Five StarsKim's writing style reminds me of Janet Evanovich with a Christian message. I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Middle Finger Of Fate. The mixture of the two authors was a breath of fresh air.I highly recommend this book to someone who needs a reminder of God's healing power and may doubt His forgiveness. Everyone makes mistakes and He knows how to show the way to forgive ourselves.

Laugh out loud funny, and very sweet! A great romp through Lubbock Texas with Salem, a recovering alcoholic, her diva dog and the coolest octogenarian since Evanovich's Grandma Mazur!

Unexpected in its clever characters, humor and just all-out quirkiness.

I enjoyed this book. It is a nice, funny mystery with some very interesting characters, I especially liked the feisty octogenarian as a sidekick and the way she leads the charge into battle. The main character was pretty interesting in her own right with the struggles she is going through and you can't help but like her, even with her screw ups she is likable enough for two men to still be interested in her. The mystery it's self was interesting and I liked the way it came to a conclusion. It ha...

Good MysteryI liked the heroine. She has had a rough life, even though she is only 28. The first half of this book was mainly about all sadness, unfairness, trauma of her young life. I say trauma because while there was not much in the way of physical abuse, there was plenty of mental abuse, neglect, hunger, and an unstable life. It was depressing. But at 28 she is a recovering addict, and successfully adhering to the 12-step program. Her sponsor is a caring man always there for her. And her one...

Rarely have I read of a main character so deeply flawed yet so relatable. Ms. Harris helps the reader catch a glimpse into the feelings and actions of those dealing with addiction, poverty, and abuse in an entertaining and hopeful way. I can't wait to read more in this series and more from this author.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, given the title, but what I did expect was that it was going to be a gripping story told with a wicked sense of humor and it didn’t disappoint! And, the title fits it perfectly! Harris tells the heart-warming and hilarious story of Salem Grimes, a recovering alcoholic/born again Christian who, while trying to find herself in her sobriety finds herself embroiled in a murder case that brings back to life all of the things that had plagued her in the pas...

The Trailer Park Princess and the Middle Finger of Fate Book #1 of the Trailer Park Princess seriesby Kim Hunt HarrisOkay. I'm very conflicted by this book. I was attracted to the title, which sounded like it would be hilarious reading. In fairness, it often was. Still, I almost put it down and didn't finish it after just a couple of chapters, before deciding to soldier through. I'm glad I did, because the author has some very good skills at story telling. If she didn't feel the need to preach,

( Format : Audiobook ) "This is the most fun I've had in fifteen years." She was at the church when she found the dead body. It totally freaked her out. 'You don't expect it to look so dead.' She called the police. She wanted a drink. But that wasn't possible as she was a recovering alcoholic. Her sponsor, Les, believed, and told her constantly, that God loved her, just pray. And she tried the Christian thing, she really did, but if God heard her prayers, then he must be laughing at her. No mone...

Hilarious funThis is a new author for me & I like her. She has a quirky group of characters, pretty well developed. It has a good plot with sub plots developed along the way. They're not all woven into the finale leaving openings for more to come in the future. You'll enjoy this as a funny romp. I found myself laughing out loud at times to the point of guffawing. Enjoy!

The short review: I really enjoyed this so much that I want to listen to the next one right away. I could go through these books faster than Salem and Frank go through Star Crunches.The main character is Salem, who is a recovering alcoholic in AA and a new Christian. When she finds a dead body on the way to her AA meeting, it sets in motion a cozy mystery in the best tradition of them. There are lively side characters, possible love interests, unexpected twists and turns, the works.This story co...

Salem Grimes, a recovering alcoholic with just about 14 months of sobriety under her belt is on her way to her regular AA meeting when she stumbles over a body. The discovery lands her on the local news via a mugshot of a previous drunken driving arrest. The alleged killer is her former (or is he?) husband, whom she walked out on, and she ruined the life of the local TV reporter covering the story (by drunkenly sleeping with the reporter’s then-finance the night before the wedding). Talk about c...

Okay, this is definitely not my type of book. I read three, never-ending, excrutiating chapters.I long to jump into a fantasy that takes me on a merry adventure through another time and space.I don't have any interest in a book that is filled with social problems that I cannot identify with personally, even though there was a reference to the protagonist being a new believer. Could not complete this book. I'm off looking for my next adventure into a happy fiction, that hopefully ends with conten...

Funny!There's one thing I absolutely love about this story. The main character is so relatable. Full of flaws, not someone with just one. It makes you get involved and root for Salem.Oh! The humor! This lady knows how to write humor! I am so jealous. If you think writing funny is easy, you got it all wrong!I felt like there were a few too many characters for me to keep track of. That's just me, though. I'd have to read the next one to see if the level is lessened. But I felt the ones I think wil...

Stump’s Story – My gosh, what a tearjerker! How many more horrible things could happen to Stump? As sad as this story is, it was hard to put down, impossible. Ms. Harris did a wonderful job telling this dog’s story, with its losses and its luck. Middle Finger Of Fate, #1 - Hilarious! OMGosh, it's the first chapter and I'm already LOL. A well written, funny, touching suspense with a twisting, well thought out plot and intriguing characters you just can't help but like. There's reminders of Plum,

Kim Hunt Harris's cozy mystery, The Trailer Park Princess and the Middle Finger of Fate, is unlike most cozies. It stars Salem Grimes a 28 year old overweight, recovering alcoholic, guilty of passing bad checks thus on probation, who lives in Lubbock, Texas with her dog--Stump. Her home life was dismal at best and she became a promiscuous teen addicted to alcohol. She was pregnant when she married Tony Solis who is now accused of murder. The victim is 22 year old Lucinda Cruz who Salem found at

A bit outside my usual reading range but a lot of fun. Salem Grimes' first person narration is vivid and full of character and some of the supporting characters and situations are hilarious. The book weaves this with some quite serious stuff about wrestling with God, disappointment, past mistakes and present failures. The book takes to heart the principle that Flannery O'Connor championed - that if you present holiness in too saintly a way the reader will reject it as fake, but if it's in the fo...

This was... interesting. So first of all, a mild warning, this book has a big fair share of religion (fyi I don't have a problem with it but I wish I had read about it before I started reading the book) Salem is an AA in recovery, has a sponsor, whom I love, and lives her life, well, one day at the time. She finds the body of a girl in the church and gets involved trying to discover who the killer was so her ex?husband doesn't fall for the crime she is sure he didn't commit. With the aid of anot...

It really is LOLIn the About this Book, there is a blurb that says it’s a Laugh Out Loud Cozy Mystery. Plus religious parts but not in your face. I actually LOL’d a few times (closer towards the end so stay with it). This book involves a chick that is a little overweight (relatable) and has a drinking problem. Well, actually is an alcoholic and is in AA. The only negative I have is that the author writes about AA and steps and processes and such but our star girl never attends AA meetings. Inste...
