A murder at a costume party. A boat full of suspects. What will she do when a body drops and the masks stay up?
Pet psychic Jolene could use a break from hiding her flawed powers. So when her cop crush and his lie-detecting dog invite her to a masked Policeman’s Ball on a boat, she dives in head-first. But the problems from her past return when the officer of the year turns up dead.
Working to lay bare the murderer, Jolene discovers both the man who broke her heart and the woman who cursed her are onboard… and engaged to be married. But her troubled history threatens to blow her cover as she combs through a conga line of potential culprits — including the ghost of a deceased sea captain.
Can Jolene expose the cop’s killer when she’s still under a crippling curse?
Game of Bones is the third book in the playful Magic Market paranormal cozy mystery series. If you like charming characters, surprising twists and turns, and enchanting seaside settings, then you’ll love Erin Johnson’s mystical tale.

Game of Bones by Erin Johnson is a tale of confronting the past and starting a new.

Who had the motive to kill the Officer of the Year?

Jolene

Jolene Hartgrove’s past comes back and smacks her in the face in this adventure. Her secondary goal is to keep her secret from Peter. That is hard to do when a truth sniffing dog is around. She does her best with what she has to do and figures out who and why without Peter. Peter and Jolene get into some fights. Although she is forced into telling him the truth, she still holds out about her being a shifter.

There are so many things that happen to Jolene throughout the entire story, and it makes me feel a bit bad for her. However, at least she is getting better, though.

The Mystery

The mystery finds Jolene and Peter trying to figure out who had the best motive and opportunity to kill Officer Davies, the Officer of the Year. The tricky thing is that the police aren’t investigating it as the crime as it is ruled accidental. Everything that they are finding is off-the-books, and who knows if anyone will believe them.

Five Stars

Game of Bones by Erin Johnson is another great mystery that I had a bit of a tough time figuring out until two clues happened. Ms. Johnson did a terrific job writing this one. I love Jolene, Peter, and Daisy. I am giving this book five stars and recommending it to all paranormal cozy mystery readers.
