Maggie and her family are delighted to have a full house at their bed and breakfast as summer is coming to an end. However, the elderly couple is a real pain, so no one is too upset when they both die within minutes of each other. The sheriff is sure that one of them was murdered, and since he has a vendetta against Maggie’s family, she’s going to have to find the killer. Can she do it?

This is a fun mystery with a great setting in Louisiana Cajun country. Maggie a great main character, and her Gran makes a fantastic sidekick. I did feel the mystery slowed down a time or two, but the clues were all there and it reached a great climax.

Amazing. Colorful.
Coco is a solid 10. I can't believe how wonderful it is. It's one of my son's favorites, so I've seen it enough times to tell you the whole story by heart... but the gist is

Miguel wants to play music. His family is against music due to a long dead grandmothers vendetta. (This movie centers around the legend of the Land of The Dead, and Dia de los Muertos.) Miguel will do whatever it takes to achieve his dream of being a famous musician! He travels to thr Land of the Dead and goes on an adventure with his decesed relatives to get back home to the Land of the living.

This movie is a tale of friendship, trust and familial bonds. It is a wonderfully colorful movie with a great learning experience for people who don't know about Dia de los Muertos. It's full of wonderful music and an incredible journey.
