Riassunto

Running for her life when someone starts shooting during the first bird-watching Olympics of New Kassell, Missouri, genealogist Torie O'Shea stumbles upon a badly beaten corpse that may have ties to her own family history and may be linked to musicologist Glen Morgan's claims that her grandfather had written some of the Morgan Family Players' most popular songs. 15,000 first printing.

L'autore:

RETT MACPHERSON is the author of ten previous Torie O’Shea novels. She lives with her husband and three children in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Genealogist and mother of three Torie O’Shea is out birding on the cliffs of the Mississippi River as part of New Kassell, Missouri’s first ever bird-watching Olympics, when someone starts shooting at her and her partner. Disoriented and running for their lives, they stumble over an antique trunk and discover a badly beaten dead body stuffed inside.

Soon after this disturbing event, musicologist Glen Morgan shows up at the Kendall House, Torie’s new textile museum, claiming to be Torie’s cousin and to have proof that Torie’s grandfather secretly may have written a number of popular songs for the Morgan Family Players, who were famous country music singers. Being a genealogist and the head of the local historical society, Torie doesn’t appreciate anyone shaking up a family tree that she has spent years putting together, but Glen’s old recordings are more than she can resist. After a little digging in the library and some serious snooping into the shooting, Torie starts to uncover secrets about her family and the town that even she didn’t know.

Rett MacPherson’s intricate plots and delightful small-town characters with long family histories hit all of the right notes in The Blood Ballad, the newest installment in her terrific Torie O’Shea series.
