Synopsis
day she graduated high school and watched Bald Knob, Kentucky get smaller and
smaller in her rearview mirror. She wanted more for her life than a tiny town
where everyone knows your business and you can’t find a decent cup of coffee
for at least forty miles. Twelve years later, an unexpected phone call in the
middle of the night has her packing up her life in Chicago and racing back home
to the one person she ever regretted leaving behind.Upon her return, she sees that Leo Hudson, the scrawny boy who followed Payton
around like a puppy and could recite cow insemination facts in his sleep, is
long gone. Leo is still hot on her heels, but now he’s wearing a sheriff badge
and dead set on solving a murder that may or may not involve Payton…along
with half the town. In a place where the biggest crime happened the day someone
kicked a few of his cows, people are pointing fingers, rumors are spreading
like wildfire, and Payton swears she’s only making out with the sweet-talking, studly
sheriff to distract him from the secrets she’s keeping.
When you’ve been tased, peed on by a yippy dog named Bo Jangles, and can’t stop
picturing what Sheriff Hudson looks like naked, it will be a tough job making
everyone agree that…Jed had to die.
Louisa’s 4 Star Review
Tara Sivec has done it again! She has given us a book that had me literally…seriously, literally, laughing out loud. Along with her quick witted humor, she gives us characters, once again, that I want as my friends. There is laughter, great banter between all of the characters. Tara threw in some mystery to keep us on our toes and of course some sexy for us romance readers.
I have been a long time fan of Tara Sivec and this is the Ms. Sivec I fell in love with as a writer. She keeps your attention with her funny words, her characters who she writes so beautifully and a story that compels you to keep reading. Who else can write a book about someone being murdered that’s a comedy?? Tara Sivec…that’s who!
The cast of characters –
Payton – a native of Bald Knob, who’s moved to Chicago to get away from the small town life. She has a growing coffee shop business, Liquid Crack. She’s back to help her childhood friend and gets herself in the middle of a serious mess.
Bettie – the tatted up, funny and speaks-her-mind best friend to Payton
Emma Jo – Payton’s best friend from her childhood. She’s married to Jed (see below) and needs her BFF more than ever
Leo Hudson – Hot guy…that’s all I am giving you but you will soon know why I love everything about Leo.
Jed – Emma Jo’s husband who’s a jerk and well, deserved to die…yup – Jed HAD to Die!
Deputy Lloyd – the quick, unassuming Deputy from Bald Knob who may have a bit of a crush on Emma Jo
Starla Godfrey, Bo Jangles, Bettie Lake, Justine Pickerson, Ruby Lambert, Mo Wesley and a slew more townspeople who will keep you laughing.
You will finish this book with a smile on your face and the unbelievable need for a good cup of coffee!
