Product Description
In the small town of Tyra, Sheriff Nail's life is usually pretty simple: enjoying conversation, home-cooked food at the diner, and training his new deputy, Bobby Joe. But when a local woman phones him frantically one day with shocking and unimaginable news, his small town world is about to be turned upside down.

Looking for a little rest and relaxation at the Butterfly Spa, little does Rowena Grisby expect to find her Swedish masseuse the victim of a grisly murder. Enlisting the help of her cousin, Dolly, for moral support, the two ladies volunteer to help Sheriff Nail find the killer. When the suspect list is expanded to include everyone from a prominent politician's wife to a religious fanatic to an aging movie star, the Butterfly Spa is brimming with fascinating personalities, each containing a piece of the puzzle.

Coauthors Linda Reynolds and Joy Goodale invite you on their riveting murder mystery tour of small-town America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rowena and Dolly Do Know How to Have Fun, December 28, 2007
By Story Circle Book Reviews (www.storycirclebookreviews.org) - See all my reviews
Who says that sixtyish women can't have fun? Or adventure? Certainly cousins Rowena and Dolly manage to when they are not busy keeping the Hadley Bed and Breakfast, Rowena's former family home in the small central Texas town of Hadley.

In this fun first mystery written by real-life sisters Linda Reynolds and Joy Goodale, Rowena has decided that a week at the nearby Butterfly Spa is the very ticket to prepare her for the State Seniors Ladies Golf Tournament. When she heads for a massage, she finds a murdered masseuse instead.

It's no surprise that when Sheriff Nail hauls her in as the main suspect she makes her one call to Dolly. ("Come now!")

The romp is on. Women of all ages, from young ingénue to aging diva, all in purple leotards, might very well be the culprit(s). The cousins are determined to help (or hinder) the sheriff. It's not long until there's a certain something else going on between the sheriff and Dolly.

The mystery is solved and all is so well with the world that the good sheriff moves into the Hadley Bread and Breakfast. My suspicion is that the sheriff and the cousins will be sharing more adventures and affections.

I hope so. Rowena and Dolly do know how to have fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Butterflies Don't Sting, January 6, 2008
There's plenty of drama going on at The Butterfly Spa in the small town of Tyra. A Swedish masseuse, Hilda Almgren has been murdered and the two women owners of the Hadley Bed and Breakfast an hour away volunteer to help Sheriff Nail solve the crime. Incidentally,Sheriff Nail took up his current post in Tyra to get away from the fast pace of city life and the detective squad back in Houston. The suspects are fascinatingly different in this suspenseful, witty and humorous tale filled with delectable surprises. You'll be kept guessing who committed the crime right up until the last moment.
