This was really a great book! I thought it would be just another cozy, but was totally surprised! Likeable characters, and a wonderful plot that just when you think you know all the answers, the author throws you a curve ball!

Murder and other goings-on in a small East Texas town. Good feel for small-town life. Much more hard-edged than the author's "Biggie" series.

I really wanted to like this book, but just couldn't. It is set in my "neck of the woods" and much of it rang true. But there were too many characters and the time sequence was often off. Things happened much too fast or too slowly to be believable. Also someone would do something that took one day in the book and another character would talk about it being a longer time period. The ending was nothing that could have been predicted from the story line (I know sometimes that's good, but trust me it wasn't) and the title had nothing to do with the story.
