November Hunt

fullDescription

November in Battle Lake, Minnesota, is cold enough to freeze the balls off a pool table. lt's also deer hunting season. When Tom Kicker is killed in a hunting accident, Mira James is hired to investigate—a job that brings her closer to a P.I. license. Braving subzero temps and shrieking blizzards, Mira uncovers a decades-old scandal that has never quite died, unlike the cold stiffs who are piling up in the town morgue. As she pieces together the clues, Mira discovers that Battle Lake's good-old boys have been up to some bad business. But with threats and enemies around every icy corner, she may not live long enough to expose the truth.

Praise:

"It's not easy to make people laugh while they're on the edge of their seats, but Lourey pulls it off, while her vivid descriptions of a brutal Minnesota winter will make readers shiver in the seventh book in her very clever Murder-of-the-Month series."—Booklist, (starred review)

"A good story told well, with solid writing."—Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine

"Lourey’s seventh cozy featuring PI wannabe Mira James successfully combines humor, an intriguing mystery, and quirky smalltown characters."—Publishers Weekly

"Lourey has successfully created an independent, relatable heroine in Mira James. Mira’s wit and fearlessness enable her to overcome the many challenges she faces as she tries to unravel the murder."—Crimespree Magazine

"Lourey has a knack for wholesome sexual innuendo, and she gets plenty of mileage out of Minnesota. This light novel keeps the reader engaged, like one of those sweet chewy Nut Goodies that Mira is addicted to."—Hallie Ephron, The Boston Globe

"Clever, quirky and completely original! This taut and compelling mystery—with a twist on every page-is edgy, entertaining, and irresistible."—Hank Phillippi Ryan, Anthony, Agatha and Macavity Award-winning author

"In November Hunt Jess Lourey skillfully navigates her way along the razor's edge of the traditional mystery. With a masterful mix of mayhem and mirth, she shows us there's more to small town Minnesota than frozen lakes and fish fries. A fun read all the way through."—Reed Farrel Coleman, three-time Shamus Award-winning author of Hurt Machine

     Set in Battle Lake, Minn., Lourey’s seventh cozy featuring PI wannabe Mira James (after 2011’s October Fest) successfully combines humor, an intriguing mystery, and quirky smalltown characters. Mira, who supports herself by work at the local library and as a food columnist for the community newspaper, welcomes the chance to investigate the death of Tom Kicker, a prominent businessman who was shot in a hunting accident, in return for a significant fee and much needed experience. Mira’s sleuthing is the epitome of amateurish, but Lourey manages to make her awkward efforts endearing rather than embarrassing. The author also deftly presents a dark possible motive for Tom’s death without introducing a jarring note. Providing support and comic relief is Peggy McMillian, whose inspirational aphorisms (“Don’t give the Devil a ride and expect him to wear his seatbelt”) have been collected in a book titled A Penance for Your Thoughts. Agent: Victoria Skurnick, Levine Greenberg Literary Agency.

     Starred review from February 1, 2012
     Mira Jameslibrarian, columnist, and almost-licensed private investigator for the small town of Battle Lake, Minnesotafaces one of her most puzzling mysteries when two longtime friends go deer hunting and only one comes back alive. Not even the fact that it's cold enough to freeze the smile off a clown stands in the way of Mira's investigation. Unfortunately, the more Mira unearths, the closer she gets to being the next victim. A cast of delightfully zany characters, some familiar from earlier books in the series, enhances the story: Mira's best friend, Mrs. Berns, the feisty, octogenarian cougar; Kennie, the gaudily dressed mayor, who sells vitamins that make Mira's hair thicker but give her methane-strength breath; and Peggy, the popular author of religious aphorism books, who hires Mira to help her find her lost mojo. It's not easy to make people laugh while they're on the edge of their seats, but Lourey pulls it off, while her vivid descriptions of a brutal Minnesota winter will make readers shiver in the seventh book in her very clever Murder-of-the-Month series (September Fair, 2009; Octoberfest, 2011).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
