Countdown to DEATH IN PERSPECTIVE, A Cherry Tucker Mystery #4

I'm so thrilled to start the countdown to Cherry Tucker's fourth mystery, Death in Perspective

Death in Perspective releases June 24th, but look for the cover reveal on Dru's Book Musings with a giveaway on March 10th at Death in Perspective Cover Reveal.


In book four, the curtain rises on Cherry Tucker’s debut as set designer at the posh Peerless Day Academy. Cherry’s been hired for an adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, but the drama director’s hoping Cherry can also turn the spotlight on a malicious social media bully who’s sending poisonous texts to the faculty. When the principal’s secretary commits suicide, Cherry suspects foul play. Offstage, Cherry’s searching for her missing brother whose vendetta might doom Cherry and Deputy Luke Harper as star-crossed lovers. Between family secrets and a bully’s murderous encore, Cherry fears she may be forced to take a final bow.

Stay tuned for more contests with chances to win Cherry Tucker swag and advanced reader copies during my Countdown to Death

Right now those on my newsletter list are entered to win an ARC. Get on the list by June 20th and you'll be entered to win, too. 
Sign up at my website:  http://larissareinhart.com/ or on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/RisWrites.

Maybe I should rethink titling a contest called Countdown to Death. What do you think? ;)

DIYing Heroine Fashion

The heroine of the Cherry Tucker Mystery series is an artist. Actually a classically trained portraitist, from a small, Southern country town called Halo. Her tough, redneck roots and creative ingenuity help her solve crimes, attract the wrong sort of men, and outfit herself in themed outfits. As an artist, she’s always broke, but with her penchant for interesting dress, Cherry uses her DIY craft skills to match her wardrobe to her personality.



In Hijack in Abstract, her third mystery, Cherry wears a variety of DIY clothing. I thought I’d share the outfits, but show how a real DIYer could use Cherry’s crazy ideas to make their own unique embellishments.

Why Small Town, Georgia?

Choosing Small Towns For a Setting



When I began writing my first Cherry Tucker mystery, PORTRAIT OF A DEAD GUY, I was living in Japan. My family and I enjoy living overseas, and we loved Nagoya, Japan. However, while living in Japan I didn’t feel pulled to write a story that took place in the city and country we habitually explored. I felt compelled to write about our other home in Georgia. Specifically, small town Georgia (as I’m a small town girl). That’s how my brain works. It never makes things easy for me.
