My Thoughts on Waves of Murder
“Waves of Murder” is the third book in the Fiona Quinn Mystery series written by C.S. McDonald.
The school year has ended, and Fiona Quinn, currently a kindergarten teacher, is excited to spend quality time with her boyfriend, Detective Nathan Landry, and in her yard. However, Fiona’s mother volunteers her to edit a manuscript for a famous romance author, Wyla Parkes. The author insists that Fiona work on the manuscript at her beach cottage on Presque Isle, which is three hours away from Fiona’s yard and Nathan.
Fiona’s summer plans take a turn when people start turning up dead, beginning with the author. Fiona’s relaxing vacation is now a murder investigation, and she and Nathan must crack the case before the killer escapes.
I always enjoy books from C.S. McDonald, and “Waves of Murder” is no exception. I love the author’s writing style, as she hooks the reader from the beginning and builds intrigue and fun throughout the book.
While it is not necessary to read the books in order, it would provide a better understanding and enjoyment of the series.
As always, C.S. McDonald’s stories are suitable for readers of all ages. I highly recommend “Waves of Murder” to all fans of clean, cozy mysteries.
I received a copy of the book for the tour but had already read it through Kindle Unlimited. 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.
