Sassy Southern private investigator Sarah Booth Delaney and her best friend Tinkie are back detecting in Ode to the Bones.
A farmer is missing. Could Tinkie’s husband initiating foreclosure proceedings on his family farm be the reason? Could his rumored affair with a local preacher’s wife be behind his disappearance? Or did he discover something incriminating about the companies trying to push toxic chemicals on local farmers to boost their productivity? Sarah Booth, Tinkie, and Sarah Booth’s house ghost are all searching for answers in the new “paranormal is normal” cozy mystery in this long running series.
It is always a joy to visit with the girls in the humid Mississippi heat. Ode to the Bones has a mystery that will keep you guessing until the end with plenty of red herrings and blind alleys. This is also an ode to the real life plight of American farmers fighting climate change and corporate farming interests.
Overall, Ode to the Bones is an entertaining and informative cozy mystery not to be missed. 5 stars!
