I really enjoyed the country music setting of Your Killin' Heart as well as the behind-the-scenes look at a travel agency. The mystery had a high enjoyment factor, too, even though I'd deduced the identity of the villain before the end.
What I didn't enjoy was Campbell Hale. This main character's sole reason for getting involved in a murder investigation is because she's nosy. She forced her friend to take her with him to the Miller mansion, and the second she was left alone, she was off and running-- snooping down halls and opening doors. (When Campbell gets old and loses some of her mobility, I can see her sitting at her window, twitching the curtain back so she can keep an eye on all her neighbors' business.) She also had what I call a TSTL Moment (Too Stupid To Live) when she agrees to go alone to a suspect's house.
Even though Campbell's behavior moved from being extremely annoying to moderately amusing by book's end, I don't think I'll be visiting her in Nashville again. It's a shame. I like that town.
