Moonstruck and Murderous: A Ned McNeil Mystery Kindle Edition

by Blanche Day Manos (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 23 ratings
A cold wind can send shivers down your spine!
The month is March—a strange month, noted for its fickle weather—but this March has an added strangeness in the form of two full moons. Could they be the reason for murder to strike the small town of Ednalee, Oklahoma? Some think so. In the quiet little town, who could be to blame? But there is more than one suspect, and before the month ends, the murderer strikes again and yet again. Could the slayings involve the Carver Mansion? Mystery surrounds the estate. Does the ancient house attract evil? Perhaps the bloodthirsty predator who stalks these historic grounds is affected by the blue moon? Amateur sleuth Ned McNeil must find out before even more people die.
Is the killer moonstruck or murderous—or both?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

In her previous life, Blanche Day Manos was a kindergarten teacher, part-time writer of feature stories for a newspaper, and writer of stories and poems for children’s and Christian magazines. Now, she lives in a bustling Arkansas town near her family. In between writing books, she enjoys painting and playing the piano.

Blanche specializes in clean mysteries that have middle-aged women protagonists with a tendency to become involved in strange and mysterious happenings in their hometowns.

Darcy Campbell, retired newspaper reporter, and her mother Flora Tucker, protagonists, can’t stay out of trouble in Levi, Oklahoma. On the surface, this lovely town seems tranquil, filled with law-abiding and peaceful people. As Darcy and Flora discover, more is going on than meets the eye. The Cemetery Club, Grave Shift, Best Left Buried, and Grave Heritage follow these courageous women from one harrowing adventure to another.

The second series, the Ned McNeil moonlight books, begin with Nettie Elizabeth McNeil returning to her hometown of Ednalee, looking forward to a reunion with her only living relative, her Uncle Javin. The reunion fails to happen and Ned, as her friends call her, discovers that she is involved in a web of lies and mysteries that have their origin in a murder that happened decades ago. Moonlight Can Be Murder indeed. More excitement takes place under a full moon in By the Fright of the Silvery Moon. The third Ned McNeil book, Moonstruck and Murderous, follows Ned and her two childhood friends into the mystery surrounding a 200-year-old house that is lovely to look at but is built around a deadly secret of its own.

    Ned has a way of finding danger and adventure even when she isn’t trying to. And despite their efforts her friends can’t keep her safe.
    Friends, family, and good clean suspense keep you reading to see if she solves the next adventure she gets mixed up with.
    Always a great read by Blanche Manos!

    5.0 out of 5 stars This Ned McNeil mystery will not disappoint!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2019
    How does Ned McNeil, amateur sleuth extraordinaire, manage to get herself involved in yet another murder mystery? Two full moons made this March seem strange enough without all the murders surrounding the majestic Carver Mansion. Several suspicious characters in the small town of Ednalee, Oklahoma, may know the reason for the deaths. With Ned’s persistence, she will let nothing stop her from getting involved before more deaths occur. It’s a real page-turner! Whether you’re already a Ned McNeil fan or a new reader, you’re going to love this one!

    5.0 out of 5 stars familiar characters and locations
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2019
    I always look forward to the publication of another book by Blanche Manos. By now I feel at home with the characters and the locations, and I know the plot is always going to be entertaining. Manos is talented in the creation of believable characters who over time feel like members of my own family. There is no graphic violence but plenty of suspense as the plot unfolds. This most recent novel joins many others by this writer and will not disappoint.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Why is a sweet old lady killed?
    Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2019
    Blanche Manos has crafted another mystery with intrigue, friendship, and love while not using vulgar language or sensational bedroom scenes.
    Ned, the heroine, is determined to help the local sheriff find answers to the latest Ednalee murder, even at the risk of her own safety.
