A Virtuous Woman: Texas political suspense
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
Ruthie Brewster was on a mission to make sure every abused woman in Plains City, Texas, has a safe place to go.
Until someone killed her.
Plains City Gazette news editor Katy Williams admired Ruthie a lot. She's appalled by other reactions: The police seem less than committed to finding her killer. A local minister thinks what she was doing was of the devil and she got what was due her. Even her own brother seems unmoved by her death.
Then someone kills another woman on the board of the Women's Shelter. It looks like the killer has a list. And Katy's public support for the Shelter just added her to the list.
Book 2 in the mystery series A Newspaper in Texas. It's the 1980s — where being called a little lady is considered affection not insult.

A former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.
L.J. Breedlove writes about religion and politics. About race and gender. She believes in the journalism axiom: Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. To which the labor organizer Mother Jones was supposed to have added: And in general raise hell.
That works.
