Lightfoot’s wandering eye has finally gotten the best of his
wife, Lexie. Bereft, she moves with her teenage daughter,
Eva, back to her hometown, Moose Creek Junction, Wyoming, to
be near her sister Lucy, and they open a small business, The
Saucy Lucy Café. It sounded like a good idea. Hometown.
Family. A career and an income…
But Lucy is a staunch, churchgoing woman who believes her
sister must remarry in order to enter the kingdom of heaven
and the reluctant Lexie finds herself dating again. Trouble
is, all her dates wind up dying and visiting Stiffwell’s
Funeral Parlor. Gossiping townspeople begin to mistrust the
sisters and café customers dwindle…along with the men’s
townfolk.
Although Detective Gabe Stevenson, with whom Lexie has a
love/hate relationship, and Lucy’s husband, the inept town
sheriff, Otis Parnell, warn the sisters not to get involved,
Lexie just can’t let things be. Business is down the toilet
and, according to Lexie, the police simply aren’t getting
the job done. It’s time to intervene.
And so begins the hilarious and half-baked investigation of
The Saucy Lucy Murders.

Reviews
"This lighthearted amusing amateur sleuth
tale is fun to read as the sisters ignore law enforcement to
investigate who is killing Lexie’s dates. The key to this
enjoyable whodunit is that a potential romance between Lexie
and Gabe never occurs and this never intrudes; not because
he fears a second date, but instead the big tough detective
is a wuss when it comes to women. The story line never takes
itself seriously even when the heroine is in danger as Cindy
Keen Reynders provides fans with an enjoyable frolic filled
with puns like Stiffwell and strong characters." -- Harriet
