Delphi, South Dakota is a dusty little prairie town, the kind people drive through on their way to bigger cities. But as Tory Bauer, middle-aged, widowed, overweight, cranky waitress might say, “Everything that happens in big towns, happens here too. We just don’t look as good naked.”
In The Hotel South Dakota the third of six mysteries featuring the crew at the Delphi Café, the return of the 1969 Homecoming Queen, a B Movie Actress and the town's one and only claim to fame, triggers memories of an old kegger at the river, mysterious disappearances, and a death that was never fully explained. When history repeats itself, Tory reluctantly steps in to solve the puzzle.

Tory Bauer is a recently widowed, overweight waitress in a small town Delphi South Dakota. She is very witty so there is humor in the series. This is the third book in the Tory Bauer Mystery series.A H.S. reunion is being planned. The story goes back and forth to the mystery of the 1969 class reunion and the current class reunion. The 1969 reunion had tragedy and mystery. It ended in a kegger party by a river. One of the classmates was found dead, due to drowning, and the King and Queen disappeared for 3 days which set tongues wagging as they had steady girl/boy friends. One did come back to town and the other ended up being a Hollywood movie star. She hadn't returned to town since the party by the river.
The new reunion is all abuzz due to the return of the now famous Hollywood classmate star. They are going to go back to the river for the after game party again. Will this reunion parallel the 1969 reunion with death and a mystery?
This series has been called a cozy mystery due to the amateur sleuth and small town but it is far edgier than a cozy due to some language and some sexual content (never graphic) There are 6 books in the series. It is a fun and humorous series. I said in a past review that due to the humor it reminded me somewhat of Joan Hess or Janet Evanovich writings. The first book in the series is Funeral Food

THE HOTEL SOUTH DAKOTA
Kathleen Taylor
Avon, Mar 1997, $5.99, 304 pp.
ISBN 0-380-78356-8
The South Dakota town of Delphi is going all out for the festivities surrounding its seventy-fifth anniversary Football Homecoming parade/game and the All School Reunion that would follow. Even waitress Tory Bover, who couldn't care about sports, is caught up in the enthusiasm. Tory is excited because Janelle Ross, known to the rest of the world as J. Ross Nelson, Hollywood actress and tabloid star is returning to her hometown for the first time in twenty five years. She left unexpectedly after a friend of hers drowned in the Jim River and was never seen anywhere near-south Dakota again.
Just like twenty five years ago the old timers have a second after football party at the Jim River, and just like the first one, somebody else dies. This time it is the obnoxious bullying football coach Doug Fischbach. Doug had played a key drama in the first party as well since he ran off with Janelle only to return (sans Janelle) three days later, smirking and smug. Now Janelle is missing and the whole town is in an uproar trying to piece together what happened. Tony, who thinks there is a connection between the two deaths even though they occurred twenty-five years apart, is determined to discover the link in order to get at the truth, no matter who gets hurt, even herself.
Readers who found SEX AND SALMONELLA entertaining, witty and exciting will be even more enthralled with the HOTEL SOUTH DAKOTA, the latest Tory Bover mystery. The denizens of Delphi are a fascinating and eccentric lot with more layers than an onion, but they are so down home that readers will find themselves wishing they lived in a town exactly like that one. It is the heroine, an overweight middle aged widow who has more spunk, personality, and courage than she knows what to do with, who captures attention and hearts. A terrific read by a very talented and multidimensional author.

Please read all the mysteries in this great series by friend and paper doll collector Kathy Taylor. Wish she would write more about Tory.
Another HIT from Kathleen Taylor.
Just South Dakota fun!
Though I like the series this was a very tedious and slow read.The 2 previous books had been much more entertaining..I had a hard time wanting to finish it but I did after all pay money for it.Not recommended.
The folks in Delphi South Dakota are planning a big high school reunion and reminiscing about the past. One of the things they are remembering is the death of Butchie Pendergast in 1969 at a kegger party by the river following the Homecoming celebrations. At the time, it was assumed to be a drowning accident. But was it? Twenty years later history seems to be repeating itself and Tory Bauer wants to know the truth. Along with a good mystery, told with humor and suspense, there are some good life lessons served up in this one. I've read three Tory Bauer mysteries now, and every one of them is a winner.
This is a great advance on the one before it, which apparently had two titles and two publishers and was really the second in the series. There's a site called "stop you're killing me" which helps to solve that mystery. The heroine/detective, Tory Bauer, is an overweight widowed waitress.
It's full of American high school ambience, which I'm not familiar with but found intriguing. It centers on a high school reunion in a small town in the upper Midwest. A death ocurred thirty years previously and the circumstances of that death are mysteriously re-enacted. Partly because they're all middle-aged mid-Westerners (do I put capital letters in the right place?} the large cast of characters gets confusing but after the first hundred pages I figured who was who and then it rapidly accelerates into a page turner (but without any major violence) towards the end.
