A Bad Day for Scandal

A Bad Day for Scandal/Sophie Littlefield 290 pgs.

A great antidote for War and Peace although still loaded with philosophy and relationships...instead of romance, there is more lust here. Stella Hardesty is my kind of woman...confident, strong, with a life calling for justice and what is right. Stella continues her adventures in this third book by Littlefield...each of which keeps getting better. In this book Stella and her assistant Chrissy (who is very satisfyingly becoming a real computer nerd) are dealing with one dead body and a couple of missing people and a former Prosper resident isn't missed by most of the current residents. Stella's relationship with the Sheriff continues to heat up little by little and another love interest presents himself. The dialog and the situations in this book are quite funny. A short conversation between Stella and Chrissy goes like this:
"Hey Stella, how's a gun better than a man?"
Stella smiled, She could think of a few ways - depending on the man. And the gun. "How?"
"If you admire a friend's gun, and tell her so, she'll probably let you try it out a few times."
