MudCat Moon: A Jake Eliam ChickenBone Mystery by Cliff YearginMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
MudCat Moon: A Jake Eliam ChickenBone Mystery (Jake Eliam ChickenBone Mystery Series Book 3) by Cliff Yeargin fits the bill if you are looking for an enticing mystery, some Southern vibes, and sports as well. This original mix works out quite well in this story, which first must be noted is 3rd in a series of funnily named books, Rabbit Shine and Hoochy Koochy, in that order. Jake, a baseball guy, is the main character who gets wrangled into becoming a bodyguard for a famous newscaster by the name of Cissy, and a beautiful one at that. This is quite a deviation from making baseball bats, his day job. Thoughtfully written, you can tell the author loves sports, much of the fun of the book is the insertion of the classic Southern drawl and euphemisms that characterize the South, while the many characters become entangled in a messy mystery. Strong plot, well drawn characters, this book is highly recommended.
