Book Summary
Rebecca Robbins, owner of the Toe Stop roller-skating rink, is back, this time joined by a tough and sassy roller derby team, and she has a new puzzling murder to solve.
It’s Native American Summer Days in Indian Falls, and
Rebecca is roped into taking a turn in the Senior Center
dunk tank. That is, until her rhinestone-studded
grandfather, Pop, needs help setting up his Elvis act.
Minutes from climbing into the tank, Rebecca has to find a
replacement, and roller derby girl Sherlene-n-Mean is
delighted to fit the bill---until she’s dunked,
electrocuted, and killed. It’s obvious that this was no
accident. Someone rigged the tank, but who was the intended
target? Sherlene-n-Mean or Rebecca?
With a list of
suspects in hand and Pop cheering her on, Rebecca starts
asking questions. Who disliked Sherlene-n-Mean enough to
kill her? Could a father really be capable of murdering his
own daughter for money? Why has the bowling alley owner
suddenly decided to call a truce and offer Rebecca his
assistance? Who was Sherlene-n-Mean? Did her
mysterious past catch up with her and get her killed or was
she a victim of circumstance? Aided by a trio of
self-appointed bodyguard derby girls and caught between
Deputy Sean and her sometimes-boyfriend Lionel, Rebecca digs
for answers, dodges bullets, and races to find a killer
before the killer strikes again.
Joelle Charbonneau’s third novel is a gem in a charming and hilarious series.
