Bones on the Bayou

A Sarah Booth Delaney Short Mystery, Book 14.5

De: Carolyn Haines

Narrado por: Kate Forbes

Christmas is six days away - and Sarah Booth Delaney has her hands full! To honor a group of international investors, Shaw, Mississippi, resurrects the old custom of drifting miniature, lighted Christmas floats down Silver Bayou. The Italian delegation from Venice may bring much-needed new jobs and commercial opportunities to this small, struggling Delta town. Among the investors is notorious womanizer, Enzo Aceto. Handsome, witty, and eager for new conquests, Enzo meets his match in Tinkie Bellcase Richmond. She, too, is an accomplished flirt, and a partner in Delaney Detective Agency. Enzo disappears. Rumors of murder are buzzing. Suspicion falls on Tinkie's husband, Oscar, whose jealousy created a scene at a social event. A body spotted bobbing behind the last Christmas float makes the joyous holiday celebration take on a much darker tone. Tinkie and Oscar flee Sunflower County. Sarah Booth must determine what happened to Enzo, or her partner's and Oscar's holiday will end in multiple felony charges. From paid shoppers to canine and feline assistant sleuths, Bones on the Bayou brings the Zinnia gang together to solve the mystery - and save Christmas.

Christmas Short Story

A quick and entertaining read! Thought this was misnumbered and should have come after book #15 (since Bone to be Wild takes place around Halloween).

great book as always

We love reading about the adventures of Sarah Booth and Tinkle. Great cast of Characters. would love to see this as movies or TV shows.

Captures your attention and imagination!

The narration of this book is convincingly natural Southern... something I am a bit picky about as a native Mississippian. I thought the story was fun - it is the first Carolyn Haines book I have read and it has enticed me to entertain thoughts of reading more by this author. Fun read for Christmastime. I read and listened to this book.
