The second Greek to Me Mystery from the author of Feta Attraction
As manager of the Bonaparte House, a historic landmark and Greek restaurant in upstate New York, Georgie Nikolopatos knows her local legends—and her traditional Greek recipes are to die for.
Between her soon-to-be ex-husband Spiro coming out of the closet and her budding romance with Captain Jack Conway, Georgie’s life is beginning to feel like a soap opera. And that’s before a surprise visit from her estranged mother Shirley, better known as soap star Melanie Ashley. But the dramatic family reunion takes a chilling turn when another long-lost relative turns up dead.
Just outside Spiro’s new restaurant, Georgie and Melanie find the body of Doreen Webber—a cousin Georgie never knew she had. With Spiro’s partner Inky on the list of suspects, Georgie begins to wonder what else her mother may be hiding. Is the dead-broke diva capable of murder? She’d better find out before someone adds a new twist to the family plot.
Includes delicious Greek recipes!
Olive and Let Die I've been looking forward to reading this and it didn't disappoint. Olive or Let Die picks up where the first book left off, with Georgie's soon-to-be-ex-husband Spiro working on opening a diner with his new boyfriend, Inky and Georgie's romance with Coast Guard captain Jack blossoming nicely. To add a wrinkle, Georgie's estranged mother, Shirley, now known as soap opera star Melanie Ashley, shows up in town. When Georgie and Melanie sit down for a talk, they discover the dead body of Melanie's cousin, Doreen. I really enjoyed this one. A bit slow to start but as the story picked up, the suspense started to build into a very complex plot. Georgie's mother coming back to town added depth to the main character that was lacking in the first book. The only issue I had is that there's a potential love triangle on the horizon and I'm desperately hoping it doesn't come to that. This is shaping up to be a solid series, I'm hoping it doesn't get sidetracked with contrived romances.
