Synopsis (Goodreads):
Something has gone foul in the Black Hills … something gravely unnatural. Leave it to Violet Parker to stumble into the middle of it.
A creepy phone call. A dead body. Two meddling detectives. A glut of trouble-making ex-partners. Can things get any worse?

Violet swears to keep her nose out of police business this time. But when her son is linked to the victim, she returns to the scene of the crime. More than just a mystery to solve, now her son might be in mortal danger.
Thoughts on An Ex to Grind in Deadwood: I missed a book in the series during my initial read so I went back and read it. This caused a little internal confusion for me because, you know, I know some of the things that come later with Violet and her crew. But I persevered and (as always) got such a kick out of Violet and all the crazy things she ends up in the middle of.

THAT LADY!

Anywho. Unsurprisingly (especially to poor, beleaguered Coop), Violet stumbles over a dead body while doing her thing around town. Shenanigans ensue, her douchebaggy ex brings new meaning to the word "Ewwww", and ... well, Violet's friends and family batten down the hatches and do everything they need to do to support her.

Violet has some good friends. And mostly good family. You know, if you exclude her sister and the ex.

These books are always a fun kick in the pants, so Violet, Doc, and the others were a welcome break from reality. Even with dead bodies, supernatural goings on, and ghosts who are a little dental obsessed. GOOD STUFF!
