About this item
Lexy Campbell fell in love and left her native Scotland for a golden life in California -- hitched to a hunk, building her marriage counseling practice, living the dream. Six months later she's divorced, broke, and headed home. There's just one last thing. Lexy's only client -- sweet little old Mrs. Bombarro -- is in jail for murdering her husband with a fireworks rocket. Lexy knows the cops have got it wrong; all she needs is a few days to prove it and somewhere cheap to sleep at night. But checking into the Last Ditch Motel leads Lexy to a whole new cast of characters with troubles of their own. Praise for Catriona McPherson: "McPherson writes with the firm but delicate touch of a spider testing the strength of its web." -- The New York Times Book Review "Catriona McPherson hooks you with her eccentric amateur sleuth, reinvigorating the exhausted conventions of the cozy-style mystery." -- NPR
