Detective Bradley Pitt--aka \"Stinky Pitt\"--is another story. In the past, the dull-witted detective has mistakenly accused members of Sam's family for crimes they didn't commit. Now, it's his turn: when Cloverton turns up dead, he's arrested. With his predilection for polyester, Pitt has been wanted by the fashion police for years, but Nana Jo knows her former elementary school math student would never commit murder--it doesn't add up. Somebody's framed the flatfoot to take a fall, and Sam and Nana Jo must step in to restore the reputation and good name of Detective Pitt. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eTHE PLOT IS MURDER\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A promising debut with a satisfying conclusion.\" \u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Cozy mystery readers and historical novel aficionados will adore this warm-hearted, cleverly plotted new series.\" \u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eKings River Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kensington Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496728975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"V.
