Joe Congel Fiction Stories: The Ransom Enigma by Breakfield and Burkey

One of the most scorching months of the year is August, making it the perfect time to release the scorching hot new Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles book from the award-winning author team, Breakfield and Burkey. The Ransom Enigma is the twenty-seventh book in this fun to read crime fiction series and is available Tuesday August 20, 2024.

For those of you familiar with the writing duo's Enigma Series, you already know you're in for a high-tech ride. The Ransom Enigma is their third entry into the little town, dubbed by one fan of the series as "The Murder Capital of the World", Magnolia Bluff, Texas.

This time around, JJ and Jo are celebrating the completion of their summer home by inviting all their friends and residents that they've met since first visiting the Texas Hill Country a few years ago. They chose Magnolia Bluff as the place to build their vacation paradise because it offers beautiful weather, gorgeous views, an inviting lake, and plenty of room to stretch out, relax, and go horseback riding. It also provides the privacy needed for an in-demand technology guru and his supermodel wife to fall off the grid whenever their work lives become too stressful.

But murder and mayhem seem to follow the couple whenever they're in town, and this time is no exception.

Right now you can grab an ebook copy of The Ransom Enigma for a mere 99¢ by clicking here: Ransom

Here's the blurb from the book:

Jo and JJ Rodreguiz finished their vacation dream home in Magnolia Bluff. To celebrate their accomplishment, they invite the town residents to their homewarming.

Emails are sent. Lily Offers to provide all the side dishes to compliment the barbeque. Chief Tommy Jager bartends until the last guest leaves. The teenagers act as servers. Guests dance outside until the wee hours. Toasts are made to honor JJ and Jo's dearest friends. Max the Labrador will clean up the crumbles.

After the last guest departs, JJ finds a housewarming gift addressed to Jo. She excitedly opens it and gasps with dismay. Someone left behind not a present but a blackmail letter. Jo crumbles into tears, fearing they must sell and never return. Her outraged husband swears to kill the wretched blackmailer. Unfortunately, the Chief of Police cannot unhear the threat.

Two days later, the police find JJ unconscious next to a dead man.
Who will help navigate this investigation?
Who knows the blackmailer?

All the world's problems rest on her shoulders as her greatest love lies in a coma.

______________________________

I am looking forward to reading about JJ and Jo's latest turmoil in Magnolia Bluff. The little town with a proclivity for murder. Just like all the books in the series, you can read this as a standalone. However, just like any series, reading the books in sequence enables you to uncover all the hints in each story, which helps you grasp the individuality of the town's characters and how they interact throughout the series.
