The latest in the Sarah Booth Delaney mystery series finds the Delaney Detective Agency on the set of a movie drama about the 1927 flood that affected the town in Greenville, MS. The movie’s director, Marlon Brandon is the heir to a powerful and wealthy political family and he wants the world to know the story of the flood and the heroic role his ancestors played in rescuing locals.
Then Marlon disappears, but he’s just the first. Then a severed foot is found in the Mississippi River where a rogue bull shark has suddenly appeared. Was Marlon the victim of a shark attack? Or a human predator?
Sarah Booth and associates investigate both the human and fish predator aspects as they search for Marlon, hoping to find him alive.
The author has created a solid cozy mystery with a cast of characters with enough quirks to make them interesting. While it’s part of a series, Light, Camera, Bones is easily read as a standalone novel.
