It's a day like any other for Deuce Winters, a stay-at-home dad in sleepy Rose Petal, Texas, where he and his three-year-old daughter Carly are making their weekly trip to the grocery store. But the discovery of a dead body in his mini-van quickly throws his quiet life into disarray. In a town where gossip spreads faster than a brush fire in July, it doesn't help that the victim ruined Deuce's high school football career and married his ex-girlfriend. . .
As the number one suspect in the court of public opinion, Deuce is determined to clear his name, with a little help from his wife Julianne, a high-powered attorney who lovingly refers to him as her "househusband." His search for the killer leads him to a business plan gone awry and a gaggle of jilted lovers. All the while, he'll have to contend with a diminutive but feisty detective, the ruthless preschool PTA, and more than his fair share of Texas-sized hairdos—not to mention the laundry. . .

      What is a dead body doing in stay-at-home dad Deuce Winters's minivan? And why does the whole dang town think he's guilty of killing his old football nemesis in the first place? Deuce finds allies in strange places in his Dallas suburb of Rose Petal, including a feisty little person, Victor Doolittle, a crackerjack PI. Victor guides Deuce in the right direction, and the improbable team figures out who is the mastermind behind the worst business plan ever. VERDICT Deuce Winters is a winning new protagonist, and it doesn't hurt that the working mom is a top-notch attorney and their child is adorable. Allen has a great feel for small-town chatter, and his clever plotting makes for a quick, fun read. The author also writes a darker series under the name of Jeff Shelby.
