If you're looking for a hauntingly good adventurous cozy mystery series about a small-town girl who travels to exotic locations investigating kooky crimes and unearthing buried secrets, then one-click this book and meet Penny. Her only weapon is a sharp wit and a mean jab, but they get the job done.
Bohemian Lake’s favorite Investigative Journalist Penny Trubble takes a break from running the Private Eye and accepts an assignment accompanying her friends to the Paranormal Plantation Resort off the coast of Brazil where several girls have mysteriously vanished, including one of their own small-town residents. Penny is expecting to find vapid vacationers sipping margaritas and soaking up the sun, but what she finds is a mind-numbing experience at the Island’s ‘Festival for the Dead’.
The crazy old lady next door is claiming a ghostly Voodoo Priestess has returned to fulfill her promise, and since a well-known ghostbuster has curiously been hired to assist her, Penny’s wondering if the island’s killer is supernatural after all, or if her employer has simply juggled one too many crystal balls.
Still, she’s hopeful that their missing girl has simply flaked, but as the investigating duo delves into the history of the island, an age-old secret washes ashore. The tox report reveals a psychedelic cocktail which points to a bokor who’s black magic includes the creation of zombies and talismans that house spirits. Penny enjoys a good zombie cocktail as much as the next, but the one this voodoo witch is passing about, will put you six feet under.
The deeper she digs, the more secrets she unearths, unfortunately someone wants their secrets kept next to their victims, and they're willing to bury Penny and her crew alongside. Can they unearth the killer’s identity or will the Festival of the Dead turn into a funeral for the living?
