A Parfait Murder

by Wendy Lyn Watson

Overview

The Lantana County Fair has come to town, and Tally Jones has scored a plum spot as a judge on one of the tasting panels. With her business warming up and her love life positively molten, Tally's life feels like three scoops in a two-scoop cone.

But when her cousin Bree spots her no-good ex strutting across the fairgrounds like he owns the place with a wad of cash in his pocket and a fancy woman on his arm, the situation gets sticky.

After a livid Bree files for over a decade of back child support, her ex's attorney ends up dead...with Bree standing over the body with a gun.

It is up to Tally to clear her cousin's name or watch everyone's happiness melt away.

Editorial Reviews

Hot August nights and the Lantana County Fair bring back Tallulah (Tally) Jones and her wacky small-town Texan ensemble (Scoop To Kill). Cousin Bree is accused of murdering smug attorney Kristen Ver Steeg in one of the carnival rides. Tally and Finn, her reporter boyfriend, are hot on the trail to figure out who wanted Kristen dead—aside from Bree. Assorted family secrets make for some bumps in the ride and keep us guessing as we go. VERDICT Laugh-out-loud humor and snappy dialog create a perfect confection for a summer afternoon. Watson's cozy series pokes fun but never too hard, making this an easy recommendation for those who enjoy family and friends ensemble mysteries. Think Avery Aames and Lila Dare for writers with similar small-business owners solving crimes on the side. And don't forget to try the to-die-for ice cream recipes.
