Paula Boyd
Author of the Award-Winning Jolene Jackson Mystery Series
Hot Enough to Kill and Dead Man Falls have been featured in publications across the country, most recently in The Dallas Morning News review of Lone Star Sleuths. See the announcements section for the complete review and a page from San Antonio Woman magazine. "Anyone who enjoys the works of Janet Evanovich or Joan Hess is going to love Ms. Boyd." -- Toby Bromberg, Romantic Times
"...a terrific mystery, sharply drawn, cleverly plotted, dynamically presented, and pure sleuthing entertainment from first page to last." -- Wisconsin Bookwatch
"This is a wild ride with thrills, chills and laughs galore. Highly Recommended." -- Editor, I *Love* a Mystery
5 Stars and 5+ Laughs! Has to be film adapted. Would make a delightful audiobook. " ...a hoot and a half of rollicking good mystery! The best dang novel I've read all year!" -- Leann Arndt, The Midwest Book Review
"Carl Hiaasen meets Texasville! ...a must read for your Sherlock funny bone." -- Judi Clark, Mostly Fiction "The mystery genre has witnessed an abundance of female sleuths, but none quite like Jolene Jackson and her mother, Lucille." -- Argus Observer
"... comedic characters you'll just love. ...a humor you can't resist. I can't remember the last time that I read a book as light and refreshing as this." -- Pamela Stone, My Shelf
"This first entry of an apparent series will leave readers loudly laughing at the antics of Jolene and her mother. Hot Enough to Kill is a tongue-in-cheek look at relationships and amateur sleuthing. Still, the mystery has a character of its own that adds to a wonderful plot." -- Harriet Klausner "Suffice to say this is a page turner. I predict you will enjoy it!" -- Anne Thompson, Rocky Ford Daily Gazette
"If you're looking for a laugh-a-minute mystery in the style of Joan Hess or Carl Hiaasen, run right out and buy this book. It's as near perfect a comedy-mystery as you can find on the market today." -- Mary Welk, author of the award-winning Caroline Rhodes Mystery Series
"Rising star Paula Boyd is sassy and cheeky and uproariously funny, Texas style!" -- Kate Bryan, author of Murder on the Barbary Coast.
"Paula Boyd's sharp, Texas-flavored wit sends the reader on a wild ride. I recommend a seatbelt for this outrageously entertaining mystery." -- Michelle Black, author of the award-winning author of Never Come Down "A 'must read' for Janet Evanovich fans! -- Linda Lovin, Lovin's Books
"I had so much fun reading this that I hated to have it end. Paula Boyd writes with pure Texas humor, weaving together a good whodunit and providing a backdrop that won't be forgotten. Hot Enough to Kill is a must read for your Sherlock funny bone." -- Judi Clark, MostlyFiction.com
