Buck's books:Parker Bell is a wise-cracking, hard-hitting southern woman with a wicked sense of humor and a tainted view of her southern family and one-time classmates. With a tongue-in-cheek voice that's a little reminiscent of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, Buck holds nothing back as she crafts a tale of murder and mayhem in a small city that's never experienced such a spree of good old boy killings in its entire history. Dose is the first novel by this author and there are a few rough spots, but don't let that put you off! I suspect that every book in this series will be funnier and heavier hitting than the one before. Parker is such a hoot, I actually miss her sassy self. Looking forward to the next book!~ NL Quatrano, authorI loved this book. The antics of all the characters, who are larger than life in many cases, made me laugh out loud on several occasions. I thoroughly enjoyed the synopsis of typical 'small town' mentality woven into a much bigger plot. Fast moving and funny. More please, Sharon E Buck!~ Julie Z., AustraliaThis book is an excellent read! It's typical small town life in full color. The characters were humorous and the plot was fast moving and entertaining. When reading, I could relate many of the characters to someone typical in my hometown. This was a wonderfully written novel. It left me wanting to read another installment of Parker Bell's life.~ Rhonda Odom
