Chicago’s Doll Devine, wisecracking country singer, lives with heartache, dreams, and a baggage-filled past, when murder occurs on her doorstep and brings her past front and center.

Rader-Day fills this book with Chicago reallity and childhood dreams. Doll is compelling, and the other cast are recognizable, with hidden depths. There are twists and surprises, not all good, but not all bad. And there are dogs, two cuties.

Wholly original, filled with sass, this may be Rader-Day’s best book yet. ⁦

Highly recommended.
