Going to the Bad is the third and final Lilly Hawkins mystery. (Hold on while I cry a little. I'm really going to miss Lilly.) All three of the Lilly books are funny, but the humor seems more obvious in this book, and it's full of fabulous one-liners.

In this final book, Lilly is busy unraveling Uncle Bud's secrets while dealing with a dog with bladder control issues. I love a book that has both ups and downs just as you find in real life. McFarland has a great sense of humor and it comes through in her books, even while she deals with serious problems like, you know, people trying to kill you. While I'm sad that we've said goodbye to Lilly and her friends, I'll be looking forward to McFarland's next book.

I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Right from the start I had a hard time putting this book down. Lilly Hawkins is a reporter…no she is a Shooter. She is busy working at her TV station KJAY when a report comes in of a crime at her address. Can't even imagine what she must have been feeling at that point…panic. All she could think of what her boyfriend Rod. As she arrives she is hoping beyond hope that it isn't Rod…it wasn't it was her Uncle Bud.
As Uncle Bud is rushed to surgery, rather than spend all her time at the hospital waiting for news, Lilly has to have answers. She is about to go down paths no one wants her on, including Uncle Bud and Rod.
We learn some astonishing things, and the action doesn't stop until we are at the end of the book. Be ready to grip you seat, of course your book will fall, and there are some really great hysterical moments too. I loved Thing!! He did mark his territory!
By the end of the book you wonder if Lilly is going to make it, and if she does will she and Rob still be together? What will happen with Uncle Bud?
Don't miss this great suspenseful read, if you enjoy a good mystery this is for you!

I received this book from the Publisher Simon and Schuster, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )

"Going to the Bad," is a humorous mystery that is so visual it's as if the hilarious scenes were taking place on a TV screen and maybe Lucille Ball had returned in a younger version of herself, to be the protagonist.

The story begins with Lilly Hawkins at work. Her attention is distracted by a police frequency talking about a shooting. She recognizes the address as her own and later learns that her elderly Uncle Bud, was shot.

Zany things happen at the TV station. The afternoon anchor is nervous about his first show where an animal shelter is scheduled to bring in caged animals to show to the audience for possible adoption.

Lilly seems to have two reasons for searching for the person who shot her uncle. On one hand it would probably be a good story but on the other, she doesn't want to bring any 'dirt' to her uncle.

Lilly is a spunky character and goes to interview an elderly woman who lives in a mobile home. The door is locked because the woman has early dementia and her daughter doesn't want her to leave the mobile home. She tells Lilly that she can come in by the bathroom window. When Lilly does, the woman forgets who Lilly is and begins screaming. Lilly has to beat a hasty retreat back through the window.

I found the characters unique and interesting. There were a number of parts to the story and the author brought them together nicely at the conclusion. ( )
