Book Description:

While dangling a fishing hook from his flat bottom skiff before dawn, former SEAL-turned-PI Craige Ingram spots grey-black smoke coiling above the treetops across the river in the direction of the Georgia bayous and Corpsewood Manor. Bayou or bogs, fire in the uncut cypress and pines bodes a sense that the river is no barrier to the fire that threatens his ancestral home, Moccasin Hollow. Neither are the bodies later found in the burned mansion of Corpsewood Manor. Craige wastes no time in helping his ex-SEAL buddy Lt. Graysen MacGerald who is now Head of Buckingham Homicide Investigations by unofficially investigating the bodies and an exquisite dragonfly brooch found in the mansion with a reputation for evil, hauntings, and mystery.

My Review: 

Blood of The Dragonfly is the fifth installment from Hawk MacKinney’s Moccasin Hollow Mystery Series. I had the pleasure of reading the last book in the series, Dead Gold, and was excited to have a chance to read this one. Even though they are part of a series, I believe each book can be read as a stand alone. While I enjoyed book four, I think I enjoyed this one so much more! It is not a very long read, but it is full of what I like in a tale. First off, I know I should not judge a book but I was intrigued with this title and its cover. It had lot going on that held my attention throughout. There was unpredictable mystery and thrill riding suspense. I never knew what was going to happen next. I had to keep reading until I was completely done. It was so so good. I found it to be so much fun and entertaining to read. 

Blood of The Dragonfly will be getting four and a half stars from me. I believe readers who enjoy reading quick mystery and suspense, will not want to miss out on this one. I would love to read more from the Moccasin Hollow Mystery Series in the future, as well as, catching up on the first three books that started it all off. 

I received a paperback copy of Blood of The Dragonfly from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
