My Review:
Reviewed by Sandra Olshaski
This is book 7 in the Amelia Moore Detective Series and
as usual, the author delivers a delightful, fairly fast-paced tale in the
pursuit of a missing person, for that's what Amelia's agency specializes in.
This time it is personal, as Rick's uncle Antonio Bonito dies in suspicious
circumstances at the age of 48. Amelia and Rick are on the hunt for an answer.
But what do lighthouses have to do with his disappearance?
The reader gets a glimpse into the warm, lively Italian
Bonito family that Amelia has married into. They seem to be ordinary people,
but as in every family, there are secrets that gradually become unravelled.
Each of the previous six books in the series has revealed
bits and parts of Rick and Amelia; this book is no different, as the reader
comes to understand why Rick is so zealous about his gym appointments. And why
Amelia savours being part of her new family. The character development is
complete with this latest and last tale about Amelia and Rick.
The reader gets a brief education into lighthouses, their
importance in the past and the interesting uses they have today.
I enjoyed learning about Palm Springs, California, the
home of many Hollywood starts of the past like Elvis, Bing Crosby, Cary Grant, and
Bob Hope.
I wholeheartedly recommend this cozy mystery. I'm going
to miss Amelia and Rick, but wish them well!
