Lots of stuff happens in Magnolia Bluff, Texas. Not nice stuff. Like murder. Attempted murder. Multiple murders.
I’ve heard the locals, the long-time folk, saying, “Things used to pretty quiet around here until the new people started moving in.”
And maybe they’re right. I wouldn’t know. I’m a newbie myself. Moved to Magnolia Bluff 8 months ago.
The locals, though, are right: murder and mayhem do seem to occur about as regular as a full moon.
And here we are in November. Yep, there’s a full moon, and doggone it but State Conservation Officer Madison Jackson has just stumbled onto another body. This one though is especially nasty.
A young girl raped and murdered.
The blue band on her wrist and her underwear in the tree tell Madison that this isn’t your everyday, garden variety killing. It’s cartel related. And that ain’t good. Not in Magnolia Bluff.
But what can a conservation officer do about the killing? And that’s exactly what Madison asks herself. What can she do to bring about justice for the dead little girl?
Kelly Marshall is no stranger to the crime fiction scene. She’s the author of the 4 book Winston and Strom mystery series, and she brings that experience to the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series.
Justice is the 8th installment in this varied and exciting new series.
The book officially releases on November 16th, but you can pick up a copy today — on Amazon.
I read an advanced copy, and I can tell you Justice is full of suspense. And the ending? Well, I never saw that one coming.
Get yourself a copy of Justice today. You won’t regret it.
