Who Done It? Theresa Jenner Garrido 9781625530257 Books

Beaufort, Walterboro, and all the area on up to Charleston---yes, I recognized it. I could smell the cook making Frogmore Stew [damnyankees and the uninformed call it low country boil, but I got the name right even though it is not specifically mentioned in this very fine, and low country accurately described, book set in the seaside town].

Ah, seaside town. Does this place have a name? Try Turtle Back Island.

I'm from that low country, but I'd never heard of Turtle Back Island---kinda like not many people have ever heard of Coosawhatchie in that same low country part of South Carolina. You see, Theresa has been there. She knows the setting of this book I'd call excellent, if she hadn't kept me from solving the mystery [by the awesome way she made the clues such a normal part of daily living in that place that you never suspected they were clues]. She writes in first person as Alexandria Matthews [called Alex] and describes the ocean, the Spanish moss, the haunted house. . .

Oh, did I mention her vacation, with a young whippersnapper named Agatha Blanchard [age 63] and Dorothea Pennington Holmes---an oldster [age 80] they called Ducky---to investigate a haunted house. In the process they run into a serial killer, an. alligator named Old Nero large enough to swallow a person alive, and a mysterious tower room with a telescope through which Alex sees Old Nero?

The house was remodeled to become a Bed and Breakfast location for tourists. The Bed and Breakfast had lots of reservations. That is, until residents found their clothes and belongings scattered over their bed and room. One even found a mouse with a wood skewer through the heart. in the room when they returned. This haunting behavior caused residents to flee.

This was the mystery Agatha asked Alex and Ducky to solve. But ghosts don't murder young women and make them disappear. Alex finds out who does, much to her sorrow.. For she finds herself the next, not-so-young, on the killer's list. She is to be killed and disposed of like the others.

If I have a bone to pick [pardon the cliche] with the author, it is at this point. But wait. More about the story. And I'll give Theresa credit. She provided the clues. Wiser readers will likely think me a dunce for not recognizing them. But in my own defense, I was sucked right into the story so that the clues slipped right by.

You see, this 57-year-old old lady [not really old---I'm 83] travels to a seaside town for a vacation. She finds that this haunted house she is staying in has been tended by a gardener forever [or so it seems]. He tells them where they can go in the house and where to avoid going to prevent falling through the floor and the like. He is very sweet---and especially sweet to Alex. He takes her to the best restaurant in town, shows her his rose garden and is more boring than this review. He's obvious suspect number one.

Then there's this cook named Babideau [called Babi], with a Cajun accent, who keeps making Cajun language warnings about their attempts to solve the reason the house is haunted. You believe this cook could win any cooking contest, and she's the one whose imaginary Frogmore Stew I could smell cooking. I was intrigued by the way she was in the house cooking tempting breakfasts even when all the doors were locked and bolted on the inside so no one outside could get in, without breaking the door down. Theresa Jenner Garrido never explained how Babi got into the locked house. Obvious suspect number two.

Then there was the gorgeous young man from out of town---Savannah I think---who's been hired for odd jobs and is painting a shed. Obvious suspect number three.

A Real Estate agent desperately wants to buy the house, obvious suspect as ghost-maker.

Curiosity-minded woman living across the street, lurks in the mind as a possible suspect for Alex.

Plenty of suspects for the mystery fans to consider as possible ghost-makers. And to consider as one mystery creator, the serial killer also the ghost-maker, or two mystery creators---one a ghost maker, and another serial killer to beware of, but not connected with ghost making.

It is a fascinating story, a brilliant mystery/mysteries, and a wonderful read. Highly recommended for mystery fans and others alike.

I love you.

Who Done It? Theresa Jenner Garrido 9781625530257 Books Reviews

Loved this book. Story line kept me guessing as to who did it? Loved the characters and down homeyness of the story. Looking forward to her next book.
I loved the characters in this book and they all were "characters". Humor and mystery all rolled into one. The author was so vivid in her writing that the Bed and Breakfast, and the people turned out to be my best friends. Perfect cozy mystery.
The main characters are very believable. It's nice to see some middle age and elderly female sleuths having the fun.
I was given a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.

I love a good Cozy—and this one by Theresa Jenner Garrido is perfect.
Alex and her friend Agatha may be teetering a bit beyond middle age, but these lively women are busy, adventurous ladies. So when Agatha calls Alex to tell her that a college roommate may lose her recently renovated Victorian B&B to ghosts—well, something is definitely driving away the customers—and the friend is about to lose all that money she spent renovating her inherited treasure, unless she can find out who, or what, is causing all this trouble.

Besides, the B&B is on a small island on the outer banks, so if nothing else, this is will be a fun trip and Alex is excited to go along. Naturally, the trip includes the spritely 80 year old Dorthea, aka Ducky, author of two thrillers, and a natural at uncovering mysteries.
They arrive to find the place is as described—the three story Victorian is a jewel and beachfront views to die for—and it soon becomes apparent that the dying part may be closer than they all thought when the "ghost" continues to try to drive them out.
But when the ladies discover a secret that the locals would prefer not to talk about—after all, murder is bad for tourism. A few years ago, the body of a strangled young woman was found on the beach close to the B&B. Now the ladies see a reason to investigate and Ducky uncovers another mystery—four more young women have gone missing on the island over the years.
Suspects are kept to a small list—the long time grounds keeper, who attaches himself to Alex and has an interesting collection of roses, the smarmy young assistant, the taciturn Cajun cook, and a greedy real estate woman who would do just about anything to get her hands on the B&B.

I don't know if Turtle Beach Island is a real place or not, but I've always wanted to visit the outer banks near this part of the U.S., and the author certainly whet my appetite for a visit.
Tightly plotted, clever and witty dialogue, great characters! Highly recommended!
I loved the characters because I could relate to them.
The South Carolina setting was interesting and informative. Made me want to go for an ocean swim.
The book is well written and the suspense built to an unexpected but facisinating ending.
I will certainly look for more books from Garrido.

It had a slow start and some parts were distracting but in the end was an enjoyable mystery.
Reviewer Elva Cobb Martin, President, American Christian Fiction Writers – South Carolina Chapter 12/28/13

If you enjoy well-written, humorous, but serious, cozy mysteries, especially those festering in the Carolina Low Country; you will enjoy Who Done It. In the ghostly setting of a secret-filled Victorian mansion; a hilarious group of sleuthing ladies past 50, a strange Cajun cook and an insane, but romantic gardener, will keep you turning pages to the final shocking revelation of who, indeed, did in half a dozen victims and got away with it. Almost.

I really like this author’s voice, her humor, her plotting and well-drawn characters. This exciting mystery kept me wondering until the last chapter. It was written for a secular market but would have read just as well without the frequent alcohol consumption and use of curse words.
