Nothing stops a bulldozer like a dead body. A historic amusement park in Okoboji, Iowa, is about to get flattened to make way for luxury condos--that is until Assistant Woodbury County Attorney Hillary Reed finds a body in the park's iconic Tipsy House. It's a big scoop for her significant other, Sioux City Sentinel-Leader reporter Tom Kingman, but also a derailment for their planned romantic Labor Day getaway in Iowa's center for summer sun and fun.Soon Tom finds himself hounded by a shady police chief and condemned to hell by Hillary's puritanical father. With the fate of the park in limbo and Tom making headlines in a bad way, their adventure takes them on a tour of Iowa's most famous resort area and into the lion's den, which Hillary calls Sanhedrin Pharmacy. By the time it's over, Tom will have made a discovery that changes their lives forever.

I really like the authentic local flavor of the book, but in all honesty...each of the last couple of books are showing a bit more of a religious bend, & this one I thought, considerably more. I didn't especially like that aspect, but tolerated it because I liked the locale....
