From Booklist
Kate Banning, a single mother, editor, and sleuth, has moved to Nashville, Tennessee, from Massachusetts. Phil Armstead, a record-company executive and fellow Yankee expatriate, asks Kate to investigate rumors that Troy Blackfeather, a promising Cherokee singer, has an unsavory past that won't play with mainstream country fans. Blackfeather seems to check out, but then his girlfriend disappears, and Banning must endure a criminal barrage that includes kidnapping, sabotage, and robbery. This second Kate Banning novel is a real treat, as Tishy combines believable characters with a lively view of country music and Nashville life. Kate compares favorably to other amateur female sleuths, including Triss Stein's Kay Engles and Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak. This little-known series from a small publisher deserves a much wider audience. John Rowen
