"Suggest for fans of mysteries featuring small-town police forces, including novels by Claire Booth, Steven F. Havill, and Tricia Fields" - Library Journal Starred Review
With the annual Jubilee Motorcycle Rally approaching, Jarrett Creek residents are divided. Some despise the rowdy, unsavory behaviour of the bikers, but they bring welcome money to local merchants. What's to be done?
At a town meeting to find a solution, temperatures flare as Amber Johnson and Lily Deverell - family women on opposing sides of the debate - throw accusations at each other. Attempting to appease both camps, Chief of Police Samuel Craddock enacts a curfew to dissuade late-night revellers.
Nevertheless, trouble strikes. With the rally in full swing, Amber is found murdered at the event. Why did Amber leave her home that night? What secrets was she hiding from her family?
Craddock quickly faces more challenges as he offers to take in his rebellious teenaged niece, Hailey, whose parents are at their wits' end. He soon understands their pain. Can Craddock keep Hailey under control, or will dealing with her allow a murderer to escape justice?

The stabbing murder of convenience store owner Amber Johnson on the opening night of the annual Jarrett Creek, Tex., motorcycle rally drives Shames’s entertaining ninth Samuel Craddock mystery (after 2019’s A Risky Undertaking for Loretta Singletary). Amber had a heated argument with Lily Deverell at a city council meeting only a few days earlier because Lily wanted to cancel the rally, but Craddock, the town’s police chief, soon comes to suspect other factors were involved. If, for example, Amber’s family was financially hard up, where did she get the $200 found in her purse when she died? What was she doing in the RV of shady lawyer and suspected drug dealer Grant Butler? And who was the man with whom Amber was seen walking on the night of her murder? The police chief’s methodical weighing of the evidence eventually leads to a well-crafted solution. Craddock’s understated first-person narration, the vivid secondary characters, and a nicely drawn small-town setting more than compensate for a plot that offers little in the way of action or suspense. This entry should win Shames new fans. Agent: Kimberley Cameron, Kimberley Cameron & Assoc.

What's more dangerous, a motorcycle rally or a teenage girl? Texas police chief Samuel Craddock is about to find out. Not everyone is thrilled that the yearly Jubilee Motorcycle Rally is about to come to Jarrett Creek. Some locals want to ban it. But the merchants who've parlayed a good deal of money from the event are happy to put up with a little aggravation. The sheriff brokers a truce after a nasty war of words breaks out between Lily Deverell, who's spearheading the campaign to shut down the rally, and Amber Johnson, a store owner whose husband was badly injured while riding with his motorcycle club, leaving her to support their family by herself. Meanwhile, Craddock offers to take his nephew's teenage daughter, Hailey, for a while to see if he can straighten out her recent bad behavior. Visiting the rally grounds to check out security, Sam notices Amber coming out of an RV. When, the next evening, she's found dead behind the music venue at the rally, Sam and his deputy, Maria Trevino, investigate even though the case is assigned to the overburdened Department of Public Safety and Sam already has his hands full with Hailey, who alternates between acting like the sweet girl he remembers and a sneaky, hormonal teen who's been hiding a much older boyfriend. At least Hailey takes an interest in the murder investigation and makes some new friends. The town rallies around the Johnson family, but Sam's discovery that some of Amber's income comes from turning tricks opens up a whole new avenue to investigate both in town and at the rally. A neat character-intensive combo of clever police work and family angst.COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Starred review from October 1, 2022
Three years after A Risky Undertaking for Loretta Singletary, Shames's empathetic sheriff returns in a well-written police procedural that doesn't skimp on the humanity. The Jubilee Motorcycle Rally is a controversial topic at the Jarrett Creek, TX, council meeting. While some residents want to ban the motorcycles from the town for the week, business owners rely on the traffic. It almost comes to blows before police chief Samuel Craddock suggests a business curfew as a compromise. Craddock only expects the normal troubles from the rally, but when he's called in the middle of the night because of a murder there, he discovers the body of a resident. With thousands in the area, he knows he has a limited time to discover a killer, whether from the rally or someone the victim knew well. At the same time, he's dealing with his nephew's troubled teenage daughter who is staying with him for the week. It takes skill to investigate murder while handling a rebellious 16-year-old yearning for excitement and adulthood. VERDICT Suggest for fans of mysteries featuring small-town police forces, including novels by Claire Booth, Steven F. Havill, and Tricia Fields.--Lesa Holstine
