“Humor, honesty, mystery, a touch of romance . . . Yearning for God, trying to please Him, and getting frustrated by failure.”
When Salem Grimes stumbles onto a dead body on her way to an AA meeting, she does what any self-respecting Christian would do—freaks out and screeches words that would make Jesus blush. However, learning her ex-husband, Tony, stands accused of the murder spurs Salem into action. Eager to help, she makes the bold decision to investigate the case as an amateur sleuth. What she lacks in skills, qualifications, or a general clue on how to find, well, clues, she makes up for with the genuine desire to help. With her octogenarian best friend, Viv, and beloved dog, Stump, by her side, can Salem’s faith lead her to answers that will clear Tony’s name? Or will this be one more element of her life she has boggled up?
From USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestseller Kim Hunt Harris comes a hilarious and heartfelt mystery full of side-splitting laughs and shocking twists!

Syndicated columnist Glenn Dromgoole’s newspaper review:
Special to the Reporter-News
When Kim Hunt Harris sent me a copy of her paperback novel back in February, I was immediately intrigued by the title: “The Trailer Park Princess and the Middle Finger of Fate.”
However, at the time, I had a stack of books I was trying to get through, so I set it aside and figured I would get around to it at some point.
When I finally did, I couldn’t put it down. I started reading the 385-page comic mystery novel one evening and finished the next morning. It’s an entertaining read — blending humor, murder, friendship and faith into the mix.
The main character is a not-so-loveable 28-year-old loser named Salem Grimes, who is trying to get her miserable life together after a decade of heavy drinking, bad choices and who knows what else. It’s pretty much a blur to Salem herself.
Now 147 days into sobriety, she is on her way to an AA meeting at a Lubbock church when she finds a dead body on the church basement steps.
When the police arrest Salem’s ex-husband Tony, Salem and her 80-something-year-old sidekick Viv set out to “help” solve the murder and exonerate Tony, putting themselves in grave danger.
Meanwhile, Salem in her sobriety has found God and talks frankly to Him every day but has begun to wonder if He will ever talk back — and, if He does, will she get the message? Her genuinely kind and patient AA sponsor, Les, is reassuring, but Salem has her doubts.
“The Trailer Park Princess and the Middle Finger of Fate” is the first in the Trailer Park Princess series and is available as an e-book and paperback. Two short stories in the series are only on Kindle, while a second full novel is due out this month, “The Trailer Park Princess with Unsightly Bulges.” Should be fun.
