Lies, Thighs & Alibis

Welcome to Bootleg Lickher—where the cobbler is hot, the gossip is hotter, and someone just got murdered in the dunk tank. Lies, Thighs, and Alibis is a Southern-fried satirical mystery packed with bold women, scandalous secrets, and one unforgettable murder that shakes a small town to its roots. Once dubbed "The South's Safest Town in the World," Bootleg Lickher lost its good name when Mayor Sugarfoot Jenkins was caught laundering funds to build an underground pig spa. Now the town is trying to reclaim its charm with a revitalized Peach Bottoms Festival—until tragedy strikes. The reigning festival queen, Jolene Pride, turns up dead in the dunk tank. Crown crooked. Lipstick still fierce. And her infamous peach-colored sash strangled tight. Who killed Jolene? And why does half the town seem relieved she's gone? Meet your unlikely dream team of town-saving misfits: Roxy Belladonna, a former burlesque queen turned boutique boss with a knack for solving small-town chaos in heels. She's got an alibi—and a big reason to clear her name. Mayor Alyssa Whippass, a no-nonsense ex-military strategist with a sharp eye, a sharper tongue, and zero tolerance for Southern foolishness. Dr. Steve B. Johnson, the town's new cosmetic surgeon… who's actually in witness protection and might be hiding more than just scars. Tammy, a sweet tea-sipping academic who moonlights as a vigilante. She doesn't trust anyone—especially the pastor she secretly adores. Sandra, Steve's heavily enhanced assistant with nerves of steel, fake cheeks, and real receipts. Pastor Royce, charming, young, and maybe too perfect to be holy. But he knows how to handle a scandal—and a shotgun. As Roxy peels back layers of sugar-coated deception, she uncovers secret tunnels, hidden twins, and a sinister government experiment turning Bootleg Lickher into a mind-control testing ground. Suddenly, murder is just the beginning. With the Peach Bottoms Festival spiraling out of control, and a killer still on the loose, this unlikely crew must crack the case, save their town, and protect their sanity—before their memories, their truths, and their identities are wiped clean. Lies, Thighs, and Alibis is a hilarious, high-heeled whodunit that blends Southern charm, cozy mystery twists, and razor-sharp satire. Perfect for fans of comedic mysteries, small-town dramas, and fierce women with bigger-than-life personalities, this story serves sweet tea, shady alibis, and suspense by the skilletful. Because in Bootleg Lickher, everybody's hiding something—and some secrets wear lipstick.
