Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Funny small-town mystery with an interesting lead character. ( ) This is the second in the Tory Bauer mystery series. Tory is a middle aged, overweight waitress at the Delphi Cafe in Delphi, South Dakota, a very plain spoken woman who seems to have developed the bad habit of finding dead bodies. This time, she finds the body of a young carny worker stuffed into the rafters of the Fun House at the carnival that's come to town for Delphi Daze. Though the coroner declares the death to be from natural causes, Tory just can't believe that an otherwise healthy young blonde girl would climb up into those rafters and just die. The carnival is full of suspicious characters and Tory is determined to figure out which one of them "dunit." Full of returning characters, this was an enjoyable book, but it wasn't quite as satisfying as the first one was. I do like the way Tory thinks, though, and will read more in this series. no reviews | add a review

Delphi, South Dakota is a dusty little prairie town, the kind people drive through on their way to bigger cities. But as Tory Bauer, middle-aged, widowed, overweight, cranky waitress might say, "Everything that happens in big towns, happens here too. We just don't look as good naked." In Sex and Salmonella, the second of six mysteries featuring the crew at the Delphi Caf#65533;, Tory is busy enough dealing with twelve year old Presley (her roommate Del's son), the married Stuart McKee, performing in the local talent contest, and the heat and humidity. When she discovers a dead body in the carnival Fun House, Tory's summer spins completely out of control. No library descriptions found. |
