***** Massive Turmoil —– Review by Rox Burkey
CW Hawes masterfully deepens the characters in his latest installment of the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles, book 21, Who Mourns Elektra? The narrative is enriched by the growth of our protagonists, Harry Thurgood and Reverend Ember Cole, who have evolved positively in the small town. In contrast, characters like Mary Lou Fight spiral downwards with bitterness-filled hearts. As the death toll rises, Detective Reece Sovern is determined to solve the murders, suspecting Harry and Ember. Can the duo prove their innocence?
The suspense in Who Mourns Elektra? is a rollercoaster ride, escalating with each murder and keeping readers on the edge of their seats. The possible motives seem like a tangled web, making the investigation more intriguing. How many more lives must be taken before the truth is revealed? The intricate mystery unfolds with every dialogue, revealing a new facet of each character’s soul. Mary Lou Fight’s relentless pursuit to remove Reverend Cole from preaching in her church adds another layer of tension to the plot, making it a must-read for all murder mystery enthusiasts.
Who Mourns Elektra? is a murder mystery that will keep you engaged from the beginning to the end. The story is so well written that readers constantly flip pages to solve the mystery. If you are a fan of murder mysteries, then you will love CW Hawes’s masterful storytelling abilities. Although the book can be read as a standalone, it is highly recommended that you read all the stories in the series to understand Magnolia Bluff better.
