by Joanna Campbell Slan (Author)
Book #3 in a delightful new series.
Set in 1986, Joanna Campbell Slan's latest cozy mystery-Tuesday Trash and Trouble--features a down-on-her-luck divorcée whose passion for solving crimes lands her in the arms of a secretive cowboy--and the cross-hairs of a vengeful killer. The year is 1986, the place is...pitiful. It's Decatur, Illinois, known for high unemployment, striking unions, the pervasive stink of soybean processing, and seven railroad crossings at one intersection. A wrong turn along life's marital highway has left Catherine "Cragan" Collins stuck in Decatur. With a mountain of post-divorce bills to pay, Cragan takes a job selling high-priced newspaper advertising. If she's lucky, her commissions will cover the cost of her grandmother's stay in a nearby retirement home. After the divorce, Cragan swears off men, but she's a sucker for a guy in a nice suit. She falls hard for a man who publicly snubs her. On the rebound, she accepts an invitation from Ross Gentry, a quiet hunk who favors pearl snaps and cowboy boots. Cragan reasons that her heart is safe, because she and Ross come from two different worlds. But one night in his arms might be enough to prove her wrong. Without warning, everything blows up in Cragan's face. Her boss threatens to take away her accounts, a friend's little sister is kidnapped, and an overnight guest is shot. Cragan's best friend, Pru, is accused of attempted murder. After all, Pru's gun was used in the crime. Cragan calls an emergency meeting of the Friday Night Mystery Club. These mystery-loving career women are a group of smart cookies. Can their combined talents prove that Pru is innocent? And will they find an answer in time to save Cragan from the wrath of a vengeful shooter? It takes a club to solve a mystery!
