Game of Bones

Magic Market Mysteries, Book 3

By: Erin Johnson

Narrated by: Hannah Somerville

A murder at a costume party. A boat full of suspects. What will she do when a body drops and the masks stay up?

Pet psychic Jolene could use a break from hiding her flawed powers. So, when her cop crush and his lie-detecting dog invite her to a masked Policeman’s Ball on a boat, she dives in head-first. But the problems from her past return when the officer of the year turns up dead.

Working to lay bare the murderer, Jolene discovers that both the man who broke her heart and the woman who cursed her are onboard and engaged to be married. But her troubled history threatens to blow her cover as she combs through a conga line of potential culprits, including the ghost of a deceased sea captain.

Can Jolene expose the cop’s killer when she’s still under a crippling curse?

Game of Bones is the third book in the playful Magic Market paranormal cozy mystery series. If you like charming characters, surprising twists and turns, and enchanting seaside settings, then you’ll love Erin Johnson’s mystical tale.

Another wonderful listen

I'm loving this series. Peter asks Jolene to be his date for the policeman's ball for a night of fun, The night isn't quite the fairytale that she'd hoped for as individuals from her past keep popping up and she has yet to divulge all of her secrets to Peter. Will the lovable police officer be able to accept her for who she really is? Jolene and Daisy's snarky banter is always good for a laugh as well.

A policemen's ball, a death, a casino and more

I love this series. Erin weaves a very compelling story as a fallen from grace lawyer now in a magical slum becomes a police consultant. It has the best parts of murder mysteries mixed with the best parts of a magical world. As a recent law grad, I also love the legal references. This mystery has a good hook and keeps you guessing along the way as interesting people are introduced. The story even gets around the gritty downside of audio mysteries by having its own local sets of curses so that profanity isn't off putting or even horrible. There is no traditional profanity and even my kids love to hear the story about Joleen :)

I love the investigation into the death of a rival officer. Peter puts his best foot forward to deal with the problems caused by an officer's death.

Lies are catching up with Jolene

Did I say I love these books? Shell yes, I did. Jolene and Peter are off to the policeman's ball in this book and it's a date. Thank goodness, it's a masquerade, because Jolene runs into her former fiance, former boss, and the 'beach' her cursed her. The winner of the policeman's award of the year never makes it to the podium to accept because he's being fished out of the sea. Jolene and Peter start to investigate but run into trouble with their relationship (personal and professional) because she is lying about a number of things which, Daisy, the lie-sniffing dog continues to rat her out. Speaking of rats, Ludoff (sp?) the head shifter has finally gotten wind of Jolene working with the police and threatens Peter if she doesn't help him. What will she do? Is it time to come clean with Peter? You'll have to listen to it to find out. I can't wait to read #4.

Another great book

The story was easy, light and very enjoyable, the narrator does a great job and her voices for the characters was really good. I highly recommend this series and look forward to the next book.
