A mystery with off-the-wall characters who provide laugh-out-loud entertainment. With unrepentant seniors who say whatever comes to mind and the rekindling of a first love. The action doesn't stop and the prime suspect keeps changing. You will enjoy this fast-moving, easy read
When her 72 year old mother is accused of murdering her boyfriend, Jolene Jackson has no choice buta ato go home to Kickapoo, Texas and try to help. What she finds is a mess of small town politics and intrigue, complicated by the possibility of re-igniting a romance with her high school sweetheart.
I had a hard time getting into the storyline. It took me 50-60 pages to warm up to the characters. I did enjoy the rest of the book although I found the plot a little weak.
I received this book as a GoodReads First Read.
fun and rollicking read with unusual characters...
If a book can keep me interested until the end it was worth my time. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I would read other books by this author.
