Hell to Pay by Pamela Fagan Hutchins

Big-haired paralegal and former rodeo queen Emily has her life back on track. Her adoption of Betsy seems like a done deal, her parents have reunited, and she’s engaged to her sexy boss Jack. Then client Phil Escalante’s childhood buddy Dennis drops dead, face first into a penis cake at the adult novelty store Phil owns with his fiancée Nadine, one of Emily’s best friends. The cops charge Phil with murder right on the heels of his acquittal in a trial for burglarizing the Mighty is His Word church offices. Emily’s nemesis ADA Melinda Stafford claims a witness overheard Phil fighting with Dennis over a woman. Before he can mount a defense, Phil falls into a diabetic coma, leaving Nadine shaken and terrified. Meanwhile Betsy’s ultra-religious foster parents apply to adopt her, and Jack starts acting weird and evasive. Emily feels like a calf out of a chute, pulled between the ropes of the header and the heeler, as she fights to help Phil and Nadine without losing Betsy and Jack.

This was my first Pamela Fagan Hutchins novel. I am usually not one for Mystery but I am so glad I was given the opportunity to read this book!

I was captured with intrigue from the first chapter. Hell to Pay was funnier than I thought it would be and easy to jump right into even though I am late in the series. This is a mystery that will keep you combing the pages eager to solve it!

With suspense, intrigue and passion, Hell to Pay has all the important elements that make a wonderful Romantic Mystery.
