“Easy Girl” is A.R. Potts’ amazing debut murder mystery.
Part time fashion writer and part time sleuth Peg Maholtra-Kristensen heads down to the Southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina when a family acquaintance is accused of roasting a young woman in a tanning bed.
Equipped only with her dogged curiosity, Peg MK investigates the case in the small town of Greybeard, has an affair with a local police office officer, befriends the prime suspect, offends both the town alderman and the pastor, and ingratiates herself with the delinquents who sell drugs at the local Pizza Hut.
Her investigation leads to further death, harassment, and finally reveals the dark secrets that have scarred the lives of those involved. “Easy Girl” is a fast-paced, funny book, with an idiosyncratic eye for detail and character.
The protagonist solves the murder as she tries to protect those involved and her own vulnerable heart.
Easy Girl.
