Deadwood Humorous Mystery Series Book #14

Audible Audiobook

Published February 25, 2025 by Ann Charles

Violet Parker has big troubles these days—the ticking kind. To duck the Grim Reaper, she needs to get her hands on eighty-plus rare, mystical clocks locked up tight by a thick-headed detective.

The solution? Hijack the truckload of ticking time bombs out from under Johnny Law’s nose.

But no caper ever goes according to plan. What starts out as a game of clocks and robbers twists and turns into a chaos of cops and clobbers.

Will Violet beat the detective in time? Or will she spend Valentine’s Day behind bars?

I preordered my copy and will be starting it later today!! Yippee!

I absolutely love this series and the narrator is amazing.

I love listening to each book.

“I am your magistra,” Aunt Zoe said. “My sole purpose on this Earth is to support you and your executioner endeavors at all times in order to continue our Scharfricther line. We are a team until death do us part. Understand, baby girl?”

“Got it.” I blinked away a sudden onset of tears. “But I’m sorry that your purpose is taking care of me. It should be about following your dreams.” 

She shook her head. “I’m not sorry. It’s an honor, don’t you see?” She caught my hand and squeezed it.

“To play a part in history in such a way is an opportunity only offered to a few. I’m thrilled that the work I’ve put into learning about our ancestors—about their accomplishments and failures—is not only appreciated, but is being put to use. To have collected such knowledge only to pass it on to the next magistra without putting it into action it would’ve been a letdown.”  

~Violet Parker and Aunt Zoe

Release Day! Hip Deep in Bad Company by Ann Charles & Sam Lucky @AnnWCharles

Happy Release Day!

Congrats Ann & Sam

on the release today of 

Hip Deep in Bad Company!

Hip Deep in Bad Company by Ann Charles & Sam Lucky
(Deadwood Undertaker #5)
Paranormal, Mystery, 380 pages
Published June 28, 2024 by Ann Charles

I ran freight and wagon trains for years from Missouri to Santa Fe. Courted death from arrows to snake bites, drowning to dysentery, each and every trip. Came through all that only to be dealt a bad hand in Deadwood. Got myself killed.

Now the Grim Reaper is swinging for my boys, too. They’re men, actually, and I won’t let them end up dead like me. Same goes for their friends, Clementine the Amazon and Hank Varney.

First thing, we need to reckon with that smokey Egyptian devil. His no-good henchmen are searching for something underneath the streets of Deadwood. One thing’s for sure—it’s not gold.

Second, the Pinkertons tracked my boys all the way to the Black Hills. I figured they would, but hoped they wouldn’t. My boys will end up in jail yet.

Not so long ago, Deadwood seemed like a good place to set up a freight office, but now the Hills are hip deep in bad company. Sooner or later, the devils around here are going to kill us all. Well, not all, unless you can kill a fella twice.

“I’m a ghost. A specter, some would say. A spirit. A shade, the hallucination of a compromised mind. Whatever moniker you prefer, that’s me. Excepting that last one.” ~ Uncle Morton

TimeReaping in Deadwood by Ann Charles ~ My Thoughts #TimeReapingInDeadwood @AnnWCharles #DeadwoodMysterySeries

 

TimeReaping in Deadwood by Ann Charles
(Deadwood #13)
Paranormal, Mystery, 345 pages
Published September 28, 2023 by Ann Charles

Time is a tricky devil. And so is that blasted imp!

Violet Parker needs to catch the little terror before it wreaks even more havoc in the Black Hills. But now that she’s saddled with this dang Timekeeper gig, she has a lot to juggle, like the real monsters wanting to tear the flesh from her bones just for fun.

If she can’t figure out how to wrangle “time” to save her family, the Grim Reaper might come swinging for them next.

But what about that danged honey-loving imp?

“Bravery badges are frickin’ overrated.” ~ Violet Parker

My thoughts about TimeReaping in Deadwood ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First lines—"'This here crazy-ass notion of yours has me thinkin' ya got termites in your rafters.' Ol' Man Harvey said, eyeing me over a shopping cart laden with jars of honey."

Oh my, how can this series just keep getting better and better? The adventures of Violet and her supportive, quirky, crazy crew continue to amaze me with each page that I turn. TimeReaping in Deadwood is book #13 in the Deadwood mystery series and these characters have grown on me more and more with each book. I can't wait for another visit to Deadwood to see what they are up to. And believe me, Ann always leaves the reader wanting more!

This installment didn't seem to be quite as drama filled but more character driven, which I loved. I loved the relationship development going on among all the characters. And Harvey—same ol' Harvey—if you know you know. I love Harvey!

I am a huge fan of Ann Charles and have read this series from the start. It is so hard to wait for each new book to come out but the anticipation is part of the fun. Where will she take me next? I totally loved TimeReaping in Deadwood and read it way to fast. I devoured it actually. And now.... I wait. 

I highly recommend this series if you want some laughs, drama, creepiness, and a whole bunch of family love and support. TimeReaping in Deadwood for the win!

#Giveaway Time! Nearly Departed in Deadwood by Ann Charles #NearlyDepartedInDeadwood @AnnWCharles

 

I have sooooo many books!

The This OR That Giveaway! feature that I post every Saturday is a way for me to cull my collection and to share some of the many books I have. I get to clear off some of my shelves to make room for more books and also to give someone else the chance to enjoy these treasures.

This week's giveaway is going to be a little different from my This OR That Giveaway. As this post goes live, I am on my way to Deadwood with my daughter and DIL. We will be out there for a week and part of the week will be for Ann Charles' Fan Party. She holds this party every year and we went last year for the first time. We had a blast and can't wait for this one—four days of amazingness. 

