In PIGEON RIVER BLUES by WAYNE ZURL, Sam Jenkins takes on the security role for C.J. Profitt, a local girl that has achieved stardom with her singing. She’s coming home to perform at Dollywood. Along with her fans, she’s made some serious enemies through her outspoken personality and abrasive way she flaunts her alternative lifestyle. She’s received some pretty frightening threats from a right-wing group calling themselves The Coalition For American Family Values.
I must say that I absolutely love Mr. Zurl’s writing style. He is a master at quick, witty dialog between characters and Sam’s charm comes through like gangbusters. This is the second Sam Jenkins Mystery Novel I’ve read and I’ve developed a little crush on this character. He’s a real charmer. I’ve got two more on my Kindle and I can’t wait to get to them.
If you’re looking for a new mystery series, check out Sam Jenkins. You won’t be disappointed. There are several books out there and going off of the books I’ve read in the series to date, they are all stand alone. PIGEON RIVER BLUES had me on the edge of my seat with thrilling scenes and plot twists, excellent writing style and at times I laughed out loud. Reading doesn’t get much better than this. I highly recommend this book and entire series. Pick one up. You won’t be disappointed.
Winter in the Smokies can be a tranquil time of year--unless Sam Jenkins sticks his thumb into the sweet potato pie.
The retired New York detective turned Tennessee police chief is minding his own business one quiet day in February when Mayor Ronnie Shields asks him to act as a bodyguard for a famous country and western star.
C.J. Profitt's return to her hometown of Prospect receives lots of publicity . . . and threats from a rightwing group calling themselves The Coalition for American Family Values.
The beautiful, publicity seeking Ms. Proffit never fails to capitalize on her abrasive personality by flaunting her alternative lifestyle--a way of living the Coalition hates.
Reluctantly, Jenkins accepts the assignment of keeping C.J. safe while she performs at a charity benefit. But Sam's job becomes more difficult when the object of his protection refuses to cooperate.
During this misadventure, Sam hires a down-on-his-luck ex-New York detective and finds himself thrown back in time, meeting old Army acquaintances who factor into how he foils a complicated plot of attempted murder, the destruction of a Dollywood music hall, and other general insurrection on the "peaceful side of the Smokies."
