Sharon Cupp Penningtonâs Hoodoo Money is a fun, fast-paced mystery set in New Orleans and Texas. The term âhoodoo moneyâ refers to a nickel that is taken from the grave of a hoodoo woman. The nickel plays an important symbolic role in the novel. It could the catalyst of a complex series of events. Then again, the appearance of the nickel may be purely coincidental . . . Hoodoo Money is a promising first novel. Sharon Cupp Pennington even leaves the door open for a sequel. It is an exciting suspense-filled read with good characters and lots of action. If Pennington wants to continue with these characters, she has the makings of a great series. ~ Cynthia Murphy, FRONT STREET REVIEWS (August 16, 2008)
