I enjoyed this book. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is a suspenseful story that has a lot of action for all of the characters. This is an engaging story that I found to be fast paced. I read this book in one sitting as I wanted to see who the killer was at the end. The characters are connectable and made the story easy to read. PI Farlow is back in this story but not only does he find himself in another case but his own personal conflicts strike back at him as well. Hank is a country singer that finds himself in some trouble which is where Farlow comes in. When Hank’s song attracts the wrong group will things become deadly? This is a great story that I highly recommend. It made a great afternoon read and you will want to see what happens to Hank and Farlow for sure.
Blue Magnolia (Red Farlow Mysteries No. 2) By W.F. Ranew 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Blue Magnolia (Red Farlow Mysteries No. 2) by W.F. Ranew. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It includes mystery, danger, and a PI that is determined to help his latest client out. I enjoyed the character of PI Red Farlow. He is a man that has found himself with a client that is being threatened. There is a group of extremists and soon Red begins to see just how dangerous the situation can become. Will he be able to keep his client from harm? I also enjoyed the character of Hank Tillman. Hank is Red’s client and a man who is determined to make it big in country music. Now his love of writing and singing music has put him in danger. Hank is a character that I couldn’t help but root for him to succeed in his career. Read this book to find out what happens. This is a story that had me reading far into the night to finish it. I just had to know how it works out. The author does an amazing job of weaving a tale that is well detailed and in making the characters come alive on the page. I felt like I was right with them. There is an atmosphere of mystery that had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. Don’t miss out on a story that is intriguing and entertaining. I would highly recommend reading it.
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.
