Hotty Toddy: A Mary Ellen Boyd Mystery

Journalist Mary Ellen Boyd can finally say she is content with her life. At the age of thirty-four, she has finally gotten over her sorry ex-husband Jimmy Joe Johnson and she can now concentrate on her job as a reporter with the local Oxford, Mississippi newspaper, and a close relationship with her widower father. There is just one thing she's concerned about: her father's interest in the married Geraldine Hardin, the head football coach's secretary, and the enemy of every woman in Oxford and friend to every man in town. But when Geraldine's dead body turned up in Coach Little's office early on a Sunday morning, the worst happens: Mary Ellen's father is a suspect in her death. Mary Ellen starts digging into the facts of the case and soon finds out that Geraldine Hardin had more than one man wrapped around her finger-and more than one wife out for her blood. With the list of suspects growing, Mary Ellen follows her investigative instincts in an attempt to clear her father's name and bring the real killer to justice. The first in a series of mysteries featuring Mary Ellen Boyd, Hotty Toddy takes you on a rollicking ride through a small Southern town where anything can happen and often does!
