Flamingo Fatale by Jimmie Ruth Evans, 445 pages


Wanda Nell Culpepper is a divorced, trailer-living waitress trying to raise her two daughters and grandson. When her ex-husband stumbles back into their lives, she wastes no time in telling the deadbeat dad to beat it. Unfortunately, the very next morning she stumbles across his dead body, skewered with one of her pink flamingo lawn ornaments. Now Wanda must work to prove her innocence before she ends up behind bars or worse.
This was the first murder mystery I'd ever read with a flamingo lawn ornament as the murder weapon. I must say, the world needs more trailer park detectives. This was a lot of fun, but at times it reminded me way too much of people I grew up with.
