One of her clients is a know it all about Hemingway and is fond of spouting his knowledge to anyone who will listen. Walter manages to antagonize nearly everyone with his belligerent behavior. While in Sloppy Joe's, he nearly gets into a fist fight with one of the "Papa" look a likes.
When Walter is found dead on the beach outside their hotel and the police focus on one of Delilah's other tour guests, Delilah gets drawn into another investigation. Given Walter's contentious behavior, many of the guest had run ins with him and she has to sort out who might have real motive.
Once again, Delilah will beat the police to the identity of the killer and place her life in danger as she works to resolve the case.
FOR WHOM THE FUNERAL BELL TOLLS was an enjoyable read with some very intriguing moments. Ms. Washburn writes some believable characters with such an eclectic mix that it is hard not to be drawn into the story.
Book Summary
Delilah takes a tour group to Key West, Florida, to visit the house where Ernest Hemingway lived and wrote during the Thirties, along with all the tropical attractions that Key West has to offer. Key West is a funky but beautiful place, of course, but then death intrudes when one of the tourists appears to commit suicide by killing himself with a shotgun in what seems to be an attempt to recreate Hemingway's suicide. Naturally, though, the "suicide" turns out to be murder, and once more Delilah finds herself trying to find a killer. Nazi spies? U–boats run aground on Caribbean islands? Buried treasure? Modern–day pirates and drug smugglers? Delilah will have her hands full sorting out this one.
