As we open this read, our girl is with her fiance, and at one of the 400's get together, and as we end this book we are with Drusilla and her fiance in Chicago, Il. The journey between the two is a page turner, filled with chuckles, and a lot of action. Yes, there are some guns and knives, but also ghosts, and other nefarious happenings. Loved the ferrets, and how they acted! The bad part of this read, was that I have to wait a year for the next book! If you enjoy a good read with lots of humor, and at times a lot of serious action, this one meets all that and more! Will this wealthy family get their money back, and in the end I am still waiting for them to find their missing aunt! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
