***** Deadly Services Review by Rox Burkey
CW Hawes brings another brilliant book to the growing mysteries of Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles, Ten Million Ways to Die, Book 18. Two favorite characters, Harry Thurgood and Reverend Ember Cole, kick it off with flirtatious, witty banter between sips of Harry’s renowned coffee. These two have an evolving relationship of love and admiration. Will the nosey town gossips attempt to block their happiness, or are they simply jealous of their prior success in making a dynamite investigative team?
When a traveling evangelist and his large family descend upon the town, the atmosphere is charged with mystery and intrigue. Despite their divine voices, The Reston Family Singers lead a life far from Christian. Behind their smiles, dark secrets lurk. For them, death might prove a salvation. Harry and Ember find themselves thrust into a homicide investigation, with Harry himself becoming a prime suspect. As the plot thickens, Mr. Hawes skillfully weaves a tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, eagerly joining the search to unravel this action-packed mystery.
For mystery crime fans, Ten Million Ways to Die offers a thrilling adventure with a complex plot that twists and turns. The escalating state of affairs with Scarlet Hayden and the spiteful Mary Lou Fight adds a layer of tension, while Harry and Ember’s romance provides a welcome respite. Fergus, the town drunk, is a memorable character who shouldn’t be overlooked.
Whether new to the series or a long-time fan, the masterful character development, particularly by CW Hawes, will undoubtedly captivate and warrant a read of the highly recommended series.
