Cheeky take on a media circus around the murder trial of has-been country star Ray Jones, in Branson, Missouri. The story is a bit of a whirlwind mixing sleazy tabloid staff, a couple of more seasoned investigative journalists, the IRS and a collection of lawyers, everyone with their own agenda. Fun breezy read, although I'm not much of a country connoisseur so the parody may have gone a bit over my head. I hope the lyrics peppered throughout never grace the radio.

This is a reasonably good story about a famous musician being tried for murder and the machinations that journalists (good and Bad) get up to. It has a clever twist at the end .
