I always love finding a new cozy mystery to read that has
the most vibrant
characters that you cannot put down and FETA ATTRACTION by
Susannah Hardy
is one of them! With this novel being the first in a
series, Susannah Hardy has a
great beginning to the Greek To Me mystery that you
cannot help but get
hooked on immediately. This storyline has many surprises
and twists that you do
not see coming and with the turning of each page more
surprises happen.
Without giving spoilers, I have to say what I thought
would happen did not
happen in any way that I could have guessed. FETA
ATTRACTION has a definite shocker at
the end.
Georgia Nikolopatos' husband, Spiro is missing and there
has been a
murder of another nearby restaurant owner that leaves her
worried for her
husband's safety. After she finds the body of "Big Dom"
floating in water in
attempts to find Spiro, Georgia contemplates on what she
should do next and
whom she can trust. While trying to run their Greek
restaurant and get to the
bottom of his disappearance she meets other startling
locals as well as non-
locals in her search for answers. This leaves her trying
to decide where she can
rely on for help and where it might be a mistake.
What a humorous story FETA ATTRACTION is with a hilarious
main character
like Georgia filled with wits that keeps you anchored down
to the end. The rest of
the characters in the North Country where it takes place
are just as entertaining
with each one having their own colorful personalities. It
is such an easy to read
novel that keeps your interest. And at the end it gave me
some big surprises.
Another great plus about this mystery is that it comes
with mouth watering
Greek recipes in the back!
Susannah Hardy wrote an excellent new mystery with
FETA ATTRACTION that it is sure to be a wonderful addition
to anyone's cozy
mystery collection.
SUMMARY
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!
