Prosperity Dawning

by Cherie Mitchell, David F. Berens

Prosperity is back!

A cult of free-thinking sun and moon worshippers, a string of bizarre deaths, and a mad scramble to make sense of it all before someone else is found dead.

People are gathering on the island to witness a rare lunar event and along with the everyday sightseers comes a cult whose members have been known to cause trouble before. After Prosperity and Rueben discover the body of the cult leader left in a bizarre final resting place the remainder of the cult members start to drop like flies.

Can Reuben and Prosperity find the reason for the deaths and the cult leader’s killer before it’s too late? Or will Prosperity’s past catch up on her and prevent her from moving forward?

Seems it might be time to make like bulrush and reed on…

Prosperity

I love this character and Ruby as well. They work well off each other. Their sense of humor and the sexual contact, or the lack thereof, keeps you waiting for more

Why are members of a cult dying one by one?
Prosperity & Rube are called in when the leader is found dead and left in amongst some plants.
Can they discover why they are dying/being killed one by one before there are none left.

An interesting mystery series with some light romance.
I received an arc copy of this book

Prosperity Dawning combined several elements along with the investigation of multiple deaths involving a cult visiting Martha’s Vineyard. Once again Prosperity’s quirky personality makes for an excellent element in the story. I’ve enjoyed this series of Prosperity Spartanburg stories that I’ve loaded the next in line with my Kindle Unlimited membership.

Cute, quirky murder mystery

I like Prosperity’s character, but getting tired of her catchy sayings from Serendipity. Ruben’s have at least changed from the constant sexual inuendos to just a little cheesy. Ok read.
