A good teaching about hungry ghosts in each of our lives - wrapped up as an intriguing mystery. It seems likely that it may have been what Susan Dunlap intended, and it worked!

Very helpful. I just wrapped a novel about hungry ghosts and this book was very informative.

When she was sixteen and living with her family in San Francisco, her older brother Mike walked out of the house never to be seen again. She returns to the City by the Bay years later to work as a stunt double and as an assistant to Zen teacher Leo Garson. Just as she is about to take a dive off a building, Darcy Lott notices on the rooftop of the Victorian opposite where she is a red haired man who from this distance looks like Mike.

A stunned Darcy describes the man to Leo; he informs her, the man is her new landlord Eamon Lafferty who gave them rent free apartments for six months and decorated the place for a gala for high end clients. On the night of the reception celebrating the zen center's opening, Darcy sees her long time friend Tia Dru, who is Eamon's escort. The two pals find and old concealed tunnel and enter it though for Tia the journey is painful. Darcy goes to see Tia for lunch only to find her buddy vanished. In Leo's room she finds Tia's corpse. Obviously Leo is a person of interest to the police, but Darcy believes her employer is innocent. Not long afterward, Tia's friend is found murdered in the tunnel. Darcy begins to put the puzzle pieces together going after a perpetrator about to escape with a deadly cargo.

The Darcy Lott mystery series is an exciting tale filled with complex characters some of whom wear masks to hide their deadly agendas. The heroine is an interesting lead character who courts danger like Winnie courts honey. Her need to identify the killer is obsessive yet readers will admire her courage and loyalty. Enhanced by the streets of San Francisco, HUNGRY GHOSTS is an enjoyable amateur sleuth high octane action thriller with plenty of Karma.

Absolutely fantastic! The combination of a zen-loving stunt coordinator as a mystery-solving heroine really held my interest and kept me reading. I am reading the books out of order, having starting with this one, but I didn't feel lost in the story at all. Susan has the perfect balance of atmosphere and action in her writing. I found a new favorite author!
