Description

Cadet journalist Stacey McCallaghan is struggling to find anything newsworthy to report on in the small country town of Toomey. Front page stories consist of the price of cattle and lawn bowls results, and Stacey spends more time laying out the crossword than covering actual news. Until the first dead body turns up. While the local police fumble the investigation, ambitious Stacey is just pleased to have something other than cattle sales to write about. Plus, she now has an excuse to spend more time with the arrogantly attractive Detective Scott Fitzgerald. But when Stacey shows up at one crime scene too many, she moves to the top of the most wanted list. Stacey must uncover the truth before anyone else gets hurt - or the police put her behind bars. Lighthearted and laugh-out-loud funny, this charming novel will have readers falling in love with the surprisingly deadly town of Toomey.
