Rhythm & Clues is coming to a bookshelf near you
I don’t know about y’all but I’ve been waiting for Rhythm and Clues to be released forever. I don’t play favorites, but if I did, I’d happily admit that R&C is my absolute favorite in the Record Shop Mysteries. It was a lightning blast to write and I hope y’all enjoy it as much as I do!
The rhythm is gonna get you in the third book in the Record Shop Mysteries, Rhythm and Clues. It’s been months since Juni Jessup and her sisters solved the last murder in Cedar River when disaster strikes again. After a sketchy financier dies outside Sip & Spin Records during a torrential Texas thunderstorm and the overflowing river spits out a macabre surprise, can they catch the killer without missing a beat?
Rhythm and Clues is coming to your favorite bookstores and retailers on Mar 26 in mass market paperback, e-book, and audiobook. And look for Rhythm and Clues in July in *Large Print*! (more details coming soon)
Helpful hint: Every bookstore is unique. Some keep their hardback, trade, and mass market paperbacks together, and some keep them each in their own section. Some mix mystery and thriller, others have dedicated cozy mystery sections. If you can’t find the book you’re looking for (Rhythm and Clues, obviously) don’t be shy!
