Overview

Twenty-two-year-old Imogene Duckworthy has been waiting tables at Huey's Hash in tiny Saltlick, TX, itching to jump out of her rut and become a detective. When Uncle Huey is found murdered in his own diner, a half-frozen package of mesquite-smoked sausage stuffed down his throat, Immy, an unwed mother who has always longed to be a PI, gets her chance to solve a real crime.

Immy's retired librarian mother, Hortense, who always blamed Huey for her husband's death, is hauled in for the crime. Unclear of the exact duties of a PI, Immy starts a fire in the bathroom wastebasket to bust Mother out of jail. On the run from the law with her mother and her toddler daughter, Nancy Drew Duckworthy, Immy wonders--now what? Time to consult her almost new copy of The Moron's Compleat PI Guidebook. Her attempts to clear her mother's name, then her own, lead to foiling a bank heist, exposing a meth lab, and getting in deeper than is wise with Baxter Killroy, a handsome but shifty cowboy who may have been involved in her father's death several years ago.

    Highly Recommend

    CHOKE is a fanstastic first in a series by Kaye George. Meet Imogene "Immy" Duckworthy, 22-year old mother of Drew, daughter of Hortense Duckworthy, and an aspiring PI. When Immy's Uncle Huey is found murdered and her mother, Hortense is taken in for questioning, Immy puts her PI skills in motion leading to an adventure that will have you laughing and turning the pages to cheer her on. Immy is a clever character that grows with the story and I am looking forward to reading the next one in the Immogene Duchworthy Mystery series. FTC Full Disclosure: I purchased this book for myself and chose it for review.
