‘Divas in Cahoots’ by Jon McDonald – A Comedy of Murder that Will Keep Readers Guessing

NEW YORK - Sept. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- ‘Divas in Cahoots’, a contemporary romance and murder mystery, is the much-anticipated sequel to Jon McDonald’s ‘Divas Never Flinch’. Dubbed as a ‘Comedy of Murder’, this fun and entertaining read is actually a hardboiled crime story that will keep readers glued to the pages. The puzzle the main characters have to solve is so complicated and intriguing, and the whole plot is so full of twists and turns, that the readers won’t be able to figure out the solution until it is given to them in the last chapter.

Sonora Livingston-Bundt and Connye Andreatos, the two divas of Santa Fe, are faced with a new rival. Bella Harrington-Crenshaw has just moved in town and she wants to use her money, power, and manipulation skills to dominate the social scene that until now has belonged to Sonora and Connye. When Bella is found dead, the two divas might just be among the suspects. However, the police soon discover that more powerful forces are at work. International spies, senatorial murder, blackmail, art theft, hidden identities… this case seems to have it all. And then, there’s also the intriguing detective who’s got his own secrets, and Sonora and Connye are not sure what to make of him.

Even though ‘Divas in Cahoots’ comes right after ‘Divas Never Flinch’ and uses the same cast of characters, it can be read as a standalone. Readers will be immediately seduced by the witty and unconventional Sonora and Connye, and they will root for them until the very last page. Just like all the other books written by Jon McDonald, this satirical murder mystery impresses through brilliant writing, clever plot twists, and non-stop action.

Here is what one Amazon reviewer said about this novel: ‘You don’t need to have read McDonald’s first ‘Divas’ book to enjoy this nifty murder mystery. But if you have, it will be a treat to once again meet the Santa Fe social scene’s mix of hilarious divas – up to their old shenanigans with delightful new characters to mix it all up. Very funny, with lots of plot twists and turns, and a lot of fun surprises.’
