    The Heat is On

    For rock and roll writer Mick Sever, another story, another deadly island paradise is all in a day's work. This time, Mick heads to Nassau, Bahamas, home of the legendary Highland Studio. Known for pumping out hits that burn up the charts, Highland is where the magic happens—or rather, where the magic happened until a devastating fire destroyed the entire studio. No one knows how the fire started, who started it—or whose body was found among the charred ruins. Sent to get the inside story on the opening of the new Highland Studio, Mick finds this is hardly the Phoenix-rising-out-of-the-ashes story he expected. Some say the studio's haunted, some say it's cursed, but one thing is for sure: someone—or something—wants to stop the music. A smashed guitar and erased tracks send a subtle warning, but murder? That's an entirely different tune. If Mick doesn't act fast, Highland Studio, along with everything and everyone in its path, could go up in smoke. It's not always better to burn out than to fade away.

      Sever is a fun character and I liked the fact that he wasn't the usual PI or cop. It was a refreshing change to have a main character that wasn't in law enforcement. He never looked for trouble, but often found himself right in the middle of the action.My one complaint about Sever is that I never felt like I really got to know him, but some of this could be from coming in to the middle of the series. There were some characters from earlier books mentioned, but this didn't overpower the story if you weren't familiar with them, as I wasn't. The supporting characters were original and fun and really added to the story.I have to admit, at first I wasn't thrilled with the ending. Once I mulled it over, I realized it worked. I'm not a fan of mysteries where things come together a little too neatly, and if Bahama Burnout had ended differently it would have been a stretch. I am looking forward to following Sever on more of his rock and roll adventures.

      In Don Bruns' fifth outing with music journalist Mick Sever, Mick is visiting Nassau to write a story about Highland Studios, a recording studio that suffered an arson fire killing a person who was never identified. Now rebuilt, some believe the studio is haunted by the ghost of the arson victim. But owners Jonah and Rita Britt are determined to get the studio back up and producing again. They have a shot at doing just that with the band Johnny Run who has returned to Nassau in hopes of re-igniting their music career.But the problem is strange things are starting to happen around the studio. Someone is managing to get inside the studio and damage furniture and equipment, erase recordings, even steal things. Jonah and Rita have given the keys to no one, so who could possibly be causing these things to happen? The ghost?When Johnny Run's manager is murdered followed closely by the band's star, Mick starts investigating the evidence. He's determined to find out who is creating all the havoc on Paradise Island.Bahama Burnout follows in the tradition of Bruns' four previous Mick Sever novels. Mix sun, sand, women, booze, drugs and rock and roll, add some mystery and mayhem, and you have the makings of a story ripe for Mick Sever. This time Sever is sans his ex-wife Ginny, but he still manages to wrap himself up in the ugly side of the music industry for the sake of a good story.
