Description
PI Red Farlow dives headfirst into a hornets' nest of extremists. His new client, Hank Tillman, only wants to get a shot at country music stardom. While playing in a Georgia bar, Hank—known as Cowboy to his fans—stumbles into trouble. The kind that kills. PI Red Farlow steps in to help him.
Hank’s song, Redneck Devil, attracts the attention of a violent group called the Blue Magnolia. Its leaders want him to perform at their next hate rally. There's another, darker reason the Blue Magnolia wants Hank in its fold.
An elderly patient in a Florida insane asylum reveals a decades-long secret that devastates Hank. It’s the worst kind of fake news.
Can Farlow root out the truth? The PI has his own problems as he confronts a hired killer face-to-face.

Blue Magnolia by W.F. Ranew
Red Farlow Mysteries #2
Private Eye hired to protect a country singer
Country singer with high hopes and little luck so far
Crazy wicked people willing to do anything to buy a song
What I liked:
* The setting, plot, story and writing
* Feeling I was truly in the South
* That all my senses were involved – I felt I was there
* Red: a good man who knows his stuff, cares about people, and does all he can to get the job done
* Realizing how important having contacts must be in more than one line of work
* Being reminded of how murky some family histories are and how some might want to lose some of the ancestral branches on the family tree
* The way the story unfolded in increments then were woven together seamlessly
* Being reminded that people are human – some are good, some bad and some a bit of both
* Hank: a sweet, kind, gentle and loving man that touched the hearts of his audience
* Wondering if any of the song lyrics in the story would be made into songs I might hear on the radio
* All of it except…
What I didn’t like:
* The truly wicked bad guys in the story
* Being reminded that innocent people suffer for no good reason at all
