Book Description:
Brain damaged after a tragic car accident that took both her parents, Gibby McGraw is now NQR (Not Quite Right), a real challenge for a fledgling newspaper reporter. Especially when she stumbles upon the dead body of the next governor of Kentucky, Buster Malloy.
Armed with her trusty blue spiral notebook, Gibby figures that solving the murder might be her best chance to prove to everyone that she can become Quite Right again. But she gets more than she bargained for when she uncovers a world of corruption, racism and family secrets in small town Cray Ridge. Lucky for her, she's also about to discover that some things are far more important than all the brains in the world, and that miracles occur in the most unexpected moments.

I have read mixed reviews on this book. I have to say, I enjoyed it. It was quick and easy and good story to get lost in. If you looking for something like Whistling In The Dark, this won't be it. But if you can enjoy the story for it's own merits you won't be disappointed. It's like her first book only in that it is told from a very different perspective from most books. For me this made it all the more refreshing. Just a good quick read!!!

Echoes of times and how they have changed. Characters so real,reminding me of growing up in a small town in the 70's.
This is supposed to be a wonderful book, but after over 100 pages, I finally gave up and gave it away. I just could not get into the story.
