"Hormones and Murder..."

Madeleine "Max" Maxwell is about to have a sudden life change. Nearing forty, scheduled for a hysterectomy, and as hard drinking and hard living as they come, she wasn't exactly ready for the unexpected pregnancy that would ultimately change her life.

But then again, she wasn't ready for the smoky voiced, ex-con, Jackson O'Brien, or the murders occuring in her little town of Hawk Marsh either. Murders directly related to her.

Whats a girl to do? She's pregnant, hormones are raging, life altering events are occuring, and Max is smack dab in the middle of a murder mystery threatening to drive her insane.

You've got to read this book. Laura Gardner has written a wonderfully witty, superbly emotional, and amazingly twisted mystery you won't be able to put down.

Who's killing the men in Max's life, and why? Is it the moody ex-con, the psychotic ex-lover, or someone else ensuring their own agenda?

Packed with humor, and a earthy realism that will amaze you, Aint Nobody's Bizness guides you through six harrowing months of Max's life. The changes to the person that was, the growth of the woman and mother that will be, the trials that will knock her down, and her steely determination to stand up against all odds and face the future to come.

This is a mystery you definitely don't want to miss
