With her strong opinions and knack for getting into trouble, Reagan is not an ideal volunteer for her mother’s alderman campaign. Plus, she’d rather be running her consignment shop, the Prissy Fox, and eating doughnuts with her dog, Bruce Willis. But when her mother’s opponent, Kip, is found poisoned and her mother is pegged as a suspect, Reagan nominates herself as lead murder investigator.
Reagan is intent on finding Kip’s killer and clearing her mother’s good name, but she soon finds herself on the bad side of Kip’s enemies-turned-suspects. This time, no amount of costumes and makeup can keep her inconspicuous and out of danger. Because the closer Reagan gets to the truth, the hotter things get….

My Review:
I really liked this book. I loved the southern lingo and found myself smiling. I also really liked the author's take on an election. I have ran for office and know that there is a lot of drama. The ending was totally unsuspected. I was just getting used to who the killer was, and then the author added another twist. I also liked the addition of Reagan's dog. He was my favorite character. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. I would love to go out drinking and have martini's with these characters.

  1. Question: do you base yours character's personalities on real people you know, or on imaginary people?
