Out Now – Payola: Gary L Kreigh
December 17, 2021 by Rose Newland Leave a Comment
Payola is a delightful mystery full of colourful characters – including an adorable dog. As well as having me scratching my head wondering who the murderer could be, I found the story heart-warming and intriguing, a perfect book for AIA Publishing and a great addition to Gary L. Kreigh's Reverend Fountain Mystery Series. The setting, New Orleans French Quarter in 1950, and the colourful characters add to its charm.
A tropical storm isn't the only thing brewing in the New Orleans' French Quarter in 1956.
When someone threatens Reverend Fountain's singer friend Genny Duval, asking her to pay money for a song she recently recorded, and the woman who brokered the deal can't be found, Fountain can't help but investigate. Is it a Payola scheme gone awry? A song on the radio, a note handed to Miss Genny on stage, a DeSoto FireFlite in a garage, and the murder of a DJ in Biloxi, Mississippi puts his sleuthing skills to the test. But when a young woman is murdered, with Detective Robicheaux assigned to the case, Fountain fears that if they don't crack the case in time, Miss Genny might be next.
Reviews for Payola
"As a seasoned writer myself it's always fun to find an author who hits that zone where they realize that the book is writing itself and they are typing as fast as the characters, conversations, and descriptions that make Payola seem like a work of nonfiction. Yes, you will enjoy this book."
