Description:
Stella Hardesty dispatched her abusive husband with a wrench shortly before her fiftieth birthday. A few years later, she’s so busy delivering home-style justice, helping other women deal with their own abusive husbands and boyfriends, that she’s barely got time to run her sewing shop. Since Stella works outside of the law, she’s free to do whatever it takes to be convincing—as long as she keeps her distance from the handsome devil of a local sheriff, Goat Jones.
When young mother Chrissy Shaw asks Stella for help with her no-good, husband Roy Dean, it looks like just another standard job. But then Chrissy’s two-year-old son is taken, and Stella finds herself up against a much more formidable enemy.
This is a mostly humorous, sometimes bittersweet story of a lady who, after killing her own abusive husband, starts to step in and deal with other abusive men in a way that the law can't.
I got the feeling while reading it that it was an imitation of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, only not quite as good. It's not a bad read, but it wasn't that great either. It's a quick, fun read; but I'll probably pass on the follow up book that's just been published.
