Foxy Statehood Hens (Paula's Latest)

The RAUCOUS BIRD AND A FELONY TRYST

On the very day Oklahoma won statehood, Donnie Summersdale,  promised to find the fiend that could hurt so good a woman as Miz Myrtle Harrington, or so noble a beast as Old Red Hound. The plucky teenager takes to heart Sheriff Bob Freedom Smith’s advice, “Don’t  shut the gate until all the horses are in,” as she pans for gold among suspects:  Sister Sally Sees, fortune teller come lately from the circus; Mr. John Bowden, a propertied man looking for more; or Deputy Harris Suggs, known as a fervent admirer of both Miz Myrtle and her merchandise. Donnie’s investigation is made more difficult when she is forced to bunk with Banker Perkins while trying to conceal her female identity, a burden of devilish proportions

Chick-Lit for Foxy Hens;  Paula's first book writing under the name of Paula Jean Watkins.
