From the national bestselling author of "Whistling in the Dark" comes another funny, poignant, unforgettable story. The summer Gibby McGraw catches her big break, the cicadas are humming, and itas so warm even the frogs are sweating. Brain damaged after a tragic car accident that took both her parents, Gibby is now NQR (Not Quite Right), a real challenge for a fledgling newspaper reporter. Especially when she stumbles upon the dead body of the next governor of Kentucky, Buster Malloy. Armed with her trusty blue spiral note-book, Gibby figures that solving the murder might be her best chance to prove to everyone that she can become Quite Right again. But she gets more than she bargained for when she uncovers a world of corruption, racism, and family secrets in small town Cray Ridge. Lucky for her, sheas also about to discover that some things are far more important than all the brains in the world, and that miracles occur in the most unexpected moments.
I really like Lesley Kagen — she‘s one of my favorite lesser-known authors. I‘m still making my way through her books. And this one was decent, though probably my least favorite of the ones I‘ve read so far.
