The story starts out with the arrival to the small town Delphi, South Dakota of young and handsome Charles, a Mormon missionary. He immediately catches the eye of man-hungry Delphine, main character Tory Bauer's friend and housemate. Del has a very large and very jealous boyfriend, Deputy Big Dick Albrecht. So when Charles the missionary turns up dead in the closet of the Delphi Cafe where Del and Tory both work, Tory naturally supposes that Big Dick let his jealous anger go too far. However, boot prints lead Deputy Albrecht to another suspect, the loser, druggie boyfriend of another of Delphi’s waitresses. Is the druggie the murderer as the evidence seems to suggest or is Big Dick setting the boy up to take the fall?
The plot is a little hard to follow, but I still enjoyed the story very much. I just like Tory Bauer. She’s smart, chubby, over-forty and a waitress, all good things as far as I am concerned.
