Fedora Walks

Rating:
Summary: Ghosts in hats
Review: Julie Bernard dreams of being a detective in Australia, and plays at it sometimes with friends, much to the aggravation of her girlfriend Teresa. Struggling with her relationship with Teresa, Julie meets the alluring Fedora on the same night that a young woman in murdered nearby. Julie soon learns that Fedora isn't what she seems. That is, she isn't a person per se. She is a time-travelling spirit, with a connection to Julie's great-grandmother, who has come to help Julie solve the murder, and locate some missing hats. Really. In a non-stop madcap adventure, Julie finds herself in danger, and unwittingly brings the danger home to Teresa. It's a fun read (and I didn't find it "laugh out loud" funny as the book description claims), and it will appeal to lovers of mysteries by Claire McNab, Mary Wings, and Barbara Wilson.
