F Lancaster (Foxtrot) is the administrative assistant to Zelda
Zoransky (ZZ). Judging by the way ZZ spends her money she
may be a zillionaire. ZZ lives on a big estate with a private
zoo and a live-in Vet. She has a large garden and a pet cemetary
next door. She also has her own security. ZZ loves to entertain
interesting people, so there are a lot of characters passing
through her salon. ZZ's concern right now is a stray dog that
no one can catch. Head of Security thinks someone is out to
get ZZ. Foxtrot lucks out and finds the stray dog - and a
new mission in life
Eventually, Foxtrot discovers someone
really is after ZZ, and it's Foxtrot's divine job to save
her. Foxtrot gets a little paranormal help and experiences
some paranormal danger. Lucky for her there's a little romance
to even it all out.
You really don't get the full story when you read the blurb
on the cover, which is great because the readers gets to discover
for themselves how entertaining this group of characters can
be. In the first few chapters I thought hmm
I don't
know
But as the storyline moved, the characters developed
and the mystery unfolded, I sat back and enjoyed it. By the
end I was hooked and now look forward to the next in series.
What hooked me? Foxtrot's relationship with her ghostly cat
and the kind-hearted shape-shifting dog; the verbal sparring
among the animals; the intricate mystery and the author's
humor throughout. The Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot series fits
today's paranormal interests, which makes it stand out. But
even better, the author goes beyond ghosts to make this series
quite unique
If you enjoy cozy mysteries with a twist,
you'll enjoy this series.
