This book is a charmer. Lily Morgan is infamous in Shivaree, Georgia. Five years ago, Daniel Walker, lawyer and best friend to Jason Morgan, helped him get a divorce from Lily. Shivaree is one of those towns that never forgets, never forgives, and never stops talking about other folk's business.
Lily is the town librarian, but no one uses the library because Lily is so infamous. Daniel Walker is back to match wits with Lily over the town brothel. Important businessmen own the brothel and want it reopened. Daniel has political ambitions and thinks it will be no problem to convince the judge. However, the judge, a former habitue' of the brothel, sidesteps the issue (now that he's married). He calls for an election (but women still can't vote). This is when bedlam takes place.
It is all very funny until someone is killed just before the election. Lily and Daniel join forces to discover the real culprit because the sheriff has nabbed the wrong man. He's a mentally-handicapped man who works for Lily and she knows he could not have killed. I really enjoyed this story.
