Cindy Davis is back with more adventures of Bliss in that bucolic Texas Hill Country town, Magnolia Bluff.
Today is launch day for
Book 12 in the multi-author Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series.
Bliss
Quite frankly, Bliss is one of my favorite characters in the world of Magnolia Bluff, Texas.
She’s a snarky and fun-loving person who will die for pizza and swoons over peanut butter. But most of all, she especially loves being free and independent. A rolling stone with no responsibilities.
Only the Good Die Young
In Only the Good Die Young, Bliss is once again back in Magnolia Bluff. Only this time she’s in town willingly — houseboat-sitting for her friend, Olivia, and helping the Doyle family celebrate Easter.
And what a celebration it is: piles of good food, and great music from the popular local band Loco-Motion.
Everything is going along just great until the lead singer picks up her favorite guitar, touches the strings, and turns into a living — and soon dead — fireworks display.
Now that Nina Warren is dead, and the logical suspect pool is Bliss’s favorite family, the Doyles, she wants to be involved in the investigation.
Of course Chief of Police Tommy Jager doesn’t want Bliss’s help.
And of course, Bliss and her friends ignore Tommy and begin poking around in the life of the late singer.
I don’t want to give away the storyline. That would spoil the mystery.
Cindy Davis’s Best
Instead, let me say that with Bliss and her adventures, Cindy Davis has hit the ball out of the park.
These are fabulously entertaining cozy mysteries. Just plain old good clean fun. With a healthy dollop of the paranormal thrown in that really spices things up.
Ms. Davis has a knack for making the paranormal seem so very normal. And she does so with a deft hand. The Bliss books are clearly Cindy Davis at her best.
You will definitely want to get in on the action, the laughs, the fun, the pizza, and especially the noggin-scratchin’ puzzler of a mystery.
Who wanted Nina Warren dead, and why? Count on Bliss to find out and end up dying for her efforts. Well, almost. Maybe.
I love the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series. Eleven writers producing some of the best mysteries and thrillers for your entertainment.
And I especially love Bliss. I think you will too.
