Description
Ample-bodied, salty-tongued waitress Tory Bauer is no longer taking orders from anyone -- now that she has become co-owner of the only café in tiny Delphi, South Dakota. And since corpses on the premises are bad for business, Tory is understandably peeved when a young Swedish member of a traveling international choral group keels over in one of the booths, leaving a suicide note behind claiming a sexual predator, the Reverend Clay Deibert, drove her to it. Now Tory knows Clay is the show more straightest of straight arrows -- he's also Tory's cousin by marriage -- and she suspects slutty Meg, the only Canadian in the chorus, is responsible for this mess in some way or another. But when a dead body winds up stuffed into Clay's closet, Tory realizes that clearing the reverend might be tougher than finding a sarong in Saskatchewan. Like the Mounties, however, Tory's determined to get her man (or woman) -- unless the murdering he (or she) gets Tory first. show lessTags

Series: #6 Tory Bauer
Setting: present-day Delphi, South Dakota
Rating: A
It's still winter in Delphi, South Dakota, and an international choral group
is staying in town. All the young choir members decide to pig out at the
Delphi Café, and Tory and her staff have their hands full with the
rambunctious teenagers. The place is hopping and no one pays much attention
to the quiet young Swedish girl sitting in a booth by herself...until she
winds up face down in her food. To top it all off, she leaves behind a
suicide note accusing straight arrow Reverend Clay Deibert of molesting her.
Tory's been down Trust Boulevard a few times, but one thing she remains
certain of: there's no way, no how that Clay Deibert is guilty as charged.
She's going to prove show more it. Of course it doesn't help matters much when, in the
midst of her investigation, another body turns up stuffed into Clay's church
office closet. But...where there's a will there's a way.
This is, *very* lamentably, the last in the Tory Bauer series. I'll miss
these people. I really felt as if I knew each and every one of them. But as
I read the end of Foreign Body, I realized that Tory had come full circle.
Taylor meant for the series to end when it did. I sincerely hope that she's
busy writing a brand-new series full of wonderful characters! show less
