Mystery, murder romance, family relationships are parts of the whole. This series always has multiple stories going on, though I am tired of the abandoned by parents" thread and would like to see its conclusion. A light-hearted enjoyable read.

But the real reason for the 5th star I added to this rating was the depiction of drug addiction and what it takes to detox. Stephanie Bond has provided an enlightening discussion for teens without any talking down or lecturing.
One of the best books in the series thus far! It kept me guessing through the entire Charmed Killer arc and I was blown away at how it ended. Now I can not WAIT for book 7 to come out!

This whole series is like nicotine. Once you start, it's darn hard to stop and keeps you craving for more.
Well, I've enjoyed the entire 'Body Movers' series from Stephanie Bond, but I must say I'm a little peeved. Everything I had read intimated that "Killer Bodies" would be the last book of the series. Apparently not! It's not that I didn't enjoy the book, I did, very much...but I was expecting ALL the issues to be resolved. Silly me.

Carlotta feels a bit like Chicken Little. Now that the cops have arrested her 'friend' Cooper, everyone seems to be convinced he's the 'Charmed Killer'...everyone but Carlotta. No matter how much evidence seems to be piling up, she just can't shake her belief in Cooper. And that's not Carlotta's only problem. The escaped, insane, former co-worker who tried to kill her is still on the loose and, as far as show more Carlotta is concerned, HE's a great suspect for the 'charmed' killings. And her former fiance Peter, who dumped her when her father and her family's wealth disappeared, is pressing her to deepen their relationship. And then there's her brother Wes, 19 years old. He's more of a child to Carlotta since she's the one who raised him for the last ten years...he's in BIG trouble--woman trouble, drug trouble, and mob trouble. Poor Carlotta would really like it if she only had to handle one problem at a time!

If you haven't read the previous five books, for goodness sakes don't start here. This series is filled with mystery, romance, and humor. Carlotta has three, count 'em three, men on a string and STILL can't decide which is right for her. She doesn't walk, but RUNS, where angels fear to tread in her efforts to clear her friends and find the killer and there are more red herrings than on a Maine fishing boat! I think I suspected just about everybody in the darn book, before the real killer was revealed.

"6 Killer Bodies" does have closure...of a sort. The 'Charmed Killer' mystery is solved. The mystery of Carlotta's father is not, but he does make another appearance. Wesley's issues become better...and more convoluted at the same time. And Carlotta's men...are still her men since there's just something special about each one. If only she could make a composite!

I did enjoy this book. Stephanie Bond knows how to mix humor, mystery, and romance and come up with intriguing stories and great plotting. But there's no way this is the last we've heard about Carlotta. So now I'm off to do more research on when I can expect the next installment in her crazy, mixed-up life.

This series has kept me on the edge of my seat! Ugh and there is no definite time for the next book! This one left off with another cliffhanger, but still wrapped up the story nicely.
I really wish I'd taken the time to write a review for each of the books in this series, but I honestly couldn't take the time to write something between books. As soon as I finished one, I opened the next one. I'm not quite sure what it is about these books that I love so much, but I think they are excellent! I absolutely love the characters! You can't help but care about them and feel sorry for them.

I do find them fairly predictable, but it almost makes me enjoy them more in a way. I am so disappointed that there is no set release date for the seventh book in this series. I don't even want to read anything else until I find out what happens.

This book finally wrapped up the mystery that we started with in book 4, but there are still so show more many loose ends. I can't wait to see what happens in Carlotta's love life. I really love 2 of the 3 guys and have my own opinions on which she'd be happiest with.

Anyway, I absolutely love this series and want more!

The final conclusion to the trilogy of body mover books this answered a lot of questions but still leaves it wide open to continue if she wants to with the next part of the story. With that said I already feel like I've known all along where the parents were, I didn't guess the murderer, and she really doesn't finalize who gets to be the boyfriend.
I liked the twists & turns. I still think Carlotta needs to make up her mind between the men. Glad Wes is getting a little more of the storyline
