    About this audiobook

    Sarah Booth Delaney is heartbroken: her fiancE Graf Milieu has decided to move to Hollywood permanently, leaving their relationship in shambles. Sarah Booth has a perfect distraction, however, in the form of the Black and Orange Halloween ball her best friends are throwing in New Orleans. Sarah Booth plans to dance the night away to the swinging tunes of her old flame Scott Hampton's blues band. But just as the party gets going, Scott receives a mysterious message that threatens his life and the lives of his bandmates. Sarah Booth knows that a new case is just what she needs to take her mind off her failed relationship with Graf, and she's ready to help Scott investigate. And then the message turns from threat to reality when the bartender from Scott's club is gunned down in a drive-by. Enlisting Sheriff Coleman Peters and the rest of her friends from Zinnia, Mississippi, Sarah Booth is caught in a race against the clock as she tries to stop a killer from striking again. With a twist around every corner, Sarah Booth's zany adventures will delight readers in Carolyn Haines's latest Southern cozy, Bone to Be Wild.

      I love this series and the ending of the last book Booty Bones tied up and ended a story line that always disappointed me, so I opened this one with hopeful expectations. Putting aside the investigative adventures and resident ghost, Sarah Booth is probably the most realistically written main character of a cozy I've ever read. Her life isn't one long string of 'everything's-going-my-way' but neither is it one long string of sorrows. She's as human as a character can be and there is definitely a philosophical bent to Ms. Haines' writing. That's not to say SB doesn't pull the occasional TSTL decision out of thin air, but when she does, it's somehow easier to tolerate. While at its core this book is mostly about SB dealing with the aftermath of Booty Bones, the mystery itself concerns threats on the lives of Scott Hampton's blues band and the viability of his new club, Playing the Bones. When these threats are borne out and the bartender is killed, SB and Tinkie's investigation leads them to a variety of suspects including extremist religious cults, big business, romantic rivalries and old enemies looking for revenge. It's a great story even in its implausibility. Although I saw the plot twist before it happened, the true culprit came mostly as a surprise. (I did wonder about this character early on, but the author excelled at distracting me with red herrings.) The book ends with the plot of the next one introduced, but without a cliff-hanger (thank you Ms. Haines!). There's a short story due out at Christmas time and I can't wait - I'm hoping it's less about mystery and more about a promise a certain man made to Sarah Booth in the course of this book.
