A Bad Day for Sorry

A Bad Day for Sorry (2009) by Sophie Littlefield. Grrrl-power chick lit, except the grrrl in question is a fifty-something woman from a rural Missouri town. Her name is Stella Hardesty, and she dispenses rough justice to wife-beaters and woman-mistreaters everywhere -- but especially in her corner of the Midwest. She operates outside of the law, which makes her crush on Sheriff Goat Jones a little problematic. In this book, she finds herself clashing with organized crime as she tries to help a young lady retrieve her dad-napped baby. It's fairly entertaining to read, but it does strain the bounds of credulity. Grade: B
