A Good Day's Read

All Lilly is trying to do is her job and but instead her life is threatened and she is running from the law. As she tries to solve the murder and clear her name, she gets help from an unlikely source. This fast-paced, action-filled and humorous story keeps you turning the pages quickly. A great debut novel by the author.

Loved this book!

This was such a fun read and a real page-turner. I am impressed that this is the author's first novel. I loved all the characters from Lilly to her Uncle Bud. There is suspense and humor that keeps you intrigued. I hope this is the beginning of a long series of Lilly Hawkins books. Sharlene Moore

Fun and Entertaining!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Very entertaining with great bits of humor. It's always neat to learn something new and the detailed exposure to life in a newsroom of smaller city like Bakersfield was great. The jacket says the author also worked at CNN so I imagine it includes some experience from working with CNN's staff as well. All I can say is I got sucked into the story and stayed up late to finish "just one more chapter". I'm very much looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

a bad day's work

not your everyday murder mystery. It feel like areal slice of life. I'm looking for the next book in the series

A Bad Day's Work

This was a fun read. Since it was touted as similar to Janet Evanovich, I was expecting a quirky heroine and some humor and I was not disappointed at all. In fact, I like Lilly Hawkins better. And her Uncle Bud deserves a book of his own. He's fantastically funny. This book's pleasant surprise (except that it kept me up too late reading) was that it is a page-turner. Lilly gets herself into and out of some very sticky jams and it was hard to put it down till she finally solved the mystery. McFarland has created a series with twists, turns, action, suspense, humor and a flawed but endearing heroine that you can't help but cheer for. I will definately be reading the second Lilly Hawkins mystery.
