Do you believe in ghosts? No, let me rephrase that. Do you believe in
homicidal ghosts? How about things that go bump in the night, not to
mention shrieking and screaming?
Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree and best
friend/business partner Ellie White decide they're being offered too
much money to turn down to provide dessert at a housewarming at a
supposed haunted mansion to believe in ghosts. Admittedly, however, Jake
has a bad feeling about it. Then they're trapped there by a storm that
downed a monster sized tree blocking the narrow access road. The power
goes out. The storm rages. Lightning flashes. Then, one by one, the
bodies start piling up. Hmm, do I detect homage to Christie's "Ten
Little Indians"?
I won't detail the plot, summations are found,
but will simply say that it is full of twists, turns, and just as Jake
and Ellie think they've begun to figure it out, more mayhem. Sarah
Graves' series based on home repair was one of those that hooked me on
mysteries but, wow, I don't recall any previous book being quite this
action packed. Those who like their mysteries with lots of action,
fleshed out characters, and twists and turns, not to mention the
occasional thing that goes bump in the night, will definitely enjoy this
book. Start reading early in the day, however, as this one kept me up
past my bedtime.
Thank you #NetGalley and #KensingtonBooks for
allowing me to check out Jake and Ellie's adventures, fortunately
virtually. Hope to visit with Igor, the Irish Wolfhound, in future
books.
