About the Book
From the author of the truly unique mystery novel Caught Holding the Bag comes another unusual sort of mystery. Dobro Dreamer is not a whodunit. You might instead call it a Who-was-it-done-to? The Dakin Family Bluegrass Festival starts out like any normal bluegrass festival. The stage show breathes fire at the center of it all, with hard-driving fiddle tunes, love songs and gospel music reflecting the moods and taste of the hundreds of fans gathered at the fairground for the weekend festival. Field picking takes up the beat in the surrounding fields, campsites and motor homes. Then a shadow passes through the festival. Her name is Joy. ("Joy is my name and Joy is my game.") But she brings anything but joy to the Dakin Family Bluegrass festival in general, and to three men in particular. Middle-aged Ellis has hit rock bottom on this, his latest bender. He finds a soft place to land at the festival when he meets Lucee, an evangelist who likes to save souls and repair broken men. But he also meets Joy. Cory Dakin is a young musician who meets up with Maybelle McCue. A quarrel between their two bluegrass families has kept them apart in the past, but now they are determined to stay together despite their families. Unfortunately for them, Joy is just as determined to claim Cory for herself. Both romances are threatened by Joy. Even Dan Durgin, a reporter who visits Joy in prison after covering her trial, is drawn by her seductive and dangerous personality. Is she the killer or did her mysterious boyfriend set her up? Who will feel the killer's rage and the violence from a knife named Tickler? And will the Dakin Family Bluegrass festival survive to open another year? Humor, romance and drama blend together in this novel of second chances.
