Olive and Let Die by Susannah Hardy - #review



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.

2015 BooksNTunes Challenge


The Books N Tunes Challenge is hosted by Sophia Rose and Shari at A Delighted Reader, and pairs the books we read with the songs that come to mind while reading those books.  Sounds like fun, right?  So click the banner above to learn all the details and sign up!  (There is also a blog link-up or two for during the year so you can share with others doing the challenge!)

It can be as simple as hearing the Star Wars theme when reading a book such as:

which, BTW, is SO funny I nearly spewed my coffee on several occasions.  

I'm starting out at the lowest level - Hum Baby (10 books/tunes) with a strong hope to be able to move up during the year.

1.  A Grave Inheritance by Kari Edgren
