In her debut novel, author Miranda Parker gives us the action-packed, witty and romantic first installment of her Angel Crawford Novel. A Good Excuse to Be Bad is entertaining and exciting.

          Angel Crawford has traded her job as a reporter for Atlanta based Sentinel for the dangerous yet exciting life of a bounty hunter. She may inherit a few bumps and bruises in the process, but she always gets her man . . . or woman.

          Angel soon finds herself in a world wind of emotions when she finds her twin sister Ava leaning over her dead husband’s body. To make things complicated, Justin Morgan, her pastor, has decided to be her savior and her sidekick. That wouldn’t normally be a problem, if she weren’t falling for him.

          Together these two leap into action to clear Ava’s name and find out what really happened that night at the McMansion.

          Is this a case of a crime of passion? You’ll have to read A Good Excuse to Be Bad to find out. Miranda Parker has done an excellent job with this novel and I look forward to reading the next installment.

          Kudos to Ms. Parker for smooth, enjoyable and uncomplicated!
