***** Find the Guilty. NOW! —- Review by Rox Burkey
CW Hawes completes book 32 of the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles, ‘Death by Moonlight,’ using descriptive prose to pull fans into the mystery. The various threads make this an exciting, action-packed journey to unwrap the hidden secrets between the pages. Magnolia Bluff police feel stumped with the mounting number of murders during the past six months.
CW Hawes shows each player’s new sides using his established set of beloved characters. Harry Thurgood, entrepreneur of the Really Good Woodfired Coffee Shop, is generous to Magnolia Bluff citizens even though profits appear sparse. Ember Cole, his common-law wife, is a minister at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church. Even her shady past doesn’t explain why anyone would want to murder her. Terror strikes residents during full moons because of the brutal removal of victims’ livers and the absence of blood. The newly hired Captain Davis Briggs joins the police department with his old-school law enforcement experience.
Harry Thurgood becomes convinced that Ember is a target of murder. He joins Magnolia Bluff residents who are frantic because someone is murdering area inhabitants by the light of the full moon. The gruesome murders get noticed with blood drained from the victims and the livers carved from their corpses. The bumbling Magnolia Bluff Police Department seems clueless. ‘Death by Moonlight’ will satisfy fans with clever plot twists in this superbly written cozy mystery.
CW Hawes’s fourth book in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles brings to life engaging characters and terrifying murders within a small-town framework. ‘Death by Moonlight’ is perfect for fans of amateur detectives determined to discover the elusive culprit following the many clues that appear unconnected. Readers will be surprised and satisfied when they turn the last page. Don’t delay; grab ‘Death by Moonlight’ today and consider the other Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles novels. You won’t be disappointed.
