( ) Fourth in the Tory Bauer series, this one moves the story right along, too. It's Halloween in Delphi, and time for a few closeted skeletons to rattle their way out into the open. When Tory find the dead body in the bathroom of the cafe, everyone is shocked to learn it's the heretofore unknown estranged husband of cafe owner, Aphrodite, that heavyset, grim and taciturn elderly lady with the ever present cigarette working the grill in the back. The shocks just keep coming, though, with in walks a middle aged overblown ex-stripper named Alanna Luna who immediately enfolds the startled and shaken Aphrodite and yells, "Mom!" When a second sudden and violent death rocks the town of Delphi, Tory MUST figure out whodunit because she herself falls under suspicion. This one is another good 'un, well written and containing characters as common as cornbread and as well known by this time as a well worn shoe. It's gets another 5. Protagonist: Torey Bauer, diner waitress Setting: present-day small town Delphi, South Dakota Series #4 It's Halloween in Delphi, and Tory is grumpily dressed as a Munchkin for her diner shift. The place is hopping with its usual array of morning patrons, a Girl Scout troop singing ghoulish songs of the season, trick or treaters, and a few out-of-towners. One of the out-of-towners, a small nondescript man, takes a pill and asks directions to the restroom. Twenty minutes later, Tory finds him face down on the bathroom floor. This dead man turns out to be the estranged husband of one of the series regulars. What is even more surprising is that two out-of-towners who show up within thirty minutes of his death are his daughter and grandson. That night, things go from bad to horrible when one of the series regulars is killed. Tory finds herself in the middle of crazy family doings as both executor of the will and an inheritor. A favorite series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Tory Bauer is the quintessential diner waitress, slopping up greasy food with a hefty side order of cranky attitude. In Mourning Shift the goblins are out for Halloween, and Tory is crabbier than usual. Is it a trick when a mysterious old man dies in the cafe's restroom? Or is it a treat to find out the juicy gossip that he's the cafe owner's long estranged husband? The reluctant heroine saves the day again by discovering the identity of a killer.
