POOL YOUR RESOURCES...
 

After two hit reality TV shows brought ex-detective Georgia Thornton into America’s living rooms, audiences can’t get enough of her quest for love and justice. Now producers have come up with an all-new show set in a haunted castle in Golden, California. Georgia and nine other contestants will need to solve the mystery of a young woman who disappeared at the castle in 1960.
          Except there’s one rather substantial problem waiting for everyone when they arrive: a groundskeeper is found drowned at the bottom of the castle’s empty pool. Now Georgia and the other contestants will need to work together, because there’s a different sort of game afoot—and it’s not one they can afford to lose...

Reality can be brutal but author Diana Orgain has created a series with characters that take reality to a new level.

The setting featuring a reality show is one that readers can relate to and for some, long to participate in. The backdrop of a castle believed to be haunted enhances the story. Filled with suspense and intrigue, the story moves at a steady pace holding readers’ attention until the very end.

The core characters are well-developed, likable and realistic. The secondary characters are quirky and add depth to the story.

The blend of a reality show with murder, mystery, and mayhem is a good combination. The addition of personal conflicts among the contestants heightens the story.

THIRD TIME’S A CRIME is a fascinating story that will entertain and have you wondering where reality ends and fantasy begins. The story can be read on its own even though it is the third installment in the series.
