"Fascinating amateur sleuth tale"
Georgia Barnett is a feisty, brash and well-known
television reporter for WJIV news in Chicago. Her latest
assignment covering a charity event at Lake Michigan turns
into the scoop of a lifetime when one of the witnesses
finds a dead body floating in the water. It turns out that
the man in the water, a murder victim, was Fab Weaver, a
former record producer who was famous in the seventies on
Chicago's Record Row. Georgia becomes personally involved in the case when
a family friend, guitarist Jimmy Flamingo, becomes the
number one suspect in the murder. Jimmy, like so many
other people, had a grudge against the record producer
because Fab cheated him out of money. Georgia decides to
do some investigating, not realizing that she is putting
herself in the line of fire. HIT TIME is a fascinating amateur sleuth tale
starring an in your face heroine who endears herself to the
reader with her wit, cleverness and bravado. The first
person narrative allows the audience to feel close to
Georgia and hope she can solve the case without getting
herself killed in the process. Ardella Garland has
constructed a complex mystery that takes so many twists and
turns that the reader will never see who the real villain
is. Harriet Klausner
