Roberta Jones Spivey has decided to change everything about herself.  After fifteen years of marriage her husband dumps her for his high school sweetheart, Cookie, and to make matters worse she helped him find her believing that it would give him closure.  She'll show him!  She loses weight, changes her hair color, buys herself a whole new wardrobe and changes her name to Bobbie then she follows him to Cottonmouth where she rents a house across the street from Nick Angel who is rumored to be a local serial killer.Nick Angel grew up in Cottonmouth where he was known as the bad boy.  He left but recently came back when his parents passed away and the town never welcomed him back believing that he was nothing but trouble.  They only remember the trouble that he used to get into and not believing that he could change.  The fact that he made a porno, one that his mother showed to all of her friends not knowing didn't help his case any.  Things aren't always black and white though and there are always two sides to every story.When a local man turns up dead everyone has their beliefs of who did it but it's Bobbie's Ex-husband who is taking the blame .  Bobbie decides to take matters into her own hands because she knows that her ex couldn't have done it and she can't sit back and let him take the fall nor can she let her Nick take the blame.  Half the town believes that he's actually the one that did it.This was a good book with some interesting characters and quite a bit of quick witted humor.  I believe that the ending is somewhat far-fetched but who's to say that old bittys in a small town with nothing else to do wouldn't do a complete 360 with the way that things played out.
