I enjoyed this book. It’s convoluted and interesting. The characters are great and everyone is there. I was surprised by the end. #BonesOfHolly #NetGalley

Bones of Holly, the twenty fifth book in the Sarah Booth Delaney Mysteries series by Carolyn Haines, finds the Delaney Detective Agency investigating a missing persons case while on their much anticipated Christmas trip…they were fervently looking forward to spending a Christmas season without having to divide their time enjoying holiday festivities with an agency case as in season’s past.

Inadvertently a case that dates back to Al Capone and missing treasure ensnares the Zinnia, MS group: Sarah Booth, Tinkie, Coleman, Oscar, Harold, Millie, and Cece when they travel to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for their holiday jaunt. While there they become entangled in a missing persons case and a decades old mystery. In Ms Haines’ distinctive style, dialog is laced with humor and wickedly smart banter, romance abounds, this time it embraces Harold…but still Sarah Booth and Coleman are the couple who will always touch my heart; the journey they took to get to the place in their relationship was a long arduous one…and of course their jokingly repartee is thoroughly enjoyable.

Once again as soon as I’ve completed one Sarah Booth mystery, I’m fixated on waiting for the next one!
