Rocco here! Today Chazz and I review a new book by Lorie Lewis Ham, ONE OF YOU.
With her life on the California Coast behind her, Roxi Carlucci is beginning to feel at home in the Tower District—the cultural oasis of Fresno, CA—where she now lives
where she now lives with her cousin P.I. Stephen Carlucci, her pet rat Merlin, a Pit Bull named Watson,
and a black cat named Dan.
She has a new entertainment podcast, works as a part-time P.I., and is helping local bookstore owner Clark
Halliwell put on the first-ever Tower Halloween Mysteryfest!
The brutal summer heat is gone and has been replaced by the dense tule fog—perfect for Halloween!
She just wishes everyone would stop calling her the “Jessica Fletcher” of the Tower District simply
because she found a dead body when she first arrived. But when one of the Mysteryfest authors
is found dead, she fears she jinxed herself! The Carlucci’s are hired to find the killer before they strike again.
Will Mysteryfest turn into a murder fest? How is the local gossip website back,
and what does it know about the death of Roxi’s parents?
Rocco: I found this to be a very entertaining book, as I did the first in this series.
Roxi is a hoot and of course, who can resist a black cat named Dan?
Love the California theme with the entertainment tie in. jthe Halloween killer theme was also good.
I cant wait to see what that gossip website knows about Roxi's parents! can't wait where Roxi goes from here!
Chazz: I also enjoyed the book. Ms. Ham has created a memorable sleuth in Roxi, and
the California entertainment background I found to be very interesting.
I mean, who has a podcast anand also works as a part time PI with her cousin.
I thought the action at the Halloween Mysteryfest was very well thought out and it did remind me
of episodes of Murder She Wrote.. I'm curious to see where that gossip website goes too!
A four paw winner!
