The first mystery in a new series overflowing with Greek flavor...
Georgie Nikolopatos manages the Bonaparte House, a Greek restaurant and historic landmark in beautiful upstate New York rumored to possess ghosts and hidden treasure. But when her husband disappears and her main competitor is found dead, it’s up to Georgie to solve a big fat Greek murder.
With her husband, Spiro, inexplicably gone for days, Georgie has her hands full running the restaurant and dealing with the crew of the TV show Ghost Squad, called in by Spiro to inspect the house for haunting. So when she has a chance to take a boating excursion on the St. Lawrence River with her friend Keith Morgan, she jumps on it. But their idyll is quickly ruined when they discover the body of rival restaurant owner Domenic “Big Dom” DiTomasso floating in the water.
When the police start asking questions, it doesn’t help that Spiro can’t be found—and with Georgie on their suspect list, it’s up to her to find her missing husband and find out who killed Big Dom before someone else’s order is up.
Includes delicious Greek recipes!
Not bad for the first in a series. Good plot and pacing, had a lot of twists and turns and kept me turning pages. The characters, especially the MC, needed a little more fleshing out to make them more than one dimensional. Also, the usage of the phrase "etty-six" in the first few chapters was confusing. Had no idea what it was meant to imply. The MC had a few TSTL moments as well, which is exasperating. But overall, I really enjoyed it and I'll pick up the next book when it comes out.
