Probably need to read the others first,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deathday Party (Paperback)
I was extremely disappointed in this book. It was more like a gothic than a standard mystery. I found Hillary -- who, I assume, is supposed to be a sort of send-up of Martha Stewart -- bizarre with her decorating tips at the oddest moments. She wasn't the least bit realistic. And, as a native Southerner, I was expecting more development of that angle, which didn't happen (at least, not in any good way). But I think my unhappiness may be because I missed the character development earlier in the series. I imagine I should have started with the first book.

Can't wait for "Red Wine"!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deathday Party (Paperback)
I've read both of Paula Carter's new mysteries, Leading an Elegant Death and Death Day Party, and I can't wait for the next episode of Hillary and Jane, the most unlikely crime solving duo yet. Ms. Carter has a deft and masterful touch in creating characters whose foibles could quickly make them unsympathetic to the reader. However, both hilarious Martha Stewart take-off, Hillary, and domestically challenged Jane immediately capture our imagination, as do many of the minor characters, such as Billy the burglar, and Jane's young daughter who is sometimes more level-headed than her mother. This is a quick, fun mystery romp in magnolia country. Loved it.
