Description from the publisher:
A local
costuming guild has arrived in Astoria for a long weekend of recreating their favorite
time period - the Regency. Think Jane Austen, sailing ships, high tea, a
costume ball, and...a dead body.
When the
guild’s nastiest member winds up dead in the drink, Viola is convinced it’s no
accident. And after the husband of the deceased gets into a brawl on the front
lawn of the town’s most well-known landmark, she knows something’s up. Armed
with nothing more than a folding fan and her wits, she sets out to unveil the
killer before somebody else winds up in Davy Jones’ locker.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE DEATH IN THE DRINK is the seventh
book in the Viola Roberts Cozy Mystery series. Though each will stand alone, it is far
better to read them all and in the order of release.
The best of the three I have heard
and I really want the rest of the series now.
This was a fun, cozy mystery. The
established characters continue to charm my heart while the new characters
delighted my funny bone.
The story was well choreographed
with plenty of interesting research into a new topic to keep it interesting and
fun.
The final word: the final chapter is nicely set up for the
next adventure as Viola, Lucas, Cheryl, and Bat will be taking a couples’
vacation to wine country. Now what do
you think the chances are that they won’t be involved in the discovery of a
body?
Narration: Yvette Keller is
absolutely marvelous as a narrator. She
does dramatic pauses better than anyone I have heard in a long time – perfectly
timed. She gives her voices the right
amount of giggle, suspense, tears, or whatever the scene needs. I could listen to her anytime!
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook
copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
