When high-powered executive Roxanne Howard dies in a pool of blood outside the Moonshine Inn, Richmond, Virginia’s premiere redneck bar, the victim’s sister enlists Hazel Rose to ferret out the killer. At first Hazel balks—she’s a romance writer, not a detective. But Brad Jones, Rox’s husband, is the prime suspect. He’s also Hazel’s cousin, and Hazel believes in doing anything to help family. Never mind that Brad won’t give her the time of day—he’s still family.
Hazel recruits her book group members to help with the investigation. It’s not long before they discover any number of people who feel that a world without Rox Howard is just fine with them: Brad’s son believes that Rox and Brad were behind his mother’s death; Rox’s former young lover holds Rox responsible for a tragedy in his family; and one of Rox’s employees filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against her. The killer could be an angry regular from the Moonshine Inn—or just about anyone who ever crossed paths with the willful and manipulative Rox. When a second murder ups the ante Hazel must find out who is behind the killings. And fast. Or she may be victim #3.
Settle in and invite your own bookclub to share in this complex and thought provoking multiple murder mystery. The main characters may be approaching retirement age but their brains have not slowed down.
Hazel Rose has no intention of investigating another real life murder. She says no when asked, more than once. So, is she really giving in when she invites her whole book club to seek out the truth?
Doing research for a future book is not her only cover story. Hazel may not be the only one wearing a disguise. Who will see through the pretentions first? Just because someone is family, do you owe them any benefit of doubt or forgive their actions?
Mixing humor with ridiculous situations and fun dialogue this mystery will keep you guessing until the last act.
