As the owner of Finders Keepers, a business dedicated to finding solutions, gifts, and information that's eager to remain buried, Allie Callas has been desperate for a shot at playing Indiana Jones. Today is her lucky day. She’s got the hat. She’s got the backpack. She’s got the map with an X on it. And now she’s rummaging around in the bushes on a remote and nameless island for a clay pineapple. The job is a dubious success until the handover. One slip of a foot and the Greek island of Merope suddenly has a growing zombie problem.
If zombies aren’t enough to keep Allie busy, she’s been hired to clear a serial killer’s name. All evidence points to Greece’s favorite weatherman’s guilt, but his annoyingly attractive conman cousin insists she can find anything—even if that anything is nothing.
His logic is excruciating.
Allie might have an uncontrollable eye twitch, but she’s determined to enjoy the Christmas lights with her honey, Detective Leo Samaras, and to find a forever home for the enormous dog that’s taking over her home and heart. Although it's starting to look like she could use a sidekick with teeth.
My Thoughts:
This is book 7 in the Greek Ghouls Mysteries series. I still enjoyed reading it. The series is full of outlandish happenings and paranormal activity. A good example of this is that Allie's dead grandmother is hanging around and Allie can see her.
This time around though there are more paranormal beings. We learn more about the man in black. And there are zombies. Some of the zombies are an improvement on the person before they died.
I enjoyed reading about Allie and her crazy life. I like that her relationship with Detective Leo Samaras is heating up. She is a good aunt to her nephew and niece who are also blessed with the ability to see dead people. Her sister still has trouble dealing with all this. There's not a lot of character development in this book, but there will be opportunities for growth in the next addition to the series.
It's frustrating to have to wait for the next book. This one had a bit of a cliffhanger ending. Otherwise, the plot moved along at a good pace. The cliffhanger ending is the only reason I couldn't give it 5 out of 5 stars. Honestly, I hate it when authors use that as a hook.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed the characters and the madcap adventures of Allie and her four-legged companion. I love the humor in the book and the interactions between characters. I would recommend this series and book to people who enjoy humorous paranormal mysteries. And I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
