Miss Me When I'm Gone

The book combines an interesting history of country music singers with a double-murder investigation. When Gretchen Waters, the author of Tammyland, dies unexpectedly, her pregnant friend, Jamie Madden, becomes her "literary executor." Jamie finds enough disturbing information in Gretchen's files to undertake an investigation into Gretchen's death and uncovers a "cold case" along the way. The information about the lives of the country music icons is the most interesting part of this book for me since I previously only knew their names. The investigation into the murders became somewhat tedious. It is a book that is easily read, and may be fascinating for devoted country music fans.
