Hallowed Bones (Sarah Booth Delaney)

This mystery is great. The mix of family, tradition, friends, events and twist are great. Cant stop reading this book.

My books were in perfect shape and came extremely fast I look forward to doing business with you again!!!!!!!!

Carolyn Haines once again takes her readers on yet another ride through the wonderful Mississippi Delta and shows us there is more to being a dectective than solving a "who done it." Sarah Booth's colorful entourage of friends, CeCe and Tinkie assist Sarah as she searches the French Quarter of New Orleans for the murderer of a spiritual healer's handicapped child. In addition to solvng other people's problems Sarah has to deal with her own stress and desire in the form of Sheriff Coleman Peters (her unrequited love interest) and Hamilton Garrett (the man who just won't stay in Zinnia). A great story with lots of twists and turns. I can't wait for the next mystery in Sarah Booth Delaney's life. Will she go with Hamilton Garrett or will she stay in Zinnia? Will Coleman finally come to his senses? Whatever the outcome, it's always a comfort to know that Sarah Booth will route out the badguy and save the day!

Tough, modern Southern woman, Sarah Booth Delaney doesn't let her hearbreak over Sheriff Coleman Peters slow her down as she sets out to find the murderer of a faith healer's handicapped child. Setting aside her own problems, Sarah Booth and her assistant, Tinkie (and friends) travel to the Big Easy to unravel the murder mystery. Set in the cool autumn months of late October, its a refreshing, easy read for a hot summer day!

In the latest installment of this series, Sarah Booth and Tinkie are hired by a nun to prove that a faith healer didn't murder her handicapped illegitimate daughter. Not as simple as it looks. The healer Doreen, is the daughter of a deceased religous fanatic, who lived in Zinnia until her death in a fire 12 years before. There are many intertwining plot lines, much like Sarah Booth's love life. Coleman is still sort of in the picture, with his manipulative wife pulling his strings and Hamilton returns with the intention of taking Sarah Booth back to Paris with him. Aunt Jitty doesn't play as big a part in this one as the others, but CeCe and Tinkie really make up the difference. I hope the next one comes out quickly.

I love the Mississippi Delta Mysteries! They just keep getting better and better. HALLOWED BONES is my new favorite. Yes, Sarah Booth Delaney is back, doing what a Daddy's Girl should do,and, of course, what she should not do. Here she is investigating a New Age healer/guru Doreen Mallory who is accused of killing her baby girl. If Mallory didn't kill her baby, who did? Three major characters are in Delaney's line of sight: a televangelist, a senator, and Mallory's financial advisor. Her investigation not only leads her into the secrets of the past, but also she finds out some things about her partner and friend Tinkie. In order to investigate, Delaney must travel back and forth from her hometown Zinnia to New Orleans where the healer is operating. Not only is she caught between two cities, her heart is split again between two men, unhappily married Sheriff Coleman Peters and fantasy man Hamilton Garrett V. Sarah's friends, CeCe and Tinkie try to help her make a decision, but it's ultimately up to Sarah. Jitty, the sassy plantation ghost, is back to giving Sarah grief and advice. The characters of these mysteries novels are so fun and feisty; they keep me coming back for more and more. Read and enjoy.
