Calamine L. Parrish has decided to take her friend Jane to a Blue Grass Festival. Callie has borrowed her brother’s motor home and it looks like Callie and Jane are in for a great weekend. That is until Kenny Strickland picked up his instrument case and found a body sticking out. The body was that of Little Fiddlin Freddy who had just joined up with the Second Time Around Group. Freddy was a dwarf so it wasn’t a lot of problem for him to fit into the case.
The Sheriff reminds Callie to butt out of the investigation but she finds that impossible. The body of Kenny Strickland is found in Callie’s motor home and the next thing that happens is that Jane disappears. Jane is blind but is usually pretty self-sufficient but the festival is held on an island and Jane does not know her way around.
The musicians and Callie’s family step up to the plate to help locate Jane. They even organize a vigil that turns out very successful.
Everyone seems willing to pitch in but Callie is not sure who she wants to trust. She is dealing with Little Fiddlin Freddy’s wife who wants an elaborate funeral and Freddy’s brother-in-law who proclaims himself a water witch that can find anything.
Rizzie who runs the Gallah Restaurant turns out to be a big help to Callie but ultimately Callie is on her own in finding Jane.
The owner’s of The Middleton Mortuary where Callie works are twins and a lot of fun to read about. A Tisket, A Tasket, A Fancy Stolen Casket is the first book in the Callie Parrish series and I have enjoyed both of them.
