Review of Pleading the Fish by Bree Baker

Pleading the Fish by Bree Baker

From the publisher of Pleading the Fish

Café owner and amateur sleuth Everly Swan, like every Swan woman before her, is cursed in love. The only problem? Her fiancé Detective Grady Hayes has something to say about it—he doesn’t believe in magic and is determined to prove the curse wrong so they can spend their lives together. Everly wishes it could be so simple!

It feels like a sign when a historian looking into Swan history is found dead in an antique wishing well, and Everly fears the curse is spreading. Grady takes the case, looking to find justice and prove the curse wrong, while Everly does a bit of investigating on her own. Big change is coming for Everly and her friends, but with mysterious strangers lurking about and someone leaving increasingly threatening messages for the happy couple, Everly’s not sure she’ll get her happily-ever-after!

My review

My only regret in reading Pleading the Fish is that I didn’t come across this series sooner. I thoroughly loved Everly Swan and all the other characters. The plot moved quickly with plenty of twists-and-turns. I liked the snappy dialogue and, did I mention how delightful Everly is? 

One of my favorite scenes in the book takes place when Everly falls asleep during a yoga class on the beach. This one is laugh-out-loud funny throughout—and believe me, that’s no small accomplishment as far as this reader goes!

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
