Being part of a non-profit to prevent and support victims of domestic violence should have been rewarding. Instead Stacie is plagued by bad karma, discovers a body, and isn’t too sure who to trust.
Foundations, Funny Business and Murder
By christanardi
One would think, or at least hope, that non profits were trust worthy–especially one that was created for victims of abuse! This one was a mess and it hadn’t even quite started yet. The board of directors was supposed to be 1/2 male and 1/2 female from specific industries. And why were people being murdered after speaking with the head of the board. And why were all those mishaps happening to Stacie? You will love her vicious dog!!
This book will keep you reading until you find out the answers to the above–I know it did me!
I enjoy Christa Nardi’s tales featuring Stacie Maroni. Stacie is intelligent, independent, and passionate about her causes. She is a board member of a foundation that helps victims of domestic violence. In this book, someone is working to have her removed from the board. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I recommend this series to others who enjoy this genre. Naomi Rose-Mock’s narration is great and adds to the story’s entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.
This is the second book in the Staci Maroni Mystery Series, a cozy mystery. Staci’s adventures are captivating! The story has a well crafted plot, fast-paced, and entertaining. I liked the characters, the mystery, the intrigue, and the suspense. Naimi Rose-Mock did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed this book. This is the second book in the series and is just as good and captivating as the first book. There is so much going on in this story that the blurb just doesn’t do it justice. There are a lot of characters, many of whom we have already met if you have read or listened to the first book, but you don’t need to have to enjoy this book. The author weaves background information nicely into the story, as well as fleshing out the characters, making them likeable and human. I liked the fact that the main character didn’t come across as a hopeless female but was capable, despite still needing help from her over protective friends. The mystery was interesting and took lots of twists and I look forward to the next book.
Stacie is called to an emergency meeting for the non-profit foundation her deceased husband set up for women of domestic violence. It seems The board has to many members and after a mix up with email address nobody knows who should actually be on the committee or even who is in charge. Before the meeting can get under way the man who called the meeting is attacked. Then Stacie herself is shot at, her tires slashed and a tracker placed on her car. The press also seem to be doing there best to cause trouble for the foundation by interviewing some of the members, including a sports star and two opposing politicians. Can Stacie, her friends and the police get to the bottom of what is going on before somebody else gets hurt? Her love life despite all her friends attempts at getting her back out on the scene might just have to be put on the back burner, especially when she doesn’t know who to trust.
I like the narrator, she has a special way of bringing the story and characters to life.
