Mystery Monday: Death, Taxes and Hot Pink Leg Warmers by Diane Kelly

StoreyBook Reviews 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series!  I don’t know if it is the witty banter or that it is set in Dallas, but I am always chuckling over Tara’s cases and just the trouble she gets in to.  Sort of reminds me of a Stephanie Plum but working for the IRS in Texas.  Diane Kelly has a winner of a series with Tara Holloway and the way this book ends, I can’t wait to read the next installment!

Synopsis:

It’s bad enough that Tara has to go on trial against the mortgage-frauding “Tennis Racketeers” who cheated banks and homeowners out of millions in between doubles matches. Now she has to go undercover—in a strip club—to strip the sleazeball owner of his indeed illegal livelihood. At least she’s working as a bookkeeper, not a pole dancer. And who needs tips when her undercover crush, Special Agent Nick, is the club’s bodyguard?

With so many hot bodies on display, Tara agrees to join her boss, Lu “the Lobo” Lobozinski, in her daily workouts at the Y. Lu’s on a health kick after recovering from cancer, and she’s pulled her leotards, tights, and hot-pink leg warmers out of mothballs. Which is okay with Tara. If she hopes to put Mr. Geils behind bars, grab the tennis boys by the balls, and lock lips with the unsuspecting Nick, she needs to be in the best shape of her life…
