When an old high school acquaintance shows up -- Luann Pell -- she acts as if she and Lucy were best friends, but they didn't even run in the same circles. After some backhanded compliments, Lucy can't wait to see the end of her. But when Luann starts crying and tells her a sob story, Lucy's good heart melts and she offers her a temporary two-week job to take over for Betsy, much to the dismay of Tricia and Hannah. But the deed's been done, and all they can do is make the best of it.
When someone turns up dead, Luann is the main suspect as she was seen yelling at the person shortly before. She begs Lucy to believe she didn't do it, and Lucy thinks she just might be innocent. Against the wishes of her Deputy boyfriend, Taylor, she sets about trying to find a killer. The only problem is that she might not find them or time, or they just might find her first...
I have read all of the books in this series and enjoyed them one after the other. Lucy is extremely likeable, although I do wish she'd develop a bit more of a backbone. Saying no doesn't make you mean, any more than saying yes makes you nice. It's a matter of circumstance. However, I do enjoy her kindness toward others, and the fact that she wants the best for everyone and always makes time for her family and friends. Now if Taylor would just get off his duff...(read the book and you'll know what I mean).
There is plenty of action going on, and Lucy has her work cut out for her, as it seems there isn't anyone who really likes Luann. But does that alone make her guilty? Lucy isn't sure. Still, she continues searching for clues. When she has her 'aha' moment, we are right there with her as she figures everything out. The climaxes are always the best of these books, as we wonder how Lucy is going to put everything together and get out of trouble. It makes the book worth reading, and this one is no different. Recommended.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher but this in no way influenced my review. ( )
