Release Bitz for THEY CALL HER DIRTY SALLY by Amy Matayo

Release Date: August 2

“For years, the town of Silver Bell, Arkansas has quietly mourned the hospital fire that claimed the lives of nine of its residents—the town doctor, a young expectant mother, and seven infants. So, when journalist Finn Hardwick is assigned the story as part of a national thirtieth anniversary

memorial service, he arrives at the town ready to interview its residents, thinking they’ll be willing and eager to make headlines.

 He isn’t prepared for the resistance. Or for what appears to be a collective unwillingness to answer questions. 

 Faced with one roadblock after another, Finn enlists the help of Billi Ellis, the young motel receptionist that everyone in the town seems to like. Maybe she can get them to open up to him. Maybe she can help him make sense of everything he keeps uncovering. Especially the unexpected tie this tragedy appears to have to his own life.

 A tie that leads him directly to the old woman who seems to hold the key to everything. The woman everyone avoids…the woman they call “dirty”…the woman who hasn’t spoken a word to anyone since the day the hospital burned."

Review:

After reading the blurb, I knew I had to read They Call Her Dirty Sally.  They Call Her Dirty Sally is different from what I usually read, but it was a good read.  Finn is a reporter assigned to write a story about a hospital fire for the thirtieth anniversary.  It should be easy, but the town has secrets and few people willing to talk.  Billi is a hotel clerk where Finn is staying.  She's sweet, friendly, and a little quirky.  Billi agrees to help Finn.  I liked Finn and Billi working together.  They only find a few people willing to talk about the fire, but all arrows point to Sally.  Sally lives in town and almost everyone calls her Dirty Sally.  No one believes her and most treat her poorly.  Sally's story is sad and her story pulls Finn in.  I loved the ending; it was perfect.  

4 Stars!!
