Industry Reviews "Harris's gossipy, just-between-us-girls style is as ingratiating as ever..." Hellman
"She is petit and sugar-sweet, yet coated with steel as only a Southern woman can be. However, par time librarian Aurora Teagarde lands into situations that would turn a black belt martial arts expert blanching from fear and horror. Roe's latest adventure begins when she and her bodyguard, the beautiful Angel Youngblood, are out sunning themselves. A small plane buzzes their property before dropping out a body that splatters on the lawn. The police, who arrive to scrape the body up, are dismayed to learn that the victim is one of their own, Detective Sergeant Jack Burns. This is the onset of the bizarre and harmful happenings occurring to people connected to Roe. Angel's spouse is found unconscious on Roe's property. An employee, who recently had a public altercation with Roe, is mugged. Roe's ex-lover, who still desires her, is stabbed while attending a company dinner hosted by Roe's husband. All these events seem to be linked to Roe, who believes someone is watching her. She feels her stalker is waiting for the right moment to make her his next target. 'Dead Over Heels' is a delightful book that is a thrilling and colorful American cozy. Adding elements of a who-done-it enriches the brilliant story line. Charming secondary characters and homey sub-plots abound; thereby, making this and the series preceding mysteries worth reading." Menuhin
