Kelly Harms, Amy Reichert
Mystery to Me 1863 Monroe St., Madison, Wisconsin 53711
press release: In The Matchmakers of Minnow Bay, Kelly Harms trains her eye on the love lives of Lily Stewart and Ben Hutchinson. Lily, at a crossroads in her life, is ready to throw in the towel and abandon her beloved apartment in the city for cheaper pastures. But, in the process of packing away her possessions, she finds—oops!—a letter requiring further action to finalize the annulment of a quickie, long- forgotten Vegas wedding from...10 years ago!
Luck, Love & Lemon Pie by Amy Reichert is about Milwaukee-area wife and mother MJ Boudreaux who notices her husband Chris seems more interested in the casino than her, she’s more bothered that she isn’t upset than by her husband’s absence. She picks up poker as a way for them to spend more time together—and reignite their marital flame.
Although the game doesn’t give her the quality time with Chris that she’d hoped, MJ finds she has a knack for it. Increasingly unhappy at home, she turns to the felt top of the poker table for comfort. Intoxicated with newfound freedom, MJ begins spending more time at the gambling tables and less with her family, finally carving out for herself a place outside her role of wife and mother.
