Sherman Review
LAID OUT AND CANDLE LIT is an enchanting tale of murder and deception teeming with endearing Texas characters. Tizzy Donovan is a captivating character and her relationship with Ranger Ridge Cooper, investigating the murder that occurs in the first chapter will keep the reader enthralled throughout. The novel takes you into a story that fairly crackles with originality and verve.
Lest you think this is just another run-of-the-mill grim murder mystery, this tale of rural Texas is laced with an undercurrent of rollicking humor that will lay you out and light your candle.”
