    About this audiobook

    Cealie Gunther avoids things that bind—like control-top pantyhose and Gil Thurman. Widowed Cealie thinks she wants to avoid her hunky ex-lover Gil as she travels while trying to rediscover herself. But he opens Cajun restaurants in many cities, and Cealie's not great at avoiding temptation. She tries to avoid family members so she won't become dependant, but since her family is most important, constantly winds up around them. Murder is always involved. Cealie gets drawn in, although as owner of a copyediting agency she knows parts of speech but not weapons. She's dropping by to visit her motherless granddaughter now and watch her become a high school graduate—unless Cealie's interference in the school creates a catastrophe involving someone very special.

      Pacing was awkward. Kept switching from grandma to hot babe unevenly. The pace and subject could not hold my attention so I just wanted to see it end. For a woman who built a successful business she lacked the professionalism and confidence and kept wallowing around between a 35 yr old and a 90 yr old.

      4 STARSI enjoyed the characters in Relative Danger. Their is plenty of drama, danger and action but what else would you expect in a high school. The janitor was found dead. The police don't know if it was murder or a accident.Cealie Gunther is a older woman. She has flown into town to see her granddaughter graduate from high school. She has promised her daughter on her death bed that she would be their for the events she would miss. When she surprises her granddaughter she finds out that she might not graduate after all and especially with high honors.Cealie decides to be a substitute teacher at the high school and see what she can find out. She wants to see her granddaughter graduate. Cealie's son is still in a depressive state from losing his wife. Cealie' a widow herself and she knows a little about depression after death. Her ex-lover has come to town and opened a new Cajun restaurant. She keeps thinking about Gil. Even when she was the one to break it off. She wanted to find herself before losing herself in another man.Kat is supposed to graduate soon. She has a teacher friend that has made a difference in her life. That teacher has been questioned by the police in the janitor's death. She won't talk to Kat anymore. Kat has been staying home from school lately. She has also broken up with her boyfriend lately.Gil still cares about Cealie and he is glad to see her in his new restaurant. He seems to have a new girl friend that Cealie calls legs. He wants to go to Kat's graduation with Cealie.The mystery was good and kept me guessing till the end. Cealie found that high school has changed a lot since she taught years ago. This book I felt dealt with relationships more than a mystery novel. Even though their was a lot of danger at the high school and around Cealie and Kat.I look forward to reading the next book and hope to see more of Cealie and Gil. Wonder what her cousin wants too.I was given this ebook and asked to review it and be part of its blog tour.

      There was much to like about this book, and much that just didn't work for me.

      Cealie promised her deceased daughter-in-law that she would watch Kat (Cealie's granddaughter)walk across the stage to graduate. Cealie has a far-flung business that she has been running since the death of her own husband, an ex-boyfriend, who happens to be opening a restaurant in town, a severely depressed son and a granddaughter who has stopped going to school because of a possible murder at the school.

      Cealie to the rescue? Well, yes and no. Cealie does eventually solve the murder(s?) but along the way she does some things that I always label as TSTL (too stupid to live). She goes to the school as a substitute teacher, thus painting a target on Kat's back as a problem. She plays "yes, I mean no" with Gil, the former boyfriend. She sneaks around in dark places where she knows it is possible she might run into the killer.

      Mostly she irritated me because she didn't seem to even try and use any common sense.

      The mystery was good, the writing -- as far as characterization and setting, was wonderful.

      I'll probably try one more to see if Cealie develops any better habits but if she continues to be so reckless I expect I'll have to give up, which is too bad because Cealie is a good, caring person.
