Review: Score for a freebie!

I admit it, I'm a free kindle book junkie. If it's on the free list and looks even *remotely* good, I'll snag it.  So far the free books have been mostly mediocre, with a few bright sparkling gems that make it worthwhile (there's also some on the extreme opposite end of the spectrum, but I like to keep my reviews family friendly...)"Cold Turkey" definitely counts as a gem. Which was even more surprising, coming from the publisher that it does. I'm far more accustomed to Ellora's Cave books being heavy on the smut, light on the story, and even lighter on the writing skill.  Cold Turkey was an excellent story, no smut at all, and fabulous writing.  Very reminiscent of Charlaine Harris's "Aurora Teagarden" series - excellent main characters, a little lighter on the supporting cast, but overall an enjoyable read. And really, what's not to love about a turkey nesting in the backseat of a vintage Mustang?And the biggest proof that I liked?  I went and bought the rest of the series. So far so good!Although, if someone wants to comment on my review and let me know - in the Epilogue a new storyline is introduced, do we ever see the conclusion of that?  Book Two has a different plot so far.
