Date Read: March 2014
Genre: Cozy Mystery, Mystery
More Information:It’s election time in Savannah, Georgia, and Judge Guillotine Gloria—aka Reagan Summerside’s mom—is neck and neck in the polls with Kip "Scummy” Seymour. But the already dirty campaign is about to get downright filthy—with one candidate getting buried six feet under….
With her strong opinions and knack for getting into trouble, Reagan is not an ideal volunteer for her mother’s alderman campaign.

But when her mother’s opponent, Kip, is found poisoned and her mother is pegged as a suspect, Reagan nominates herself as lead murder investigator.
Reagan is intent on finding Kip’s killer and clearing her mother’s good name, but she soon finds herself on the bad side of Kip’s enemies-turned-suspects. This time, no amount of costumes and makeup can keep her inconspicuous and out of danger. Because the closer Reagan gets to the truth, the hotter things get….

Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it.
I didn’t know about this series, but it sounds really good. Another one that goes to my TBR.
I do like this new system 🙂
I will be doing a lot more of these types of reviews because I am really in a rut with reviews.
It’s been a while since I read a cozy book but I have many at home and I love them. I need to go back to the genre!
They are my go-to escape reads when I get in a genre rut!
