Book Review of Hell On Wheels by Sue Ann Jaffarian

Hell On Wheels
Odelia Grey Mysteries # 9
Genre: Mystery
Publisher: Midnight Ink, November 2014
312 pages
Book Source: Publisher via netgalley

Odelia and her husband Greg are on a min-vacation attending a rugby match played by their quadriplegic friends. When a vicious opponent dies on the court their friend Rocky is accused of murder. Then when Rocky's wife Miranda turns up dead it's up to Odelia and friends to get to the bottom of the mystery. But is she out of her league?

This is the first Odelia Grey mystery I have read but I'll certainly be reading more. It has a plucky, funny, chubby amateur detective with an intelligent, paraplegic husband. The mystery kept me interested and the plot flowed nicely. I love that the author chose a protagonist who embraces her curves.

Maybe I'll Exercise

At my check-up the nurse practitioner asked if the neurontin I take helps. I told her yes, it helps my leg. Scott thinks it also helps my mood, but I happen to think my mood is PRETTY FREAKIN' PEACHY anyway. The nurse also went over a self care checklist with me: "Do you smoke?" No "Do you eat at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables every day?" No "Do you exercise at least 30 minutes every day?" No (See a theme here?) "Do you sleep at least 7 hours at night?" No  "How much alcohol do you drink?" Not enough Nurse: "Ok, you have to have at least one goal to on this list to improve your self care. Which one do you want to work on?" Me: "Oh geez, I guess I'll try to exercise more. Maybe."  I know I need to take better care of myself, I'm a chubby little monkey and my eating habits aren't so great. But COME ON exercising is about as exciting as watching paint dry and Chips Ahoy takes waaay better th...
