A Killing Notion
by Melissa Bourbon
I loved how within all he cozy elements of the story, the author managed to hide a real thriller of a mystery.
~Rantin’ Ravin’ and Reading
As soon as I finish a Melissa Bourbon story I always want more. These are characters I truly hate to leave behind as I wait for my next trip to Bliss.
~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book
This clever mystery had me guessing until the very end and I have to say this series keeps getting better and better.
~Books-n-Kisses

…a great read! You get pulled in right from the start and she keeps you there till the end.
~Shelley’s Book Case
In Texas they have a saying, “Go big or go home.” Melissa Bourbon (Ramirez) does that in “A Killing Notion”.
~Back Porchervations
Melissa takes all the elements of a good cozy and sprinkles fairy dust on them to make her series different.

The story was well written and there were enough diversions to keep me from guessing whodoneit.
~Storeybook Reviews
I love to read cozy mysteries and have found another great one. I really liked reading A Killing Notion by Melissa Bourbon.
~Kaisy Daisy’s Corner
The characters were fun and full of Texas love! I really enjoyed Harlow and her care for others including her quacky deceased grandmother who pops up on occasion, as a ghost of course, trying to wreck havoc!
~A Year of Jubilee Reviews
Ms. Bourbon’s mystery plot takes several interesting twists and turns.
~Queen of All She Reads
(Reading A Killing Notion) What you find out will really give a whole new angle for cozy mysteries I have never read one like this with such a twist that you wonder how these secrets stayed quiet for so long.
~Community Bookstop
Readers will be enchanted by A KILLING NOTION.
~Traci Andrighetti’s Blog

Synopsis:
Harlow Jane Cassidy is swamped with homecoming couture requests. If only she didn’t have to help solve a murder, she might get the gowns off the dress forms….
Harlow is doing everything she can to expand her dressmaking business, Buttons & Bows—without letting clients know about her secret charm. When she has a chance to create homecoming dresses with a local charity and handmade mums for several high school girls—including Gracie, whose father, Will, has mended Harlow’s heart—she is ready to use her magical talents for a great cause.
But when Gracie’s date for the dance is accused of murder, Harlow knows things won’t be back on course until she helps Gracie clear the football player’s name. If Harlow can’t patch up this mess before the big game, her business and her love life might be permanently benched.
