2022 closes with the publication of the 9th book in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series: Born and Bred Texan by Jinx Schwartz.
Ms Schwartz poses the question: can we ever truly return home? And she answers the question by giving us the delightful story of Blue Bonet.
Blue returns home to Magnolia Bluff, after an absence of many years, to take possession of the home and land left to her by her grandmother.
A widow, who’s not sure what she wants to do with her life now that she’s single and back home, Blue sets out to first modernize the old house and rejuvenate the surrounding land.
One day, while out exploring the back forty, she discovers a body in an old shack. Then it’s determined the man was murdered. And after that, bones begin popping out of the ground due to a freeze.
All of the above is going on while Blue is attempting to make a new life for herself in Magnolia Bluff, and getting re-acquainted with old friends.
Ms Schwartz’s style is as easygoing as small town life and is laced with plenty of humor and a bit of suspense.
If you’re a fan of happy endings, then Born and Bred Texan is definitely for you.
The book is available from Amazon. As is the entire Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series.
