Review:
"A ray of sunshine cloaked in a mystery. Orr is one to watch--the best humorous mystery writer around, with a voice all her own."
-- Laura McHugh, internationally bestselling author of The Weight of Blood and Arrowood "Here comes Riley Ellison, the journalist-slash-hero we need right now. She solves murders! She writes obits! I loved this fresh page-turner--it's fun, funny, and moves like lightning. Jill Orr has created a complex plot and complex contemporary characters that make murder quite delightful. Can't wait for the next in the series."
-- Lian Dolan, Satellite Sister and author of the bestselling novels Helen of Pasadena and Elizabeth the First Wife "Deft at imbuing her pop-off-the-page characters with both humor and heart, Jill Orr also spins a gem of a twisty mystery that will leave readers breathless as they chase a huge (and dangerous) headline with Tuttle Corner's sassy, scrappy new star reporter, Riley Ellison. Utterly delightful--don't miss this one, y'all!"
-- LynDee Walker, Agatha Award-nominated author of Lethal Lifestyles and Front Page Fatality
