With
her marriage in the toilet and her reporter job dangling by a slim thread,
conservative Molly Darter can’t refuse her latest assignment, that of
collecting the family-placed obituary of a dead nudist. To her chagrin, she
discovers she knew the dead woman, Barbara Jean McAllister, as the nice lady at
the Marshview organic produce stand.
The
head nudist insists Barbara Jean’s death was murder, but Molly has no intention
of writing more than that obit. Her mind changes when revealing photos of her
father and other community leaders consorting with Barbara Jean come her way.
To protect her father and save her job, she delves into the dead woman’s life.
Things
heat up when her estranged husband’s undercover drug ring collides with Molly’s
dead nudist investigation. Will Molly find the woman’s killer, or will the
killer find Molly?
I
need to stop reading at bedtime when I have to be somewhere the next day. These authors are keeping me up at
night. I know, kvetch, kvetch,
kvetch. Maybe I should read War and
Peace. I need to get back to a schedule
where I’m getting to sleep at a reasonable hour—like two or three a.m. instead
of five or six. I know, Anna Karenina’s
coming out soon as a movie. Maybe I
should try to read the book first.
Meanwhile,
Molly Darter’s adventures with the nudists—’scuse me—naturalists, kept me
guessing who dunnit, while cracking up at her attempts to juggle her family,
and life in a small town. Yes, one where
the sneeze analogy I used a couple of weeks ago definitely applies. If someone at one end of town sneezes,
someone at the other end yells “bless you,” and everyone else discusses your
sinuses. Although how those men managed
to get away with their antics with Barbara Jean for so long without being
discovered is beyond me. Well, obviously
someone knew…
The
funniest part was her son’s sex education.
Where do kids pick up the things they learn? And aren’t they great at saying the wrong
thing at just the right time? Ms.
Toussaint captures that perfectly. I’m
sure every parent will identify.
Definitely a must read. Add this
one to your TBR list.

You’ll
notice I always include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors usually receive 40% of
the book price from the publisher.
Editors and cover artists usually receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes &
Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the author,
editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left. So, if a book costs $5.99 at E-Book
Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author will receive about $2.40. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author
will receive about $0.83.
Downloading
the file from your computer to your Kindle is as easy as transferring any file
from your computer to a USB flash drive.
Plug the USB end of your chord into a USB port on your computer and
simply move the file from your “Downloads” box to your Kindle/Documents/Books
directory. I actually download my books
using “Save As” to a “Books” file I created on my computer that’s sorted by my
publisher, friends, and books “to review,” and then transfer them to my Kindle
from there. That way, if there’s a
glitch with my Kindle, the books are on my computer. Your author will be happy you did when he/she
sees his/her royalty statement.
