Once again Gilda Liberty is up to her ears in hot water thanks to her wacky family. As readers of Fade to Black know - Gilda is a descendant of a Hollywood family who has made their home in the small town of Eden, Ohio where Gilda recently inherited the Paradise Theater. Gilda's niece Faye asks her for a summer job to help pay the bills while she shoots her documentary on women in sports.Somehow Gilda gets talked into helping Faye with her project and gets them involved in theft (not just of the original videos but of a slice of cheesecake), a fire, death threats and worse - could this be more than a simple documentary or did they capture something they shouldn't have on video?Once again, we get to take a trip into the wild, wacky and wonderful mind of Della Borton and her characters. Again, this is not the most suspenseful or heart pounding mystery but the bizarre world of the Liberties more than makes up for it. It is the little touches that make Della's books really stand out (such as the wonderful private eye that Gilda teams up with - a female Bogart), the missing cheesecake as well as the wonderful movie references. This book will be sure to appeal to mystery and movie lovers everywhere.
