Death By Trauma
(Josiah Reynolds Mystery #21)
by Abigail Keam
In the Bluegrass world of oak-cured bourbon, antebellum mansions, and Thoroughbred horse farms are secrets—deadly secrets! Josiah Reynolds knows that and with good reason. She’s solved many a murder, but Josiah prays that she does not stumble across another body. The stress is too much.
She is happy to be invited to a winter sledding party at Haze Corbyn’s home. Corbyn is a former syndicated movie critic for newspapers and magazines, who retired to the Bluegrass, dabbling in his love of horses.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
“The invitation said formal attire, Franklin. That means getting dressed up.” “I am dressed up.” “Yeah, but not like Elton John.”
I did the Vulcan salute. “As a bonafide Trekkie, I swear.”
I had outdone myself in crossing the line! A girl scout I was not.
I feel it is a dog-eat-dog world, and I’m wearing milkbone underwear.
My Review:
Ms. Keam has provided us with another unsolvable mystery that could only be solved by the clever yet somewhat cranky Josiah. I do enjoy her amusing conundrums. The storylines are easy to follow and engaging with characters who are realistically flawed while simultaneously and authentically compelling. And I always come away with some interesting tidbits about beekeeping and bluegrass country along the way.
