About this listen

A flamboyant funeral. A dashing gigolo. Can this psychic sleuth beat the odds on murder?

Mitzy Moon is never one to celebrate death. But a compelling invitation to a 1920s-themed memorial service aboard a riverboat casino entices her to take a gamble. And the only thing hotter than the tables is the newly wealthy widower - until he disappears.

Despite the extravagant decor, Mitzy smells a rat in designer clothing. And warnings from the sexy sheriff, her meddling Ghost-ma, and a spoiled feline all fall on deaf ears, as the list of greedy suspects grows with every spin of the wheel. She’ll have to play her cards just right, or end up on a fatal losing streak!

Can Mitzy win against the house, or will she double down on death?

Wakes and High Stakes is the eighth book in the hilarious paranormal cozy mystery series, Mitzy Moon Mysteries. If you like snarky heroines, supernatural intrigue, and a dash of romance, then you’ll love Trixie Silvertale’s dicey whodunit.

The story takes a while to capture the attention compared to the previous books.
There are a couple of slips from Marlo in changing voices, but, all in all, it has been a delightful performance.
It is an intriguing mystery, full of revelations and twists.
Definitely loved it!

A pleasure to listen to.

I loved how Ghost-ma played a big part in this installment and was her ever entertaining self. I really enjoyed the interaction between Mitzy and her Ghost-ma! And Erick and Mitzy - they are just so cute together! I just love everything about this series, and this story! I love the style, the characters, the way the story is written. Awesome!!!

This book was so well-written, so engaging, really really good. And at the end there is a surprise which makes me curious for the next book!

The narrator brings the story come to live. She’s good and really adds to the story. I love her different voices.

Another awesome book in this entertaining series!

I enjoyed this little mystery and boy does the author up the stakes with the ending. It doesn't really end on a cliff hanger because the murder does get solved nicely but it does set it up to continue on into the next book, so be prepared to want/need to get the next book. Which I can guarantee you will want to do not only to find out what happens next but because it is a great series. I have really enjoyed the series and this book in particular because of the great characters. They are a lot of fun with things like a ghost helping Mitzy with her undercover disguises, to a cat giving them clues by knocking off books to, name just a few of the unique and quirky characters. I like the super natural side to the story and think unlike some books it really helps the story stand out and is a fun addition. The mystery was also good and kept me guessing, as there was plenty of suspects. I can't wait for the next book.
Mitzy finds herself attending a funeral so she can report back to her ghost-ma on who attended her arch enemies wakeq and what they were wearing. Mitzy wishes the strangest thing to happen was it taking place on a casino riverboat but somebody raises the stakes by killing off the not so grieving widow. Was it over a gambling problem or is somebody after the inheritance? Mitzy can't help but get involved when the ghost asks her to find her killer. Nobody suspected the first death was murder, so could the two be connected or is somebody just covering up a secret? To get close to the most likely suspects the dead woman's own family, Mitzy will have to go undercover to learn there secrets but did one of them killer there mother and step father?
I like the narrator. She helps build up the spence and mystery with just the way she talks and very entertaining.

This series gets better and better, once I start I cannot put them down. Mitzy investigated a murder on a yacht and at the wake for the victims wife. The story is excellent as I have come the expect, Mitzy is her usual sarcastic best with a wicked knee. This time we have another rival ghost in the mix. Great mystery with a great climax and a shocking ending that sets up for the next book in the series. The narration is great as usual although an accent slips a couple of times but I'm just being picky. I am looking forward to the next book. I received a complimentary copy from and am leaving a voluntary honest review

A cracking mystery
