Book Review-WOLF: A Suspense Thriller (Jessica James Mysteries Book 1)-Kelly Oliver

Tuesday, March 10, 2020


Three very unlikely friends get involved with some really bad guys--including college frat guys. Why? Because Jessica is trying very hard to get her grad degree and her professor is sabotaging her right left and upside down! Lolita is the daughter of a Russian immigrant father who is an artist--and brought some really expensive art works to America with him. He works as a janitor in the school the girls go to. The third girl is kind of a nutty health freak-but really lovable.

When Lolita decides something should be done about those frat boys and date rape drugs----hold onto your hat!! Jessica always seems to be the one who gets beat up or drugged-but have no fear-people always come to her rescue-a bit late maybe--but she is nothing but resilient!

Will they ever be able to retrieve Jessica's thesis and the expensive paintings? I read this in one sitting. It is fast paced to say the least. And the twists that occur--well you have to read them to believe it!

“The Jessica James Mysteries are edgy, thrilling, and simply captivating.” —Chicago Tribune

You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl!

"A fine blend of raw humor with tense tale spinning that makes this mystery series opener a complete pleasure to read." San Fransisco Review of Books

Jessica James is broke and counting down the days until she can defend her philosophy thesis. Desperate to get out of her grubby attic digs, she and her friends break into her professor’s office… only to find her adviser dead in the tub. Scoping the crime scene for clues, she leaves evidence that makes her both a suspect and a target.

Suspecting the school's Russian janitor of doing more than sweeping the floors, Jessica mounts an investigation to clear her name. And when her ragtag posse helps her uncover a related date drug scandal, repeated attempts on her drink make her fear she’s the next on the killer’s to-do list.

Can Jessica unmask the murderer before her degree gets buried six-feet-under?

WOLF is the first standalone novel in the exhilarating Jessica James mystery series. If you like sassy detectives, irreverent humor, and nonstop action, then you’ll love Kelly Oliver’s hilarious adventure.
