The Devil Came From Texas
(2023)(The fifth book in the Joy Wagner Mysteries series)
A novel by Cindy Davis
Can a yellow throat toucan, and lyrics from Cat Stevens’ songs, help Joy solve the murder of the vice-principal in the middle of her marriage proposal?
Joy is finally settling down. She’s bought a house but it needs work. No problem, as she has amazing friends to help out, but a kink in the plans arises when she enlists Trinity��s help ‘relocating’ Merrick’s ghost to the new address.
Meanwhile, Joy, Anna, and Whitney are immersed in making a snowy Christmas wonderland in the high school gym, even though they live in sunny Florida. Things go well until a man in a ten-gallon hat, here from Banderas, Texas, the cowboy capital of the world, enlists their help in proposing to his high-school sweetheart, who’s now the vice-principal. Nobody could’ve known she would be dead before he finished speaking the words.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
