"Notorious in Nashville is an engrossing read. There's country music, of course, but Phyllis Gobbell touches on the issues that actual Nashvillians care about: unrestrained growth and regular folks no longer able to afford homes in the city. Jordan's visit to the Music City gets her involved in both aspects of Nashville. And there's a murder to be solved."
