Cinnamon and Burro are at it again. A friend dies mysteriously during an investigation in Zuni, New Mexico, and a cast of eccentric characters take credit for the crime. Cinnamon is consumed by Momma's visit to an historical church where she revealed details of her past to a Zuni man. Will Cinnamon find a clue to Momma's location?
Mystery. Suspense. Empowered women. Tower Lowe (aka Donna Pecherer) tells stories set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Homeville, Virginia. Her mysteries empower women and unconventional characters from all walks of life. She was born in Virginia and lives in Santa Fe.
"In Zuni, Zymotic" continues Cinnamon's search for Momma, as well as introduces a new short mystery for she and Burro to solve. As each of these stories unwind, you begin to learn more about these characters, including the state of New Mexico, which almost seems like a character itself. I find myself wanting to take a trip there as soon as possible! As Cinnamon and Burro investigate, and ultimately resolve, this crime, you'll find yourself drawn more and more into their web of hypnotic mystery.
In Zuni, Zymotic finds Cinnamon and Burro following up on a civil rights case and continuing the search for Cinnamon's mother. They meet some twists and turns and in the end Cinnamon learns that Dr Stuart is her father. The search continues... A well-written short story in the continuing saga of Cinnamon and Burro.
I received this short story as part of a box set, and as a gift for my honest and unbiased review.
