Over Her Dead Body by Kate White
4.0
Man does it feel good to be back in the world of Bailey Weggins! I have very slowly been working my way through this series, and now I have finally finished [b:Over Her Dead Body|1011554|Over Her Dead Body (Bailey Weggins Mystery #4)|Kate White|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327956892l/1011554._SY75_.jpg|410268] by [a:Kate White|59972|Kate White|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1611432384p2/59972.jpg]. This book made me crave wine as much as the first three did, and it is told with White's signature style and wit. Bailey is one of my favorite female characters of all time, and I wouldn't mind if the series never ends. This time she is looking for a summer fling, as well as investigating (and reporting on) her new boss's murder. There is plenty of mystery and intrigue along with a couple of steamy sex scenes and lots of suspense!
I decided to listen to the audiobook this time and that may have been a mistake. I don't think I have ever heard the narrator before even though she has a long list of books she has voiced. I really liked Julia Gibson's voice for Bailey and thought it's how she would sound, but there are lots of odd and long pauses as well as points where you can hear her swallowing. I have no idea if this is an issue with editing or not, but it was very distracting, and I started saying "gulp" every time she did it. Luckily for me, she doesn't narrate any of the other books in this series so hopefully, I will have better luck next time! If you go the audio route I would beware, but this was an amazing book with twists I never saw coming.
I love the journalism aspect in Over Her Dead Body, which is a theme throughout the series since, duh, Bailey is a crime writer. She always puts herself in dangerous situations and it is all part of the fun of these books. If you like novels with plucky female leads with some steam and journalism mixed in, this is the book and series for you! All the talk about wine is always a plus as well. Loved this installment to the series and I can't wait for the next one!
