Fired. Tara Holloway can't believe it. After all she's done for the IRS, a few too many shots fired from her weapon and suddenly she's public enemy number one.

Don’t shoot yourself in the foot

Truly enjoying this series
Good story and great narration
Love how Tara copes with ice cream and Nick!!

Hilarious series!

This high quality classic mystery is loaded with lots of twists and turns as the story unfolds. The characters are interesting, the dialogue flows naturally, and I'll definitely read more books in this series!

Not Believable

The idea that Tara was going to be charged with excessive force based only on the accusation of a kidnapper and violent criminal was too ridiculous for words, especially in Texas.

It was also improbable that Tara would be fired for saving a DEA agent who had been drugged and sexually assaulted. In Dallas, Tara would have been awarded the keys to the city and a big bonus.
