A call from Stella Hardesty's little sister brings the news that
Stella's step-nephew, Chip, has been threatened with serious bodily
harm if he doesn't settle his unpaid gambling debts. Stella makes
the drive to Chip's home in Wisconsin, only to walk in on a
wee-hours dismemberment. Chip and his Russian girlfriend, Natalya,
insist the man was left, already dead, on their porch. Suspicious
but compelled to help family, Stella tracks down other suspects,
including the deceased's business partner, a purveyor of
black-market Botox, and a jilted violist. Matters are complicated
by the unexpected arrival of BJ Broderson, who has picked the worst
possible time to pursue his amorous intentions toward Stella.
Meanwhile, thoughts of Sheriff "Goat" Jones make Stella blush and
wonder where, and with whom, she will spend her fifty-first
birthday.
"A Bad Day for Mercy "is a terrific addition to this incredibly
original and entertaining series. For those who haven't yet
discovered the wonder of Sophie Littlefield, it's high time to join
the fun
