Smart, sassy, and hugely entertaining.-Reviews by Leila
Recently widowed Shep Hartigate is a dishonored cop reduced to chasing cheating spouses for a ruthless Houston divorce lawyer. Free-spirited Smartie Breedlove is a pulp fiction writer on a mission to find out who's killing the
inconvenient exes of Texas, including her BFF, Charma, a notorious centerfold with a heart of gold. Problematic lovers, long-suffering family, and stalwart friends (two-and four-legged) chime in, along with Smartie's characters, who keep jumping the turnstile between fiction and reality.
Plenty of publishing industry shade is thrown in this deliciously quirky whodunit full of hard-boiled plot twists and insider homages to Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Daphne du Maurier. As Smartie and
Shep maneuver to stay alive, every clue leads to another question. Does Shep's gorgeous but unscrupulous employer really have a secret bimbo/mimbo hit list? Or is Smartie Breedlove lost in the dime novel that constantly unspools
inside her head?
