A flamboyant funeral. A dashing gigolo. Can this psychic sleuth beat the odds on murder?
Mitzy Moon is never one to celebrate death. But a compelling invitation to a 1920s themed memorial service, aboard a riverboat casino, entices her to take a gamble. And the only thing hotter than the tables is the newly wealthy widower—until he disappears.

Despite the extravagant decor, Mitzy smells a rat in designer clothing. And warnings from the sexy sheriff, her meddling Ghost-ma, and a spoiled feline all fall on deaf ears, as the list of greedy suspects grows with every spin of the wheel. She’ll have to play her cards just right or end up on a fatal losing streak!

Can Mitzy win against the house, or will she double down on death?

Wakes and High Stakes is the eighth book in the hilarious paranormal cozy mystery series, Mitzy Moon Mysteries. If you like snarky heroines, supernatural intrigue, and a dash of romance, then you’ll love Trixie Silvertale’s dicey whodunit.

My Review

This series keeps getting better and better!

Mitzy Moon finally has a family since she inherited her grandmother’s bookstore. She’s gotten to know her father and Grams (in her ghostly form). All of the main characters are unique, flawed, and loveable. Mitzy is clumsy, smart, and hilarious. Grams is a force of nature. Erick, the sheriff may be the closest to perfect any person can get, but that may be because he’s seen through Mitzy’s eyes.

Mitzy is invited to a funeral for a socialite because of her grandmother’s association with high society. During the wake, there’s a murder! Mitzy is able to worm her way into the mansion of the deceased (the first one), and meets her ghost. She promises the ghost that she will try to find out who murdered her.

The relationship between Mitzy and Erick is slowly evolving. It’s obvious that they care for each other, but Erick knows that Mitzy is hiding something from him about how she always has so much information. Is he ready to hear that she’s psychic and talks to ghosts? She doesn’t think so!

I always like the Mitzy Moon stories, but I’m really looking forward to the next book because Mitzy is going to learn more about her mother who died when she was just 11. I can’t wait!
