Book Review: A BAD HAIR DAY GETS WORSE
Summary: 4 Stars

Marilee is leaving behind her life as a court stenographer in California and traveling to New Eden, Montana to surprise her friend Lucy. Lucy relocated there from California over a year ago and has been living the good life in the beautiful hills of that state since then. The surprise is entirely on Marilee as she arrives at Lucy's house, only to find out that Lucy has been killed in a hunting accident. She gets this news from J.D. Rafferty -- the rough, tough cowboy who lives on the adjoining ranch.

As others in the town start to die mysteriously, Marilee begins to think that perhaps Lucy's accident was intentional. Marilee fights a lone battle as she tries to unravel Lucy's life before her death. She has so many questions to be answered and no one who is willing to answer them. The ensuing story is well thought out but perhaps a bit predictable. The sexual tension between Marilee and J.D. Rafferty is worth the price of the book alone. Since Hoag is such a talented author, she's able to carry it through with ease.

Hoag is one of my favorite authors in the mystery/thriller genre. However, I would categorize this book as romantic suspense and, as such, reads more like a Nora Roberts' book than the kind of Tami Hoag book to which I have become accustomed.
