A Mysterious Review of Hijack in Abstract by Larissa Reinhart. A Cherry Tucker Mystery.
Review summary: This murder mystery storyline has a well-considered premise, though is somewhat weakly executed. There is nothing subtle about series lead Cherry Tucker, but that very characteristic helps smooth over some of the rough plot patches, providing a bit of comic relief throughout this entertaining, if also rather uneven, mystery.

Hijack in Abstract
Larissa Reinhart
A Cherry Tucker Mystery
Henery Press (November 2013)
Publisher synopsis: With a classical series sold and a portrait commissioned, Cherry Tucker's art career is in Georgia overdrive. But when the sheriff asks Cherry to draw a composite sketch of a hijacker, her life takes a hairpin as the composite leads to a related murder, her local card-sharking buddy Max Avtaikin becomes bear bait, and her nemesis besmirches her classical series.
Cherry's jamming gears between trailer parks, Atlanta mansions, and trucker bars searching for the hijacker who left a widow and orphan destitute. While she seeks to help the misfortunate and save her local reputation, Cherry's hammer down attitude has her facing the headlights of an oncoming killer.
