Bluebonnet Ballerina
by Carol Kilgore
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Mystery and Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Gracie
Hofner returns, and chaos reigns—including a couple of ghosts trying to save
their granddaughter. But as Gracie dances from problem to problem, she’s
unaware the music has been orchestrated into a murderous symphony.
When
a different melody reaches Gracie’s ears from a guitar played by the new tenant
living in her garage apartment, her tension vanishes. She listens unseen,
cocooned in the shadows on her patio, and wonders who he’s longing for—and how
it would feel for someone to crave her that much.
She
can’t dwell on those thoughts, however. Problems of murder and missing
prisoners abound. To say nothing of the ghosts. No one ever said being a law
enforcement consultant would be easy.
Bluebonnet Ballerina follows Jalapeno Cupcake Wench and is the second
book in The Amazing Gracie Trilogy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
“Ow!
Ow! Ow!” Gracie Hofner twitched with each exclamation.
“For
crying out loud, Gracie, you’d think I was trying to kill you.”
“You
are. This is supposed to feel good.” Gracie tried to lift herself up.
Ariana
held her down with one arm and tortured her with the other. “You’ve got a knot
bigger than Thor’s fist in here. I’m working it loose.”
“It’ll
work itself out.”
“No
it won’t. It’ll give you a headache and neck spasms and a hitch in your side.
Now lie still and shut up.” A hundred and ten skinny pounds of pure muscle and
bone returned to attacking Gracie’s back.
Ariana
Ayala was Gracie’s best friend, but when Ariana went into massage mode, arguing
was futile. This was her first massage in her friend’s new studio, but nothing
about her technique had changed. Gracie sighed and tried to relax. The more she
loosened up, the harder Ariana dug. The woman had forty fingers and ten elbows,
all of them poking Gracie’s sore back.
“Much
better now.” Ariana continued to knead the same spot, except with much less
pressure. That’s what it felt like, but Ariana always said the pressure was the
same. The difference was the muscle had relaxed. “Next time, I’ll work on it
again. It won’t be as bad. You must’ve had one hell of a week.”
“Something
like that.”
“You
can tell me later. Relax now. You’ll enjoy the rest of this.”
