The Magnolia Murders

Sawyer and Royce: Matrimony and Mayhem, Book 1

By: Aimee Nicole Walker

Narrated by: Tristan James

Everything old is new again in love and murder.

Work together, live together, and play together is the name of the game for Royce Locke and Sawyer Key. But one of those things changes when Chief Mendoza taps Sawyer to lead the newly formed cold case unit. His first task: solve the Magnolia Murders that spanned three decades and suddenly stopped in 2000.

Chaos ensues when a fourth Magnolia Queen contender is murdered during a preliminary round. With the pageant's one hundredth anniversary looming, the pressure is on to produce results. Royce and Sawyer, along with their new partners, have to team up to solve the Magnolia Murders—old and new.

As the investigation continues, a surprise visitor and an unexpected phone call force the men to face painful things from their pasts. The future Royce and Sawyer dream of is within their grasp, but first, they'll need to uproot the seeds of discontent they've buried deep.

Contains mature themes.

Love Locke and Key

This new series has is an easy transition from Zero Hour Series! You did it again Aimee Nicole Walker! The mystery is never boring and I love the balance between humor and romance!

Never a dull moment

I loved the book, but it really came to life with the narration by Tristan James. Bravo.

Knew beauty Pageants were Evil!

Loved...everything about this. Sawyer and Royce are the best and the premise for this story, evolving with the characters was excellent.

mystery or romance?

Although mystery/crime novels include some romance, this is much more focused on the romance and sex, to the point that the mystery gets short shrift.

Loving this series.

These two were a good pair to listen to. Listening to Tristan reading this book was so goood.
