Book Summary

Poisons, prophecies-and a peculiar past . . . When a local woman begins searching for a couple she hasn’t seen since the 1960s, Redwood Cove Bed and Breakfast manager Kelly Jackson and the crime-solving group, the “Silver Sentinels,” are quick to help out. They’re also quick to guess that they’re in over their heads after the woman is found dead beside the body of a Greek fortune teller-and a fellow Sentinel gets attacked. As Kelly juggles work and her responsibilities at a food and wine festival in town, she and her sleuthing posse must confront a killer obsessed with old secrets . . . and solve a murder mystery more than fifty years in the making . . .

Book Review by Bree Herron

Janet Finsilver, why haven’t I read your work before? I was so enthralled with Murder at the the Fortune Teller’s Table that I read it twice in one weekend. I appreciated the depth of the characters, and I loved the Greek culture.

This book instantly had me spellbound, I loved the charming town Redwood Cove, and the charming B&B. Kelly was the perfect main character, with her brilliance and sleuthing ability. I was drawn to her inquisitive mind, that led this reader through a fabulous death and murder investigation. I really enjoyed that this was a mystery years in the making with past mixing with the present.

I felt that Janet gave such depth into honoring the Greek heritage to Auntie. Auntie was brief but loved in this book. I really loved the mystic side of the fortune teller story, giving it a realistic vibe. I was humbled when reading in the final chapters the mourning and love that even as a reader I could sense the characters really had for Auntie.

Kelly charmed the socks right off of this reader, and if I had a crystal ball I would predict she would to you as well. Now go get the book and have the fortunate chance to experience the adventure!

  I had a lot of fun doing research for this book. Much of the Greek culture part came from a friend that grew up in a very traditional Greek family.

A Bed & Breakfast is a perfect setting for a murder.

  The setting is a lot of fun to write about. I’ve created theme rooms which has increased my research which I enjoy.
