Is Kate London suffering from "postromantic stress disorder" when she attacks Mayor Balfours, her cheating fiancĂ©, with a golf cart? Maybe she should have counted to ten before sending him tumbling down a hill inside a port-o-john. Kate can handle her sentence: anger management classes from a deranged instructor. What really hurts is the mayor's payback-condemning her Aunt Kitty's beloved Egyptian Theater on the brink of a grand re-opening. By the next day, Kate's fury turns to shock when she finds the mayor's Tidy Bowl-stained body . . . dead in the trunk of her car. If Kitty, a former B-list movie star, has taught Kate anything, it's that the show must go on. With a murder charge pending, Kate wears out her Jimmy Choos trying to find the killer and save the family theater . . . when love makes a surprise appearance.… (more)

Kate London's life just got very complicated. Her eccentric aunt announces they'll be reopening the old Egyptian theater with a production of Brigadoon in one month, not the three months she'd anticipated. And the Egyptian needs a lot of work--more, now that vandals have targeted it.

Then she discovers her fiance, Mayor Ronnie Balfours, cheating on her, and reacts in a perfectly rational way... or rather, she reacts the way we'd all like to react: she attacks him with a golf cart.

Adding anger management classes to her already busy schedule seemed like a lot... until the dead bodies started showing up, including Mayor Ronnie's in the trunk of her car. And being busy suddenly doesn't seem so bad, now that she's a murder suspect.

It doesn't help that the sheriff is an ex-lover, or that they still strike sparks off each other.

And did I mention the Naked Bandit?

Brigadoom is a fast-paced, fun story full of humor, twists and turns, unusual characters, emotion, and a touch of romance. I'm looking forward to the next Kate London mystery. ( )
