FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Criminal Misdeeds by Randee Green left me with a smile on my face the entire time I was reading this book. I love books like this one because they have a mystery in them, but they also make me smile because most of the characters are crazy. I loved watching Carrie try and save her family from themselves because they are crazy. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Hardy throughout the entire book and I couldn’t really tell you why, but he just bugged me. I wonder if it wasn’t because I loved her, and her family and he is so different from all of them. When I read mystery books I find that I am always trying to figure out what is going to happen before it happens, and this is the first book in awhile where I didn’t try and do that. I can’t wait to read more books by this author and more books in this series in the future because I love this family and I feel bad for Carrie for trying to keep them all out of trouble.

As far back as the Shatners can be traced, they have been breaking the law and running from it. It’s a family tradition. Now Carrie Shatner is a detective and crime-scene technician with the Wyatt County Sheriff’s Department in Eastern Texas. Over the years, she has tried to distance herself from her family’s criminal activities. But that is easier said than done.
The Shatner family is celebrating New Year’s Eve at the Wyatt County Fairgrounds in their usual style: illegal fireworks, homemade moonshine, and a near brawl. After shutting down the party, Carrie does a final sweep of the fairgrounds and finds a dead body in a dumpster.
Good news: the dead man is not a Shatner. Bad news: the Shatners are now suspects in a homicide investigation. Soon the fairgrounds are overrun with law enforcement, including Sergeant Jerrod Hardy, a Texas Ranger. The victim is Kyle Vance, Carrie’s ex-boyfriend and a member of the Palmer family, who have been feuding with the Shatners since the Civil War.
Despite serious misgivings, Hardy allows Carrie to help him investigate. He knows she physically couldn’t have beaten Vance to death, but he wonders if she is covering for a family member.
