A Virtuous Woman: Texas political suspense
About this ebook
Ruthie Brewster was on a mission to make sure every abused woman in Plains City, Texas, has a safe place to go.
Until someone killed her.
Plains City Gazette news editor Katy Williams admired Ruthie a lot. She's appalled by other reactions: The police seem less than committed to finding her killer. A local minister thinks what she was doing was of the devil and she got what was due her. Even her own brother seems unmoved by her death.
Then someone kills another woman on the board of the Women's Shelter. It looks like the killer has a list. And Katy's public support for the Shelter just added her to the list.
Book 2 in the mystery series A Newspaper in Texas. It's the 1980s — where being called a little lady is considered affection not insult.

About the author
L.J. Breedlove is a former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.
L.J. grew up on a cattle ranch and then went to college to be an oceanographer. She decided getting seasick was not a good trait for any oceanographer to have, and discovered journalism instead — a field that liked people who asked questions!
As a reporter and editor, she worked in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, and Washington, D. C. — places that have become the sites for her books. She got homesick for the Pacific Northwest and came home to work with college newspapers and teach journalism.
She is an over-educated, bleeding-heart liberal with a penchant for heroes such as Jack Reacher. She isn't particularly bothered by the inconsistency. Some of her thrillers have werewolves in them — that doesn’t faze her either.
You can follow her on Facebook at ljbreedlove. Best place to find her — besides a local coffee shop — is at ljbreedlove.com. You can sign up for her email newsletter there!
