Dovey Coe

My name is Dovey Coe and I reckon it do't matter if you like me or not. Im here to lay the record straight, to let you know them folks saying I done a terrible thing are liars. I aim to prove it, too. I hated Parnell Caraway as much as the next person, but I didnt kill him. Dovey Coe says whats on her mind, so its no secret that she cant stand Parnell Caraway. Parnell may be the son of the richest man in town, but hes mean and snobby, and Dovey cant stand the fact that hes courting her sister, Caroline, or the way he treats her brother, Amos, as if he were stupid just because he cant hear. So when Parnell turns up dead, and Doveys in the room where his body is discovered, she soon finds herself on trial for murder. Can the outspoken Dovey sit still and trust a city slicker lawyer whos still wet behind the ears to get her out of the biggest mess of her life?
