Sweet Success for Judy Spoon Ertel

Published November 20, 2025

Congratulations to Judy Spoon Ertel on her latest release, THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE DEAD (October, WestBow Press). This is the fourth book in her Addie Girard Mysteries series.

ABOUT THE BOOK  Life in Wanderwood, TX is musically hopping since Addie Girard’s younger son Will moved home to pursue his bliss as a guitarist and singer. Will’s first professional gig has his new band, Amigos Ultimos, tripping over a dead guy by the pool. With help from her two best buds, Lottie Frisham and Lacy Tindal, can Addie deal with a troublesome newspaper editor, ferret out swindlers and a murderer, placate the ruggedly good looking sheriff’s deputy who wants to lock her up, and keep Will out of trouble? And what does her nemesis, Janet Makeshire, have to do with the dead guy by the pool? Purchase a copy through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or wherever books are sold.
