When Prosper homegirl turned big-city businesswoman Priss Porter
returns to town with a body in her trunk, she calls Stella Hardesty
to dispose of it. Her uppity ways don't convince Stella to take the
job, and Priss attempts to blackmail her with a snapshot of Stella
doing what she does best: curing woman-beaters by the use of
force.
Stella refuses to cooperate and goes home, only to hear later
that Priss and her brother, Liman, have gone missing after calling
in a disturbance. Stella is implicated when Sheriff "Goat" Jones
discovers the scarf she left behind at the house. He warns her to
stay local but Stella and her partner, Chrissy Shaw, go looking for
Priss in Kansas City, where they discover that she runs an unusual
business. When Priss herself--along with two other bodies--turns up
in a pond belonging to one of Stella's ex-clients, Stella must
investigate a host of suspects, including a crooked but libidinous
female judge, a coterie of jealous male escorts, and a Marxist
ex-professor.
"A Bad Day for Scandal "is the third in Sophie Littlefield's
award-winning, critically acclaimed series. Written with passion,
humor, and guts, this is a mystery to be savored.
