Why are there dead bodies in the freezer?
Seeing Red by Dana Dratch is fast-paced, multiple mysteries, with quirky characters, lots of food and a lovable dog named Lucy. There didn’t seem to be an end to the mysteries, as soon as Alex figured one out there was another one.
Alex Vlodnachek
Alex is a feisty, red-headed, freelance reporter, and our sleuth. Alex collects strays; it seems as her brother is living with her, and he brought with him a puppy. Then someone leaves a baby on Alex’s kitchen table, and she has a colleague show up at her house in need of a room. Oh, she also has her grandmother staying there to take care of the baby.
The thing about Alex is she is a fighter and stubborn. She is also very curious. She may be having so financial problems now, but I am sure she will figure it all out, especially since she is applying Aunt Margie’s advice to her own life. That is another thing she is working on, but I will leave you to find out the details.
Mysteries
Our sleuth and her friends continue to find mysteries at the Bed & Breakfast across the street. There is:
- The disappearance of Cecil Harkins
- A ghost baby
- Someone sabotaging the Inn
- A health inspector up to no good
- A missing insurance man
- A guest who wears a scarf and large dark glasses over her face at all times
- An impressive art collection with multiples of the same painting
However, the cases don’t stop there.
- Alex also has the mysterious niece of Marty’s who took his laptop, wallet and such, and who refuses to return them.
- Then we have the adorable baby that was left on their kitchen table.
- Also, who sent the health inspector to shut down her brother’s new bakery business?
