How to Survive Ghosts, Dolls and Fresco Falls: A Delia Sanchez Mystery by Diana K. C. GillMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A humorous and occasionally spooky cozy mystery...
How to Survive Ghosts, Dolls and Fresco Falls by Diana K. C. Gill is the second book in the Delia Sanchez Mystery series. It’s an enjoyable and well-crafted whodunit that will keep you guessing until the very end.
To summarize the synopsis: In order to help those she cares about, Delia Sanchez, a hospitality manager and joint owner of the Loring Boutique Hotel in Santa Clotilde, California, is once more compelled to put her prior experience working for the LAPD to use. During a trip back to Fresco Falls, Florida, Delia's boyfriend vanished. Delia travels through a hurricane to south Florida only to discover that her boyfriend has kept crucial details of his life from her. For instance, his leadership of a multinational conglomerate, a family estate in the style of a Caribbean plantation amidst a swamp, and an alligator named Frederico. As Delia becomes involved with dishonest corporate executives, lethal snakes, a voodoo priestess, and raising the dead at a nearby cemetery things only go from bad to worse Will she live long enough to defend her true love?
Character growth and clever plot lines are key components of really good cozy mysteries. Author Diana K. C. Gill succeeds in both. Highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me.
