Goldie Vance: The Hotel Whodunit by Lilliam Rivera
4.0
Goldie is a sleuth, and a pretty darn good one! She works with a bunch of fun characters at the Crossed Palms Resort and lives there too, with her father Art. She spends as much time as she can next door at the place her mom, Sylvia works, The Mermaid Club. I loved her family. Her mom and dad divorced because they knew they were better as best friends (how sweet)... Her best friend Cheryl is the hotel concierge and the two of them are constantly running around the place.
Right now, though, the resort is overrun with people because a new creature feature is being filmed in town. That is why when Delphine, the stunning actress arrives security is amped up. At The Mermaid Club, Delphine is shooting a very important scene in which she is swimming with a gorgeous diamond encrusted swim cap. The lights go out and when they come back on and people are searching for the cap, they find it to be missing. And Sylvia is the lead suspect.
Now, Goldie has to do what she does best to save her mom from taking the blame. And it was so fun!! The characters were all so colorful and great. The story was fun and moved at such a great pace. I am not one to go for middle grade, but this was a treat!
