Hijack in Abstract (A Cherry Tucker Mystery)

Praise for Larissa Reinhart’s Cherry Tucker Mysteries

HIJACK IN ABSTRACT

“The fast-paced plot careens through small-town politics and deadly rivalries, with zany side trips through art-world shenanigans and romantic hijinx. Like front-porch lemonade, Reinhart’s cast of characters offer a perfect balance of tart and sweet.”

Bestselling Author of
A Bad Day for Sorry

“Cherry is back–tart-tongued and full of sass. With her paint-stained fingers in every pie, she’s in for a truckload of trouble.”

– J.J. Murphy,

Author of the Algonquin Round Table Mysteries

“Bless her heart. Artist Cherry Tucker just can’t help chasing after justice, even when it lands her up to her eyeballs in Russian gangsters, sexy exes, and treacherous truckers. A rambunctious mystery as Southern as chess pie and every bit as delectable.”

– Jane Sevier,

Author of the Psychic Socialite 1930s Memphis Mysteries

– Diane Vallere,

Author of the Style & Error and Mad for Mod Mystery Series

“Reinhart took me on a fun rollercoaster ride. Everyone is a suspect and just when you think you have things figured out, you’re forced to reevaluate your theory and modify your suspect list. I haven’t had this much fun trying to solve a mystery in a while and it sure beats playing a game of Clue any day! Four out of five stars.”
