Pretty Girls Get Away with Murder by Brandi Bradley

When a young entrepreneur is killed, everyone in town points fingers at his New Age, neo-hippie, miracle-manifesting smokeshow of an ex-girlfriend, Gabbi-including the victim’s best friend, Jenna.
As detective Lindy D’Arnaud and her partner, Boggs, search for a motive, they begin to wonder if this go-getter was chasing after more than he could handle.
In Lindy’s personal life, things aren’t much clearer. When Lindy’s wife’s ex-boyfriend-and sperm donor to their baby-decides to move back to town, she finds herself competing for her wife’s affection.
Can they be postmodern in western Kentucky, where living as a queer person is tenuous enough already?

Praise For Pretty Girls Get Away with Murder
“Nothing in Bradley’s absorbing novel is simple; indeed, the plot is as complex and as unpredictable as life itself, though it never feels convoluted. Instead, the author renders the mystery, and the everyday lives that surround it, with admirable clarity.” — Kirkus Reviews
“…a fresh, dynamic take on Southern noir that offers readers both a riveting murder mystery and a sharply observed commentary on small-town dynamics, gender roles, and the struggles of queer life in conservative settings. Bradley’s novel crackles with tension and wit, diving into the duality of Kentucky’s charm with an equal mix of affection and critique, crafting a story that’s as suspenseful as it is socially insightful.” -Hina Kempen
“…full of twists and turns. The author did an excellent job of building the characters in the book…great for anyone who enjoys crime thrillers. I felt like I was visualizing my favorite crime show series. This story will have you guessing till the end.” – Ashley Meyer, Goodreads reviewer
“This book has a strong, engaging plot with plenty of options to consider when trying to work out “whodunnit.” There are some absolutely infuriating characters here, which is always a good sign that the author has hit the mark in making them credible. I loved seeing how they responded to different situations and where they all ended up.” – Louise Gray, NetGalley reviewer
“Great read!! I loved reading about Kentucky princesses! It had great suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, a fantastic who done it…crazy twists and turns! I highly recommend reading this book!” -Debbie Brogan, NetGalley reviewer
