If you want a hilarious mystery in the vein of Janet Evanovich, with the witty dialogue of a Jennifer Crusie novel, this is the book for you. If that doesn’t get your curiosity going, nothing will.
… By the way, best scene in the book two words: cucumber blindness. I know my town growing up had its share of wacky characters. It’s also a fairly accurate depiction of small town Southern life. All in all, this is a high-quality read that holds it own against its contemporaries, especially those with a funny side. Mystery fans will not be disappointed either, as the ending is both surprising and hints strongly at future sequels. Hart matches some bestsellers I’ve read with her memorable characters Addison and Nick set the pages on fire whenever they’re together, and Addison’s mom manages to be charmingly bizarre and yet completely believable. Rarely do I read a book that has me laughing on nearly every page… this is one such book. There were several different people involved, but Liliana gives you enough character building for each one that you feel you get to know them. I enjoyed the character development of each of the principles.
It is well written, entertaining and a quick read. Not to mention the fact that I was now able to stick my nose into other people’s business for a good cause, find a murderer and pick up helpful tips from an incredibly attractive detective.Ĭome check out my story and be thankful your life is relatively normal. Money is money, and I was about to be homeless.
And it didn’t bother me one bit that it was the equivalent of a pity fuck. Fortunately, I had a friend who felt sorry enough for me to give me a job doing some surveillance work at her detective agency. I was in a desperate situation and if the school board ever found out I’d been a stripper, even a bad stripper, I’d be jobless as well as fiancé-less and homeless. The truth is that I’m pretty much used to disasters following me around on a daily basis, but I could have gone without finding my principal dead in the parking lot of a seedy gentlemen’s club.Īfter the initial shock of finding my first dead body, which included throwing back shots of Jack Daniels like it was water, I decided to take stock of my life. You might be under the assumption that my life went to the dogs when my fiancé left me at the altar for the home economics teacher, or when I got notice that my apartment building was going to be condemned, or even when I was desperate enough to strip to my unmentionables to earn some extra cash so I could buy a house. My name is Addison Holmes, and I teach history at James Madison High School in Whiskey Bayou, Georgia.
