MURDER ON THE MISSISSIPPI
by Erik S. Meyers
April 28 – May 16, 2025 Virtual Book Tour
THE SALLY WITHERSPOON MYSTERY SERIES
Six months after the events in Death in the Ozarks, Sally Witherspoon is trying to put that terrible time behind her. She books a river cruise down the Mississippi to get away and relax.
Unfortunately relaxation is not to be as as she's called on to get to the bottom of a mysterious death that occurs on board.
A combination of Cheers bartender and Miss Marple, Sally Witherspoon is as determined as ever to solve it.
Praise for Murder On The Mississippi:
"An enjoyable, but deadly cruise down the Mississippi that will keep you in suspense from start to finish! A relaxing trip down the river that turns into a nightmare for main character Sally Witherspoon is a delightful mystery for readers... Lots of twists make for an entertaining read. And like Sally, once it’s over, I’m ready for the next adventure. Looking forward to more in the Sally Witherspoon series!"
~ Ivanka Fear, author of the Blue Water Mysteries and Jake and Mallory Thrillers
My Review:
This mystery got off to a slow start. Sally is on a cruise and nothing happens until a death about a third of the way into the book. Sally investigates the death, sure it is murder. The strength of this novel comes from the places visited by those on the cruise, such as the Trail of Tears State Park in Missouri. Meyers explores how those on the cruise deal with that reminder of a difficult time in the nation's history as well as the experiences of displaced peoples in general.
Information is revealed near the end that helps to identify the villain. The actual end of the novel is emotional and a little strange. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this mystery adventure with Sally, a suitable amateur sleuth.
My rating: 4/5 stars.

DEATH IN THE OZARKS
A cross between Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and a Cheers bartender, Sally Witherspoon, a 50-something accountant turned biker-bar owner, loves solving puzzles. Up to now, she has focused on helping neighbors and friends find lost jewelry, lost pets, and lost loves.
But when she finds her best friend and business partner, Bill Arnold, dead in a dumpster behind her bar on a Saturday night, she needs all her wits and grit to find out who did it.
And she won't stop until she does.
