"Don't Mess with Texas! You'll laugh your way from Kickapoo to Redwater Falls and back." -- Linda Huntley Wills, REDBOOK

"This is a wild ride with thrills, chills and laughs galore. Highly Recommended." -- Editor, I *Love* a Mystery

"...makes for fast, fun summer reading." -- Nancy Cook-Senn, Shawnee Escort

"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

"The mystery genre has witnessed an abundance of female sleuths, but none quite like Jolene Jackson and her mother, Lucille." -- Argus Observer

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

"... 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 amatuer sleuthing. Still, the mystery has a character of its own that adds to a wonderful plot. If this tale is any example, Paula Boyd has a long running series that will provide much pleasure to fans." -- Harriet Klausner

"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

MOSTLYFICTION.COM GIFT BOOK SELECTION:
"If you thought Thelma and Louise (Lucille's favorite movie) were crazy, you've got to meet this mother-daughter team. 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

"With an irreverent wit and an imagination that knows no bounds, she takes readers for a ride they won't soon forget." -- Epinions.com

"Suffice to say this is a page turner. I predict you will enjoy it!" -- Anne Thompson, Rocky Ford Daily Gazette

"There seems little doubt that Boyd will be compared most favorably to Hess and Evanovich." -- Doris Ann Norris, BookBrowser

"Boyd's humor is wry and delightful, leaning a bit more towards the cozy end of the scale than Evanovich's. ...hilarious homespun - Texas - humor - mystery." -- Cathy Gallagher, About.com Mysteries
