Time out between Halloween posts for a stop on the blog tour for the mystery, Secrets Laid to Rest by Catherine C. Hall.
About the Book:
It’s the Golden Girls meet the Ghostbusters
when four women find themselves in an unlikely career: Southeastern Paranormal
Investigations. Ree Lane, a stylish widow, is more cynic than true believer,
while her childhood chum Elle Harper has a knack for getting sensitive info
with the help of her homemade pies. The preacher’s wife, Betsy Jones, can’t be
seen with SPI unless she’s in her disguise as Nora, a psychic-in-training with
a gift for Tarot. And the recently-returned-home Gillian Buchanan is a whiz at
technology, especially of the supernatural sort.
Their first case lands on the doorstep when neighbor Doris Tucker is sure her prized vintage dolls are haunted. But there’s hardly time for ghost-hunting when the bank director’s wife mistakes SPI for a private eye venture. Now they’re also hot on the trail of a misbehaving husband. It’s a wild ride as the sixty-something sleuths start digging into the past. But have the Ladies of SPI gone too far? And how far will Sutter go to keep its secrets dead and buried?
Review:
A fun mystery with lots of Southern charm as the ladies try to solve problems while sometimes causing others. A good group with lots of banter, though sometimes there are some too-fast point-of-view shifts. But enjoyed their adventures. ✫✫✫✫