Ann is one of my favorite, must-read-everything-she writes, authors. I go see her whenever I can, whenever she is close. She is a hoot! I absolutely love this series and all of her fun, quirky characters. I've listened to this entire series on audio and it is amazing. The narrator does a great job! 

I have an extra copy of the first book in Ann's Deadwood mystery series for my giveaway this week. And I'm thinking I can probably grab some great swag and goodies from her while I'm out there to make this giveaway extra special. 

Here are the first couple of lines of Nearly Departed in Deadwood. I think this first line is one of the best ever!

"The first time I came to Deadwood, I got shot in the ass. Now, twenty-five years later, as I stared into the double barrels of Old Man Harvey's shotgun, irony was having a fiesta and I was the piñata."

Ann and me over the years. Gotta love the purple boots!

Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!

Finding Libbie

By Deanna Lynn Sletten

Paperback ~ Published September 2016

Poring over a dusty hatbox of photographs in her grandmother’s closet, Emily Prentice is shocked to discover her father was married to his high school sweetheart before meeting her mother.

In the summer of 1968, Jack and Libbie fall in love under the spell of their small town, untouched by the chaos of the late sixties. Though Libbie’s well-to-do parents disapprove of Jack’s humble family and his aspiration to become a mechanic, she marries Jack a year after they graduate high school. But soon their happiness crumbles as Libbie’s mental state unravels and she is drawn to alcohol and drugs. Despite his efforts to help her, Jack loses the woman he loves and is forced to move on with his life.

Now that Emily’s mother has passed away, Jack is alone again, and Emily grows obsessed with the beautiful woman who had given her father such joy. Determined to find Libbie, Emily pieces together the couple’s fragmented past. But is it too late for happy endings?

Read my thoughts here

Finding Libbie is one of my favorites of Deanna's books and one that I have read several times. And as I have said before, I'm typically not a re-reader of books but this one did it for me. It is incredible!

Catawampus Christmas Carol by Ann Charles and Sam Lucky ~ My Thoughts #AnnCharles #SamLucky #CatawampusChristmasCarol

Catawampus Christmas Carol

Catawampus Christmas Carol by Ann Charles and Sam Lucky
Series: Deadwood Undertaker Series Book 3.5
Published November 30, 2020 by Ann Charles & Sam Lucky

*Catawampus (adj.): 1.) Fierce, savage 2.) Askew, awry

It’s a cold and snowy Christmas Eve in the rowdy mining town of Deadwood in the Dakota Territory. Rather than enjoy some drinks in front of a warm fire with her friends, contracted Slayer Clementine Johanssen has her horse saddled and weapons packed to head out into the hills and hunt down some deadly scallywags—alone. When her friends catch wind of her intentions, they set out to waylay her long enough to change her way of thinking … in spite of her mule-headedness.

Reminiscent of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, this catawampus tale will add a heartening dose of fun and camaraderie to your holiday!

Note: This is book 3.5 of the Deadwood Undertaker Series

*(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

* * * * *

From the bestselling, multiple award-winning, humorous Deadwood Mystery series comes a new herd of tales set in the same Deadwood stomping grounds, only back in the days when the Old West town was young.

My thoughts about A Catawampus Christmas Carol ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First line—"Once upon a time ... Actually it was Christmas Eve, 1876 in the rough and tumble mining town of Deadwood (Dakota Territory) but anyway ..."

Are you like me and like things that are a bit unusual? A little off the wall? Well, I've got the perfect Christmas story for you! 

Catawampus Christmas Carol is not your ordinary holiday read but it was such a fun treat. Reading a book set in the old west of Deadwood and centering around an executioner sounds like the perfect way to spend the days before Christmas, don't you think? It really is a fun, feel-good story that will have you laughing out loud at the character's shenanigan's. 

I love Ann Charles and her Deadwood mystery series! And I love these new wacky characters that she and Sam Lucky have introduced us to in this Undertaker series. Each book just gets better and better. 

And I'll leave you with one last, very important word - Prudence! 😉 💕

Devil Days in Deadwood by Ann Charles ~ My Thoughts #DevilDaysInDeadwood #AnnWCharles

Devil Days in Deadwood

Devil Days in Deadwood by Ann Charles 
Deadwood #11
Kindle Edition, 410 pages
Published May 29th 2020 by Ann Charles

Violet Parker knows better than to play with devils. They always cheat, especially when lives are at stake. Deadwood’s charming, troublemaking, and soul-sucking devils are no different, and they’re biting at her heels.

But the clock is ticking and Violet has no choice—she must risk her life to save her treasured Aunt Zoe. With any luck, she might be able to trick the devils and beat the old terrors at their own game. If not, Deadwood could end up short one Executioner.

“Executioners don't duck, they swing.” ~ Violet Parker

My thoughts about Devil Days in Deadwood ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"'What dumbass thought catching an Hungarian devil made of smoke and shadow was a good idea?'"

Oh my gosh! With an opening line like that one, you just know the rest of the book is going to be one crazy ride. And believe me it, definitely was an exciting one. I absolutely love this series and I'm forever amazed at the dramatic and creative story-lines that Ann comes up with for each book. What will she think of next? 

Devil Days in Deadwood has maybe become one of my favorites in this whole series. I just absolutely loved everything about it. The ongoing and quirky relationships were at their peak. I can't count how many times I laughed out loud, such hilarious characters. Then the dangers that Violet's profession puts them all in was exciting, as well as being a bit scary. And in the end, everyone works together to defeat the bad guys..... for now. There are always more waiting in the wings. 

I have a love/hate relationship with the endings of Ann's books. She leaves the reader in a dramatic situation but always promises that there will be more coming, we just need to be patient. But it is so hard!! 

I am a huge fan of this whole series and I'm always recommending them to anyone and everyone who will listen to me. Check it out!
