Lori Andrews: August 2010 Archives

Armed with a JD and PhD in political science, Wendy Watson might have chosen to give Scott Turow and John Grisham a run for their money.  Instead, Wendy chose to follow a different one of her passions:  ice cream.  September 7 marks the release of the second in her series of mysteries involving Tally Jones, proprietor of Dalliance, Texas's ice cream parlor, Remember the A-la-mode.  In the first Tally book, I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM (Signet, 2009), Tally swallows her pride and agrees to provide ice cream for her ex-husband's company luau.  Her ex's arm-candy girlfriend is murdered and Tally becomes the prime suspect. 

In the new book, SCOOP TO KILL (Signet, 2010) Tally's niece Alice, who is a student at the local college, stumbles over the body of a murdered graduate student.  When Alice's favorite teacher becomes the prime suspect, Tally helps Alice follow the evidence to solve the crime.  A third book, tentatively entitled A PARFAIT MURDER, is due out in June of 2011.
