prove there's a killer on the loose, Odessa takes matters into her own hands. But can she pin down Bethany's killer before they take Odessa offline for good?

Odessa has an unconventional, appealing voice and she’s no shrinking violet. I laughed out loud in places. Killer Content is a killer read!"—Sofie Kelly, New York Times bestselling author

Excellent read

This book was absolutely entertaining through out! It was definitely hard to put down. I love the modern day theme!

Loved it

I quite liked the heroin. She was relatable and down to earth. It was a good mystery that kept you guessing.

Too descriptive

Good story, but I got tired of the excessive descriptions. I thought the ant story was way over the top.

Great cozy mystery

Odessa is a great southern character. I loved her determination to find who killed her friend and co-worker. The police are not investigating her death and Odessa doesn't agree. She sets out to investigate what really happened. The author is new to me but I really enjoyed the story. Recommend for cozy, quirky, fun mystery fans.
