Book Twenty-Four is now LIVE! Courtin' Disaster by Cindy Davis - Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles

Courtin' Disaster is not just a beautiful ballad by Neil Diamond, it's also the title of the newest Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles novel by Cindy Davis. This is Cindy's fourth book in the series and it's terrific. If you've read any of the other books she's written for the series, you're aware of Bliss Jager's strange relationship with song lyrics. This time around, as you might've guessed, she can't escape the Neil Diamond song catalog. Hopefully, between the clues found inside the song lyrics and the clues provided by Diablo, her super perceptive toucan, Bliss will be able to help catch a murderer.

Here is the blurb from the book:

Can a yellow throat toucan, and lyrics from Neil Diamond songs, help Bliss solve the murder of a local woman competing in the annual fishing derby?

The phone rings at the crack of dawn. Life for Bliss, Whitney, and Hannah shoots rapidly out of control. First, the only fisherman at the derby is found in her ex-husband's BBQ smoker. Even though Lucy's less-than-sparkling personality offers up a truly diverse group of suspects, her on-again-off-again relationship with the ex makes him the leading suspect. But was it possible for the 120-pounds-soaking-wet man to lift the muscular woman alone?

Next, another murder--also a tournament competitor, and VP at the bank. As far as Bliss knows, the two people's lives never crossed. Is it a coincidence they both die of an insulin overdose? Strange that each of their spouses are diabetics.

A visit in the form of Whitney's deceased exe's brother drops another snag in the day. Nobody "just passes" through Magnolia Bluff, Texas. What's behind Matt's sudden appearance and persistent demands for money?

As the girls decode clues brought by Diablo the toucan, a Tibetan monk arrives to perform a ceremony to transition Merrick's ghost from the general store to the girls' home. Unfortunately, Matt's interference sends Merrick's spirit shooting into the ether. Can they get him back, or is he lost forever?

I love Cindy Davis's books. I have read several and she is a master storyteller. She is best known for her murder mysteries and romantic suspense, many of which were set in her home state of New Hampshire. Her books have achieved considerable success over the years. Now, a transplant of Florida, she has found herself moving more toward New Age fiction written with her husband Rick.

She is an award-winning freelance editor who's worked in both fiction and nonfiction with over a thousand authors.
