“The author stuffs each sentence like a sausage, serving bite after bite of clever quips and saucy scrutiny.” —Kirkus Reviews
Love. Honor. Perish.
When a beloved Wisconsin brewmaster drops dead hours after exchanging wedding vows with an internet-famous foodstagrammer, Jaycee Grayson finds herself at the center of an artisanal meat stick mystery built on some especially spicy secrets.
A former entertainment executive, Jaycee has already survived the wreckage of #MeToo Hollywood for a shaky reboot in the somewhat welcoming arms of Littleburgh, Wisconsin. But a snap decision to protect the nineteen-year-old Mennonite bride turns Jaycee from an outsider with a spotty record into a prime accomplice, criminal mastermind—and amateur sleuth.
During a tense election weekend, a four-day hunt for a missing corpse devolves into a dizzying twirl through the legal system, where Jaycee leans on a disgraced police chief who values his clean hands over their steamy history. A doting wheelchair-waltz champion quietly arranges a lawyer, but standing up for Jaycee could cost him a seat in Congress. She must decide whether digging for the truth will save her own skin while exposing a confused young widow—even while the small-town jury pool renders its verdict before the facts become inconvenient.
Wickedly funny, sharply observant, and unafraid of women behaving badly, The Girlfriend Guide to Negligent Homicide is a darkly comic story about law, love, and loyalty to the truth in a time when we have so many delicious choices on the menu.
