HTML:<p><b>A New York City literary agent returns to her Indiana hometown for a funeral only to get pulled into a murder investigation in this series opener.</b></p> <p>Allie Cobb left home for the literary circles of Manhattan to make her name out from under the shadow of her legendary father. Now his death brings her and her rescue cat Ursula back to the southern Indiana town of Rushing Creek, population: 3,216. But a tragic new chapter hits the presses when the body of her father's hard-drinking, #1 bestselling client is found under the historic town bridge. The local police suspect foul play, and their prime candidate for murder is the author's daughter—Allie's longtime friend.</p> <p>Determined to clear her bestie, Allie goes into fact-checking amateur detective mode while trying to ignore the usual rumormongers. Those with means, motive, and opportunity include the vic's ex-wife, his rejected girlfriend, the mayor, and a rival agent trying to mooch clients. With a rugged genealogist distracting her and the imminent Fall Festival about to send tourists descending on their once-peaceful hamlet, Allie needs to stay alive long enough to get a read on a killer ready to close the book on a new victim: <i>Allie</i> . . .</p> <p><b>Praise for <i>A Literal Mess</i>:</b></p> <p><b>"A lovely, entertaining read. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series already." —Rhoda Baxter, author of <i>Snowed In</i></b></p>. Media Type: eBook.
