However, when the Landry’s and Hal arrive, they find less than welcoming circumstances: no internet or Wi-Fi, mischievous monkeys, a dangerous tenant, and then there’s that pesky dead body.

My thoughts on Deep Blue Murder
In C.S. McDonald’s latest Fiona Quinn mystery, Deep Blue Murder, readers are taken on a thrilling adventure with Fiona, Nathan, and his enigmatic mother to a secluded island in the Bahamas owned by a US ambassador.
McDonald’s signature witty banter, vivid descriptions, and unexpected plot twists are on full display, making this novel an enjoyable and captivating read. From mischievous monkeys to a troublesome dead body, the story is filled with excitement and intrigue.
Harriet had a bit of competition from the monkey, but she still has Fiona’s heart…and the top of Nathan’s head.
McDonald’s unique writing style is sure to leave readers entertained and eager for more, solidifying her place as a top author in the cozy mystery genre.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

About C.S. McDonald
For twenty-six years, C.S. McDonald’s life whirled around a song and a dance. Classically trained at Pittsburgh Ballet Theater School, The Pittsburgh Dance Alloy, and many others, she became a professional dancer and choreographer. During that time, she choreographed many musicals and an opera for the Pittsburgh Savoyards.
In 2011 she retired from her dance career to write. Under her real name, Cindy McDonald, she writes murder-suspense and romantic suspense novels.
In 2014 she added the pen name, C.S. McDonald, to write children’s books for her grandchildren. In 2016 she added the Fiona Quinn Mysteries to that expansion. She decided to write the cozy mystery series that everyone, including teens and tweens, can read and enjoy. Presently, the Fiona Quinn Mysteries nine books with a tenth slated for 2021. The books are also available on audio, narrated by Maren Swenson Waxenberg.
Cindy’s newest venture is The Owl’s Nest Mysteries. Once again, she has set her cozy mystery in Pittsburgh. The female protagonist, Alexa Owl, is much different from Fiona Quinn. The Owl’s Nest Mysteries has a little grit, a little time travel, a little romance, and a whole lot of cozy!
Ms. McDonald resides on her Thoroughbred farm known as Fly by Night Stables near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Bill, and her poorly behaved Cocker Spaniel, Allister.
