THE READAHOLICS AND THE GOTHIC GALA
Laura DiSilverio

Reviewed by Teresa Cross

Mystery Cozy

Laura DiSilverio's next series in the Book Club Mystery will leave you entertained and at the edge of your seat in anticipation! THE READAHOLIC AND THE GOTHIC GALA is not only hilarious at times but also unpredictable. Books like this are the number one reason why I love cozy mysteries. The characters are always fun and lively, while the storyline is just suspenseful enough to not frighten you but to keep the suspense there to hold your attention. THE READAHOLIC AND THE GOTHIC GALA does just that.

A mysterious man turns up dead at the Gothic Gala -- an event planned by Amy-Faye who just wants to bring together Gothic authors, not host a dead body and a conference full of amateur sleuths. Fingers point to a bloat of suspects; most of the professional writers in the story have one reason or another to want their colleagues dead. Who knew and disliked the mysterious dead man so much that they would consider murder, and what was the motive? As Amy-Faye and other members of the mystery book club try to get to the bottom of things before it is too late, suspicion is up among the authors.

Laura DiSilverio's THE READAHOLIC AND THE GOTHIC GALA is highly recommended if you love a good cozy mystery. I love that the characters are really strong in their relationships, like Amy-Faye and her boyfriend Hart. Even her friendships with the others in the mystery book club seem to have a connection that kept you interested in reading. I look forward to many more in this series!

SUMMARY

One sleuthing book club finds themselves in the midst of
a gothic-esque mystery as they read Du Maurier’s
Rebecca in the latest from the author of The
Readaholics and the Poirot Puzzle
.

Reading the gothic classic Rebecca already has the
Readaholics spooked, and the chills only get worse when
someone in town actually gives up the ghost....

Amy-Faye Johnson has her hands full coordinating the
Celebration of Gothic Novels in Heaven, Colorado. The
festivities start off smoothly, but the weekend is soon
cursed with large egos, old resentments, and uninvited
guests. Matters become truly grave when a dead body is found
at the gothic-themed costume party.

The out-of-town authors claim not to know the victim, but
Amy-Faye has doubts. With skeletons turning up in all of the
suspects’ closets, Amy-Faye and the Readaholics must tap
into their knowledge of gothic literature to find a killer
who lurks in the shadows...
