In The Thief Catcher, book two of the Delia Frost Mystery Series, author Jonette Blake transports the reader to the Windswept Resort on Majestic Island, in North Queensland, Australia, for an intriguing mystery story that will keep the reader turning the pages.

After dealing with a serial killer in The Widow Catcher, book one of the series, Delia is ready for a relaxing family holiday with husband Richard and her adult children, Georgia and Tristan. What starts out as a promising holiday at the tropical resort turns into a harrowing time when the resort has a murderous thief hiding among the vacationers. Delia's radar goes into overdrive when she catches wind of the thefts and murders that occur at the resort, and she finds herself caught up in the middle of the danger when her family's lives are threatened. Can Delia and her family escape the series of thefts, or will they find themselves in the murderous thief's crosshairs?

Author Jonette Blake weaves a suspenseful tale that follows Delia's latest ordeal with danger when a thief is among the vacationers at the tropical island resort. The reader will be easily drawn into this intriguing plot, as the author keeps the readers guessing the identity of the thief, and what items they were determined to steal. And if that isn't enough to put a wrinkle in Delia's need for a peaceful family holiday, she also has to deal with family dramas, secrets and shenanigans. As clues are uncovered, the reader will be drawn into the suspense, and surprising twists and turns that lead to the identity of the thief, while also learning more about the intricacy of Delia's family dynamic.

I look forward to reading more of Delia's future adventures in The Delia Frost Mystery Series.
