Halloween Bingo 2024
I'm both glad and sad that I've reached the last Literary Ladies novel. I will miss learning of the future adventures of this funny foursome: Bea, Chandra, Kate and Luella. They have come a long way since the first book, where they were sentenced to a court-ordered book club where they could work out their differences. But I also think that this is a good stopping place.
Each mystery in this series centres around some classic novel that the book club is reading. This time it's Gone With the Wind, which I found a little odd for a series set on a little island on Lake Erie, deep in Yankee country. Obviously, Kylie Logan had come up with a way to use details from the classic to dress up her cozy mystery and was willing to live with that dissonance. There's a new B&B in town, run by twins who are famous for being kidnapped and mysteriously escaping. They've named their establishment Tara and are hosting a Civil War themed fund raising gala there. And they seem to be out to ruin Bea's business.
In the meantime, there's been a murder of a local real estate agent who has so many detractors that the police are spoiled for choice of suspects. Bea learns that the dead woman broke up Chandra's first marriage and Chandra has been acting erratically. It doesn't take Bea long to take up the hunt for the killer in order to clear her friend.
This was perfect for the Twilight on the Great Lakes square of my Bingo card, as it takes place on South Bass Island on Lake Erie.
