In the second installment of the Dr. Delta Grayson series, we visit our favorite vigilante as she discovers the truth behind a hidden family secret. With all her personal turmoil revealed, can she pick up the pieces and protect Leighton from a dark presence bent on blood?
The first Dr. Delta Grayson novel is Small Town Unwound.
“Main Street Misfire” is the followup to Karter’s “Small Town Unwound.” I read the first several times, falling completely in love with Dr. Grayson, her quirky cousin Saddie, and lawman Dusty. The mystery and suspense balance humor and a heartfelt characterization of the town that is so hard to find. There is nothing lopsided about these books. Karter’s writing style is a real rarity, flowing lyrically and dripping with southern charm. I was so excited to see that the sequel had finally been released, and was not dissapointed. The crew is back, and with a few more (possibly even more sinister) foes to derail. Dr. Delta also uncovers a family secret that gives the reader a new depth of insight as to her “dual” nature, which seems to fuel her resolve to protect the helpless by any means necessary. I found myself reading for hours on end, as the villains in this book are so incredibly despicable that I often was worked into a half rage myself, going along for the ride with Delta as she goes head to head with the literal scum of the earth. Definitely a five star read, perhaps even better than the first, and my favorite mystery this year. One note, though, I would read “Small Town Unwound” first as part of the fun of this one was in catching up with the characters, who, after the first book seem like your old friends.

Kim Karter (4-3-88) is a born and raised Southerner depicting the quirks of the South from an honest perspective. Her upbringing includes various moves as a child including Kansas City, Missouri, and Birmingham, Alabama, but her home is Muscle Shoals, Alabama where she resides today with her family, German Shepherd, and an orphaned fox named Todd.
Her short stories have been published in various literary magazines, including Folly, Dew on the Kudzu, New Voices, and Twisted Dreams. She praises ‘Not in My Kitchen’ as the start of her professional writing career.
“‘Not in My Kitchen’ gave me the confidence to take the next step, and complete projects I’d been working on for a long time. My Grandmother had just passed away, and I turned to writing to help me cope with such a tremendous loss. The character Thelma, is based on her, and within days the story was accepted for publication. I took that as a sign from my Grandmother to get back to work! I could just see her standing behind the editor and slapping them as they read it. She may have had more to do with it than I even know.”
