C Exley Books: Book Tour: A Flair For Goblins by Deborah Garner

NEW RELEASE....
When Sadie Kramer agrees to help decorate for San Francisco’s high- society Halloween Spooktacular, she expects to find whimsical ghosts, skeletons, and jack-o-lanterns when she shows up at the Wainwright Mansion, not a body. Especially not the body of the woman in charge of the charity event.

With two detectives, a paranormal investigator turned television star, and a cauldron full of Wainwright Foundation staff and family members cackling around her, Sadie and her sidekick Yorkie are determined to find out who the killer is. Will an old superstition help lead to the truth? Or will this simply become one more tale in the mansion’s haunted history?

"Deborah Garner is gifted at bringing each character to life. She adds details seamlessly, making it seem like you know these people. She presents scenarios that have you thinking you know who did it, and then in the next sentence you are second guessing yourself. And that is to say, this is a great “who done it” … it gets 2 thumbs up from me :)"

"I loved the quirky charm of Sadie, for she is loveable, -nosey in a fun way- and has the ability of building a rapport with all the weird and wonderful characters on the resort. She is has a knack of finding clues as she goes about her day to day business."

"Deborah Garner is a wonderful, fun author who can deliver a story that you will want to read to the end and the characters are witty, entertaining and a lot of fun."

Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson
‘A Flair For Goblins’ is the latest Sadie Kramer Mystery by author Deborah Garner, and it is perfectly timed for the up and coming Halloween festivities.
Sadie Kramer has been enlisted to help customer and acquaintance Roberta Wainwright in decorating her mansion for a Halloween Spooktacular fundraiser. But unfortunately the mansion has lots of spooky tales associated with it; Goblins, ghosts and various other ghouls that Sadie is determined to shrug off. But when she attends the mansion and hears frightening sounds and discovers a body, Sadie is brought into a whole new mystery. Wondering whether it be paranormal activity or something even more sinister... a murderer.
I have previously read books by this author, so I was already familiar with Sadie and her little Yorkie who she carries around in a tote bag. Her and the little dog always tend to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and in this instance, are the ones to discover the body rather than hear about it. This can be read as a stand-alone and Sadie is endearing and her love of fashion, chocolate and her dog definitely make her an intriguing character in her own right.
Sadie is unable to help herself from getting embroiled in the mystery surrounding the death, and all of the clues she learns, allows you as a reader to guess alongside her.
An exciting read that kept me guessing, and is the idea read for those who love ‘who done it’ murder mysteries and fancy themselves a detective. If you love romance, you also have the sweet chemistry between Sadie and her handsome detective friend Broussard.
I loved the history of the mansion, the intrigue around each and every character, and Garner really brought this Cluedo style mystery to live so that I could vividly imagine it. Thoroughly entertaining.
