Blurb/Summary:
Stevie and Win here, back in the mystery solving saddle again!
Cary Donahue, owns Pretty Fly for a Fry Guy, a new place in Eb Falls, where all
manner of the most decadent crispy French fry combinations this side of the
planet are made. Imagine tender brisket, smoked and sliced to perfection on a
bed of cheesy fries, topped with tangy barbecue sauce.
To say I’d found my new home away from home is an understatement, much to the
dismay of Win and my cholesterol. But when Cary is quite suddenly unalived, all
of Eb Falls is in shock.
Who would harm the man who served bits of fried, starchy Heaven with a smile
and a kind word?
Of course, Cary appears to us from the afterlife, looking for our help to solve
his murder, but in a strange turn of events and quite suddenly, I can hear him and Win can see him. Taken aback by this new twist in our ghostly communications,
we’re even more surprised to find Cary isn’t communicating in choppy sentences
and vague appearances the way most entities we deal with do. He's clear as a
bell, so solving his murder should be a piece of cake, right?
Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
But there’s just one small problem, Cary isn’t in possession of the entirety of
his memories—as in, almost any of his past or much of what he remembers weeks
before he was murdered.
Figures, right? But we jump in feet first anyway, and as we peel back the
layers of Cary’s life, we discover far more than we bargained for.
A hidden past, tawdry secrets, lies, powerful people in high places, and more
murder than you can shake a stick at!
Review:
Fabulous trip back into Eb Falls for another delightful story. Dakota Cassidy keeps it interesting by changing up Win and Stevie’s ghostly abilities. If this becomes an ever-changing dynamic, it will keep the stories fresh and engaging on another level.
This installment had everything a reader has come to expect from this series: witty dialogue, crazy ideas implemented, fun interpersonal relationships between the main characters, small town gossip, and even some ghost gossip. This story had a great plot, surprising plot twists, and was a page-turner.
The Case Of The Phantom Spy And The Haunted French Fry was a wonderful tale. Not including the ghostly and magical activity, this plot seems entirely plausible in real life. The paranormal aspect lent to and brought about the actual consequences for the criminals. I think the consequences were the part that seemed more fictional than the rest! Terrific addition to the Witched and Hitched Mysteries series.
