January Thaw

¿ Jess Lourey named to Book Riot's "10 Funny Mystery Authors Like Janet Evanovich" list! The Ice Man Succumbeth Private-eye-in-training Mira James loves Minnesota's crisp January days, as long as she can spend them in the arms of hunky Johnny Leeson. But when Mrs. Berns' erratic Zamboni driving uncovers an icebound dead man, Mira's cold-weather tranquility threatens to melt away. With a frozen corpse in the lake and a freak January thaw descending on town, neither Johnny nor generous portions of high-octane comfort food are enough to ease Mira's frazzled nerves. If Mira can't figure out who's behind the murder, the next time she feels sub-zero temperatures, it may be because she's sporting a toe tag in the town morgue. "Those looking for an engaging, multigenerational small-town mystery that tackles contemporary issues can't miss with this entry."¿Library Journal "Good, high-calorie fun." ¿Mystery Scene
