Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Guilt by Association
Book Author: Heather Day Gilbert
What do you like about this book:
"I have no real justification for my risky ventures, outside the fact that I'm wired to intervene when the people I care about are in trouble."
And there you have it, Tess Spencer herself; fiercely loyal despite a natural inclination for trouble, wearing a heart big enough to love wayward teens, abused children, and less than perfect parents. What she does not love is the fact that a dead body has turned up behind her mother's dilapidated old trailer, a corpse that exhibits every sign of a drug overdose. Her mother has only been out of prison for three months, how could this have happened?
Using every sleuthing skill that God has given her, and borrowing a few others, Tess extends her trip home; determined to look under every rock to uncover who is on a killing spree in Boone County, West Virginia. This cozy mountain mystery with its colorful main character will keep your nose securely planted in the book!
