Is there such a thing as a fun romp through a cemetery filled with open graves, dead monks and a few natives carrying pitch forks and torches?  In her latest Wendy Darlin’ adventure Barbara Silkstone creates just the right environment to make the reader say ewwwwww, ohhhhhh, and oh my goodness. And “yes Virginia” a fun romp commences.Wendy and her beloved Professor Roger Jolley are off on a destination wedding adventure with Wendy’s friend Kit, the most unusual nail tech and female impersonator in Miami.  In this tongue in cheek tale that will have you laughing out loud and running to get your garlic cloves strung, Wendy meets more unusual people with names that smack of old noir film characters, one who has a taste for cockroach crunchies, and a sweet little vamp who goes for the vino stashed in the vast wine cellar beneath the Abbey.Don’t miss you chance to meet Renfield, Bram, Squirl, and the many gullible natives who populate a superstitious village far from the steamy streets of Miami. Throw in an unscrupulous politician, a dead ex-husband and a cast of characters that make Rocky Horror look tame by comparison.  [Enter stage left the Vatican Vampire Investigators’ SWAT team come to rid the land of vampires and evil doers.]Another screwball Wendy Darlin' comedy to tickle your funny bones.
