Bluebonnet Ballerina
The Amazing Gracie Trilogy #2
by Carol Kilgore
Genre: Mystery / Romance
Synopsis
Gracie Hofner returns, and chaos reigns—including a couple of ghosts trying to save their granddaughter.
But as Gracie dances from problem to problem, she’s unaware the music has been orchestrated into a murderous symphony.
When a different melody reaches Gracie’s ears from a guitar played by the new tenant living in her garage apartment, her tension vanishes. She listens unseen, cocooned in the shadows on her patio, and wonders who he’s longing for—and how it would feel for a man to crave her that much.
She can’t dwell on those thoughts, however. Problems of murder and missing prisoners abound. To say nothing of the ghosts. No one ever said being a law enforcement consultant would be easy.
BLUEBONNET BALLERINA follows JALAPENO CUPCAKE WENCH and is the second book in The Amazing Gracie Trilogy.

Enjoy the excerpt:
“Ow! Ow! Ow!” Gracie Hofner twitched with each exclamation.
“For crying out loud, Grace, you’d think I was trying to kill you.”
“You are. This is supposed to feel good.” Gracie tried to lift herself up.
Ariana held her down with one arm and tortured her with the other. “You’ve got a knot bigger than Thor’s fist in here. I’m working it loose.”
“It’ll work itself out.”
“No it won’t. It’ll give you a headache and neck spasms and a hitch in her side. Now lie still and shut up.” A hundred and ten skinny pounds of pure muscle and bone returned to attacking Gracie’s back.
Ariana Ayala was Gracie’s best friend, but when Ariana went into massage mode, arguing was futile. This was her first massage in her friend’s new studio, but nothing about her technique had changed. Gracie sighed and tried to relax. The more she loosened up, the harder Ariana dug. The woman had forty fingers and ten elbows, all of them poking Gracie’s sore back.
“Much better now.” Ariana continued to knead the same spot, except with much less pressure. That’s what it felt like, but Ariana always said the pressure was the same. The difference was the muscle had relaxed. “Next time I’ll work on it again. It won’t be so bad. You must’ve had one hell of a week.”
“Something like that.”
“You can tell me later. Relax now. You’ll enjoy the rest of this.”

Sounds a lot of fun. I used to do ballet for many years. 👍👍
I wanted to try ballet but never did. I love to watch it though:)
I did ballet, too, starting almost as soon as I could walk. Mom signed me up because she said I kept tripping over my own feet. Not sure it helped, but it was fun!
haha! Me too! From a really early age. Sounds like our mums had similar ideas LOL x
It sounds awesome and the cover is beautiful.
The synopsis hooked me! And the cover is lovely. It would be a great framed picture.

Hi Lisa! Thanks for following Gracie’s tour 🙂
I need to read the first in this trilogy but this sounds really good.
You can pick up this book and not be lost, but if you read the first book, you’ll know the characters better and have a deeper understanding of the full story.
This looks like a good book. It definitely has my attention!
Cool! Thank you.
I’ve seen this doing its rounds. Got to love a book about ballet! 🙂
Gracie may have done some work at the barre once upon a time… or maybe it was the bar 🙂
Great excerpt, I enjoyed reading it.
I’m glad!
