CROSSED BONES

When local blues artist Ivory Keys is murdered in his Zinnia, Mississippi, club, it's up to professional Southern belle and amateur sleuth Sarah Booth Delaney to find the killer and save some priceless musical relics. Continuing the bestselling Bones mystery series, Haines paints vivid pictures of life and death in the Delta. Narrator Kate Forbes inhabits the characters, sings a cappella beautifully, and applies just the right touches of honey and barbecue sauce to the rousing tale. You won't be singing the blues if you listen to CROSSED BONES, guaranteed. R.O. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 05]
