A Layla Virtue Mystery Gimme Shelter, (Paperback)

<b>This whip-smart, witty series packs an emotional punch within an engaging mystery as Layla Virtue, a 30-something recovering alcoholic and former cop-turned-party musician, finds a sideline in solving murders from her new home in a Potomac County trailer park...<br>An unforgettable mystery brimming with hilarity and heart for readers of Margot Douaihy, Jane Pek, and Darynda Jones.</b> <p>As the song says, you can't always get what you want. Maybe that's why, instead of fulfilling her youthful dream of being a rock star, Layla Virtue is living in a trailer park while playing third-rate gigs, including a stint at a &amp;#700;70s ABBA brunch. Given everything else she's been through lately, she's not complaining (much) about satin ruffles and go-go boots. She has a squad of supportive new BFFs, and her famous rocker dad's recent diagnosis has brought them even closer--sharing the trailer park's lake house, which he's had remodeled in typically over-the-top style. </p><p>Layla's dad loves his new community and the feeling seems mutual. So, why is one of them blackmailing him? It's a mystery almost as baffling as the assignment Layla receives from her former commissioner: Look into the brutal murder of a mild-mannered schoolteacher. Archie Wilkins was bludgeoned with a candelabra, shot up with drugs, and stuffed into a church confessional. Not the expected outcome for a guy reputed to be the world's nicest. </p><p>Perhaps Archie had secrets. Perhaps everyone does, including Layla's one-time cop colleagues. She's been blaming herself for a deadly ambush that destroyed her career and her peace of mind, but as her new friends help Layla regain her memories, a different picture emerges, and it's one that forces her to question so much that she's taken as truth . . .</p>
