Jennifer Allison has done a great job in this last book in the Gilda Joyce series. First she set it in one of my favorite places in Florida, St. Augustine. This was the perfect setting to put Gilda in. Gilda’s mom is acting strange and Gilda knows it involves a man. She is not impressed with anything except the fact that the man owns a shop with vintage clothing. This is Gilda’s all time favorite thing. Gilda and her mom fly to Florida for the upcoming wedding. She is to be joined by her brother at a later date. Once he arrives they learn that things are not what they seem. They stumble into trouble that could cost them their lives. Can they help solve a mystery from long ago. You’ve got to read this to find out what Gilda comes up with and how she solves this mystery. This book is full of the fun and mystery that is one hundred percent Gilda Joyce. For me it was full of the history of St. Augustine. Jennifer definitely did her research on this one. If nothing else maybe this will entice the reader to come to St. Augustine to check out some of the wonderful history and maybe even check out a ghost or two. Definitely one of my favorite of her books. ( )

Much to their surprise, Gilda's mother announces that she is marrying a man from St. Augustine, FL and they are all going to go down to meet him and plan the wedding. Gilda becomes friendly with the people who work some of the ghost tours in St. Augustine and meets a girl who has actually seen and talked with ghosts. Gilda feels that the house her mother's fiance is living in is haunted and does some investigating. She also thinks that it is odd that everyone says that her mother looks like his original fiance who dropped him and ran off to France with her new boyfriend many years ago.
