Timothy Blake is waiting on the side of the road for someone to drop of a package to him. While he is waiting he decides to take a short walk through the woods and he stumbles upon a body. Being the man that he is, he takes the body and goes home since the person never arrives. He puts the body in his freezer for another time. Then he gets a call from his friend Thistle who is also an FBI agent. She needs his helps to solve the case of a missing person. Blake knows where the missing person is, but if he tells her this, he will be charged for the murder, which he didn't do. So he helps the FBI for just as much reason to keep himself clean as to find out what happened to this guy. Will they find the real killer before the body is found in his freezer?
Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin for the opportunity to read and review this book.
This is the first book I've read by Jack Heath. I'm very interested to find out what happened to Blake in the first book. I don't know if there will be more books in this series, but the way this one ended, there could be. I now have to go back and read book 1 which is called Hangman.
Just so you're not surprised if you decide to read this book, Timothy Blake is a cannibal. I didn't see that coming and I think I said out loud, "What the hell!" while I was reading and my family looked at me strange. So that is why he kept the body in the freezer, to have for dinner or a snack later.
One very interesting thing about this book is that there is a riddle at the beginning of each chapter. Some I was able to figure out, others not so much.
Here's one I couldn't figure out: What food has no beginning, end or middle?

Mar 9, 2018
Hannah's mom finds the body this time around, and the victim was about to leave town on a trip. Why kill her now? The mystery was a little obvious, but the book was still fun.

Jul 21, 2018
Body positivity has reached new heights lately, but Ashley Graham has been fighting to be seen as a plus size model for years. Her journey from Nebraska to Sports Illustrated cover is bumpy, relatable, and honest. It's not the best memoir I've ever read, but Ashley Graham is inspiring and positive. It's a good read.

The story is great. I love the idea of a spirit/soul waking up in a different body everyday. As the plot unfolds you come to know A for who they are inside and not on the outside. You begin to fall in love with A's dedication to living each day as the person that A is in for the day. However, as the book progresses, A starts to deviate from the everyday schedules of the bodies A inhabits and chases after a girl the A is in love with.
The whole story was great, the only complaint is I want to know what happens next. Where did A go? Will A ever find a body?

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2103 KP) rated NYPD Puzzle (Puzzle Lady #15) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When lawyer Becky Baldwin gets a new client in NYC she doesn't feel comfortable with, she asks famed Puzzle Lady Cora Felton to act as her body guard. But when they arrive for the meeting, the client is dead with a crossword puzzle on his body. Then Cora is arrested for the murder. What is going on?
This books are always fun and quick witted, and this is no exception. The plot is a little weak, but the characters get frustrated by my frustrations, too, so it was on purpose. Still, fun overall and definitely one fans of the series will enjoy.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2103 KP) rated A Body to Spare (An Odelia Gray Mystery, #10) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Odelia’s day of running errands come to an abrupt end when the attendants at the car wash pop her trunk and find a dead body there. Who was he in life? And why would someone leave him for Odelia to find?
From that simple premise comes another fun adventure for Odelia and the rest of the crew. The plots twists to some unexpected places. The characters are charming and wonderful as always. Add in a dash of wit and you’ve got another winner. I rest most of it in 24 hours, and I’m already anxious for Odelia’s next adventure.

Little Ray Of Sunshine (41 KP) rated Dumplin' (2018) in Movies
Jan 9, 2019
Dumplin' is a must watch film of 2019
Wow, this film made me cry as you rooting for WillowDean Dickson nicknamed Dumplin' to achieve her goal to win the beauty pageant. This film shows you that if you put your mind to it you can do it. Also if you plus size you can still be worth in beauty and fashion. I feel Danielle Macdonald (plays Dumplin') role in this film will take her on to amazing films. I love how this shows all girls that you can feel body positivity any size. It makes me feel that I need to proud of my body I was born in.
It's worth the watch.

Grinch (194 KP) rated Stand by Me (1986) in Movies
May 7, 2017
Based on the Stephen King novel, The body, which is the backdrop to this great story. (2 more)
Outstanding acting from the then young cast.
Nostalgic story of friendship and the vulnerability of youth.
Coming of age movie, with the late River Phoenix. Stand by Me is a small, quiet film that walks tall and resonates long after.
