Description

"Janet Evanovich fans have a new reason to celebrate!" ―Gemma Halliday, best-selling author of Mayhem in High Heels

The not-so-proud owner of a waitressing career and a cheating boyfriend, cosmopolitan Mira James jumps at the chance for a fresh start in rural Battle Lake. When she almost immediately lands a librarian job followed by getting asked out by a sexy small-town hunk, she wonders if she's finally made a good life decision.

Until the hunk turns up dead between the library's reference stacks.

Anxious to learn more about the man who briefly stole her heart, Mira delves headfirst into the mysteries of Battle Lake. The first thing she discovers is that she'd chosen the wrong guy all along. The second? That unknown dangers are concealed under the polite exterior of this quirky town, and revenge is a tator tot hotdish best served cold.

"What a romp this is! I found myself laughing out loud..."―Crimespree Magazine

"Mira is the strength of the book. She has a unique voice, full of irreverent humor...I couldn't help rooting for [her]." ―All about Romance
