Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I enjoy light mysteries and that describes this book. The references to Mark Twain's writings were fun. I enjoyed the characters and the ending did surprise me.The villian wasn't who I suspected. My only complaint was that there was one typo towards the very end of the book. This typo was rather important to the plot. But anyone who reads it will easily recognize it. ( )Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This was a fun cozy mystery that kept me guessing until the end. I really enjoy the theme of the series, which is Literary Tours. As someone who lives in the south, I found it interesting that the main character, Delilah, was a southern gal herself. There were times I found Delilah to be a little too passive and naive, and I would have liked to have seen her interact a little more with other members of her tour group, but overall I found the writing to be solid. If you are a fan of southern cozy mysteries, you will definitely enjoy this series. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This is the 2nd in the Literary Tour Mystery Series. It's a light cozy that was thoroughly entertaining and fun. Lots of twists and turns and unexpected circumstances. I am looking forward to going back and reading the first in the series. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. This book is a fast, fun, and light read. Delilah Dickinson is charming and likeable. I have the feeling she would swear like my mother, where all the bad words are replaced by things like ‘fudge ripple’. You can’t help but want things to go right for Delilah. But, of course, things go wrong. And when things start to go wrong it is fun to listen in on all of her theories about who did what and why. I like all the Mark Twain quotes thrown in and how they managed to fit well into the story so they didn’t seem forced. But I’m glad that you don’t have to be a Mark Twain enthusiast to enjoy the book. There are several references to the first book in the series so that you learn about Delilah’s business and her last ill fated tour and perhaps it was mentioned more than it needed to be but this is still very much a stand alone story. There are a lot of interesting characters to muddy the waters but they all belong there and they are realistic and believable so that you do start to like some, hate some and feel sorry for others. The mystery is fun too. There are twists to follow and various pieces to fit together and a nice harrowing climax when everything finally falls into place. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Fast, fun read with interesting characters and good plot. Now I want to take a riverboat cruise - though, of course, without any murders to interrupt the fun. I have to get the first book in the series now, and will definitely look forward to reading future ones! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Dead Man Overboard! Delilah Dickinson's literary travel agency is a hit! But the latest package tour, a leisurely steamboat trip down Huckleberry Finn's Mississippi, delivered one dead passenger. As it turns out, Ben Webster made a few enemies before he expired by trying to slug a roulette dealer. Delilah knows the steamship's no-nonsense head of security definitely is dirty and low-down and just plain old mean. . .but could he be a murderer? Pretty soon her list of suspects is longer than the Mississippi is wide. . .not to mention she's taken quite a shine to Mark Twain himself--or rather Mark Lansing, the handsome actor playing Huck Finn's scribe for the tour. Of course, things just ain't never what they seem when Delilah's at the helm, and one tricky murder turns into two and things start to get pretty dicey on yonder steamboat. Hopefully Delilah can nab the killer before she's too many fathoms deep. . . Praise for Livia J. Washburn and Frankly My Dear, I'm Dead "Amusing, breathlessly quick." --Publishers Weekly "Gone with the Wind fans will cozy up to this tale." --Mystery Scene "Liva J. Washburn's mysteries are among the best." --Mystery News Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
