Book Description:
The entire Doyle clan is celebrating Easter at Old Man Thompson’s barn. Though Bliss isn’t blood-related, they insist she be a part, which kind-a makes sense since months ago she uncovered the murderer of patriarch Merrick Doyle, who now resides, in spirit, in the general store.
The barn walls vibrate with the beat from the popular band Loco-Motion. Suddenly, the lead singer lights up like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Nina Warren has been electrocuted, and things look bad for the family. After all, except for Bliss, Diablo the toucan, and the band members, the only attendees are blood-related. This puts a giant snarl in the investigation.
Cindy Davis hails originally from the Northeast, but now calls Florida her permanent home. She is an avid reader, gardener, editor, author, psychic, and an awesome wife.

Only the Good Die Young has an electrifying beginning (pun intended,) and sails home from there. More pizza, toucan, music and ghostly activity. This is another winner by Cindy Davis. Every writer in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles has a unique voice, and hers is one of the most interesting and fun. Highly recommended!

Bliss is a fine heroine. Wouldn’t want to be her though except for the lifetime pizza deal. 🍕

I LOVE that bookstagram you created for the book! The 3 books in the series by this author really sound fun — and unique with the paranormal (and toucan!) elements. Thanks for sharing!

I just love Bliss. She is such a fabulous character. Quirky and yet at the same time lovably realistic. This book was such a satisfying read. Just loved it.
