Rhi Nolan series by Kathy Buchen

Death In Chintz
Introduces us to Rhi, a newly widowed mother of three teenagers, who has just moved to New Belgium, Wisconsin, but already she has her hands full. Her new law practice isn't going as well as she thought it would and the town is full of quirky characters who seem overly interested in her past. There is a nosy policeman following her around town giving her tickets, her teenagers are rebelling, and the local Lothario has just dropped dead in her best friend's living room.

Interesting to see how this series was started. I cannot believe how many barbie doll type women there are in this town as the the man murdered is Casanovava who only goes after those types. Rhi and her family are interesting but I got rather tired of how no one was friendly to her, how badly she drove and the tirades. I don't know if she needs glasses and a prescription for valium as she is rather over the top. I don't think I will read another for awhile at least.
