Death, Taxes, and Silver Spurs

Tara Holloway Series, Book 7

By: Diane Kelly

Narrated by: Wendy Tremont King

He's one of America's brightest stars. So maybe it goes without saying that IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway is star-struck? In Diane Kelly's Death, Taxes, and Silver Spurs, she's head over heels...in trouble.

Easy's getting harder every day for Tara. A tax-evading pet groomer managed to buzz off a big chunk of her hair...just in time for her strictly-business meeting with country-music heartthrob Brazos Rivers. Of course Tara shouldn't care - she's devoted to Special Agent Nick Pratt, after all - but Rivers does know how to steal a woman's heart with a song....

Meanwhile, Tara's up to her fracking neck with another case: A natural-gas company with a money trail that is almost as suspicious as Brazos Rivers' tax return. Which is to say, he can't seem to cough up one. Tara figures the misdeeds of her celebrity crush must be an oversight. But will she dance to a different tune...when her tax-evading idol starts evading her, too?

Not How the IRS Works

While I have enjoyed this series in the past, the plot of this book is beyond unbelievable. When a person owes the IRS over 20 million dollars, ignoring all communications for months if not years, that person is simply arrested. Tara and Nick would not have chased a country singer for weeks without putting him in cuffs and hauling him to jail. End of story. Too annoying for words.
