30 SECOND DEATH by Laura Bradford
The Second Tobi Tobias Mystery
Business is booming for Tobi Tobias, unfortunately, her personal life
isn't faring so well. Andy's ex has come back into his life and in
trying to help her good friend, she may just have set Carter up for a
murder charge! A diva at Carter's theatre company has made the mellow
Carter lose his cool, so in order to save his job, Tobi rescinds the
acting offer she gave the Art Director and gives the job to the Diva. A
nightmare on the set, Fiona angers everyone, but it's only after Carter
works on her hair that she drops dead. Now Carter's the prime suspect,
but plenty of people had motive. Will Tobi be able to prove Carter's
innocence when even Mary Fran doubts him? Will she work out her
relationship with Andy? And just what is Rudder getting up to at night
that the police are called for a noise disturbance?
Tobi's junk food diet makes my eating habits look positively healthy and her snorting, along with her reaction to it, gets on my nerves. Despite the fact that I find Tobi annoying at times, her deep rooted kindness makes me appreciate her as a person and as a character. And although poor decisions abound, if better choices were made there'd be no mystery.

I really enjoyed the mystery in 30 SECOND DEATH. Laura Bradford is quite adept at misdirecting readers, leading us toward what seem like the logical conclusion. When the mystery is solved we're reminded of all those well placed
clues we may have glossed over which now make us say, "Well, of course. It
all makes sense now!" The romantic anticipations and troubles of both Tobi and Mary Fran add to the angst of the story, heightening the drama.The mood is lightened, however, with plenty of humor, from Tobi's new clients, Dom and Gina Paletti, but especially from Rudder, wise words from teenager, Sam, and those quirky traits of Tobi.
30 SECOND DEATH is a well rounded mystery that provides a pleasurable mixture of laughter and drama while highlighting the importance of love and friendship.
