Josiah is volunteering at an archeological dig at Fort Boonesborough with her attorney Shaneika and Shaneika&#8217;s cousin Heather, but finds herself becoming embroiled in a murder investigation after a suspicious drowning turns out to be a murder. The characters are etched with precision, but the spotlight shines brightest on the spunky pair of Josiah and Shaneika, who remain as interesting as ever. The tension stays ripe throughout, with the plot taking increasingly sharp turns, and Keam\u2019s intelligent writing studded with Josiah\u2019s sly wit keeps the pages flying. The vivid descriptions of Kentucky\u2019s grim history will transport the reader to another time and place while sharp characterizations, deft dialogue, and intriguing storyline make it a page-turner. An escapist\u2019s adventure and a quality mystery at once, this is a knockout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Death by Shock<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">(Josiah Reynolds Mysteries #15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Abigail Keam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08S3LTYV3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date April 12, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN 979-8718347241<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $15.00 (USD) Paperback, $5.04 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An uproariously witty, tense, and cunningly constructed tale\u2026 Keam\u2019 latest, featuring beekeeper and amateur sleuth Josiah Reynolds is a riotous adventure, with all the delicious trappings of a finely constructed mystery\u2014treachery, deception, greed, sinister conspiracies, and murder.
