Death, Taxes and a Satin Garter by Diane Kelly is the tenth book in A Tara Halloway Novel series. Tara Halloway is a special agent for IRS Criminal Investigations in Dallas, Texas. Her latest client is Florence “Flo” Cash who owns a local radio station. Flo has stated on her tax returns that the station is barely breaking even since she took over its ownership. Tara knows that Flo is being deceptive, and she is determined to get the truth. Flo is equally determined and uses the radio to voice her displeasure. Tara has also been assigned a special case by her boss, Lu Lobozinski. Three women have been “catfished” and they would like justice. Morgan Walker (an alias) dated each of the women and after three dates he asked them to a cash a check for him. After giving him the money, they never saw Morgan again (of course). The check would then bounce, leaving each women owing the bank. Tara has to think outside the box to catch this culprit. During her off time, Tara is busy helping her friend, Alicia plan her wedding and organizing the bachelorette party. This leaves little time for her relationship with fellow agent, Nick Pratt. Read Death, Taxes and a Satin Garter to see if Tara will be able to reel in Flo Cash and Morgan Walker. Death, Taxes and a Satin Garter was an enjoyable book to read. I have to admit to chuckling a few times while reading this book. I liked the investigations. I had no clue was “catfishing” was before this novel (to me it relates to fishing). I also cannot imagine going to such lengths to avoid paying taxes. If Flo had put as much thought into her business, she would be wildly successful. While Death, Taxes and a Satin Garter is a part of a series, it can easily be read alone. We get the necessary background information needed to read (and understand) the book. I liked Tara Holloway. Tara comes across as a strong, determined woman. I liked the ending, and it will make readers sigh with pleasure. I give Death, Taxes and a Satin Garter 4 out of 5 stars (I liked it). The book has good writing, nice pace, a little romance, and just the right amount of humor. This book has introduced me to a whole new series to read. I will be adding more books to my TBR list. I received a complimentary copy of Death, Taxes and a Satin Garter from NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press in exchange for an honest review. The comments and opinions expressed are strictly my own. I will always give a forthright and unbiased evaluation. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Can IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway break up a clever ring of tax cheats who love money, dishonor the IRS, and disobey the laws of justice? When Tara agreed to be her best friend's maid of honor, she knew it would be a ton of work. But planning a bachelorette party is a piece of (wedding) cake compared to her latest mission for the IRS. Her target is radio host Florence "Flo" Cash, star of "The Flo Cash Cash Flow Show." Not only has Flo been giving her listeners shady tax advice, she's set up an elaborate barter system that leaves Uncle Sam out of the equation--and Tara tied in knots...

Given all the reported numbers, it's hard to see how the station is even still afloat, even with Cash taking a minimum wage salary, much less with Cash living her very comfortable lifestyle. Where is the money coming from?
Meanwhile, Tara has another case also taking her attention, albeit with much less money involved. Three women have reported that they same man, whom they all met on an online dating site, has cheated them of $2,000 each, and disappeared. It' not much money, form the IRS perspective, and if she can find him and prove it he'll still probably get a slap on the wrist, but Tara hates predators who prey on lonely women like this. If she can find more victims, though, he could face serious penalties.
There's also an ongoing romance with another special agent, and the question of whether their demanding but respected boss is going to retire and who will succeed her.
The chase for the perps gets rather more physical than I would think is typical, but honestly, I have no idea what is typical for IRS special agents, and it is set in Dallas. Doesn't matter, though (unless you're an IRS special agent and your profession is being misrepresented); it's fun, fast-moving, and comes to a satisfying conclusion.
A good beach read.
