About the Book



A packed with action romantic mystery with unforgettable characters. "If you're tired of the 21st Century ... pour yourself a martini and open Murder at the Driskill for the perfect escape." -Karla Klyng



Book Synopsis



It's 1953 and reporter Sydney Lockhart and her partner/boyfriend, PI Ralph Dixon, are hobnobbing at a swanky party at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas. Before Sydney finishes her first martini, a gunshot sounds, and future gubernatorial candidate, Leland Tatum, is found dead in the Yellow Rose Suite down the hall. With wit and humor, Syndey finds herself embroiled in another hotel murder.


Sydney and Dixon have just opened their new detective agency when a high-profile case walks through the door. The sleuthing couple are hired by a campaign manager to discover what possible opposition research could ruin his gubernatorial candidate's chances to win. But before they can begin their investigation the candidate is murdered in a room next to the Yellow Rose Suite in the famous Driskill Hotel.


The 1950s were seldom as exciting as in these fast-paced and funny mysteries, which are packed with action right to the end. What will bring you back to the next Sydney Lockhart novel, though, is the snappy dialogue and the cast of memorable characters. If you're tired of the 21st Century, or just need a little break from it, pour yourself a martini and open Murder at the Driskill for the perfect escape.

Review Quotes




"A no nonsense, tightly crafted page turner with laugh-out-loud moments."

- Dan Andriacco, author of "No Place Like Holmes"


"Murder at the Galvez is sheer fun! I adored this whodunit from start to finish, partly because of the exotic setting of a historic hotel on Gulf Coast island, partly because of the quirky characters and light-hearted tone, but mostly because of the spunky, indomitable spirit of its heroine, Sydney Lockhart. Kaska takes us on a breath-holding, page-turning thrill ride."

- Saralyn Richard, award-winning author of the Detective Parrott mystery series and A Murder of Principal


"With the tenacity of a terrier and her hilarious antics to solve murders, Sydney Lockhart will whisk you away on a vintage sleuthing ride to Galveston, Texas. Murder at the Galvez has a smidge of romance, a dash of curiosity and a whole lot of snooping makes this historic hotel series funny and original. Never a dull moment, with rollicking scenes that will entice you until the very end, The Sydney Lockhart Series is witty, engaging, and a perfect cozy mystery read."

- Minette Lauren, author of the Hot Magnolia series.
