- Synopsis
- [From the back cover:] "She's got Las Vegas legs but she's had it with life in the fast lane. She's Amanda Hazard--savvy CPA and amateur sleuth--and now she's exposed to a dark cloud of danger when murder storms through the Oklahoma boondocks! A dirty Way to die Amanda is fit to be tied. Torrential rains have turned the town of Vamoose into the mud capital of Oklahoma, and County Commissioner Brown has washed his hands of the whole dirty mess. But after sludging her way to his remote farm, Amanda discovers it's too late to wring his neck. Brown's already dead--lying face down next to his pick-up truck. The cause of death? Apparently--ironically--he drowned in the mud. Dead In The Mud But Amanda, along with her fiancée, Chief of Police Nick Thorn, is convinced--poetic justice notwithstanding--that it's a case of cold-blooded murder. Especially considering Brown's colorful roster of enemies, including one mud-slinging political rival and a particularly vindictive ex-wife. But as Amanda moves closer to the truth, she finds herself sinking deeper into a seething morass of corruption and political skullduggery. Suddenly, Amanda's up to her neck in mortal danger. Suddenly, she's become the easy target for a vengeful killer. ..." Look for all of the amusing, well plotted mysteries in this series about a city girl who chooses the small town life in Vamoose where the social centers are the beauty parlor and cafe and her nearest neighbors are chickens, cows, horses, and sheep. Amanda always has an uphill battle convincing the handsome town sheriff that the dead people she finds on her rounds as a CPA were victims of murder, not accidents. #1 Dead in the Water, #2 Dead in the Cellar, #3 Dead in the Melon Patch, #4 Dead in the Dirt, followed by #6 Dead in the Driver's Seat and #7 Dead in the Hay.
