Smart Woman (In a Real Short Skirt)
Calling all parrot-heads! This anthology features 16 short crime stories from 16 different authors, each based on a song from a different Jimmy Buffett album. Isabella's contribution, “Smart Woman (in a Real Short Skirt),” is based on a song of that title from the 1988 album, Hot Water, from MCA Records.
The lyrics of Buffett’s song describe a man searching for his ideal woman—one with beauty and brains. Isabella's take on the lyrics involves a character named Donovan Snell, an international arms smuggler based in Miami who is up to his eyeballs in crime, corruption, and treachery. When you’re deep in hot water, it's hard to tell who to trust.
