Product Description

Cookie cutter mystery,
By R.O. Despain (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leading an Elegant Death (Paperback)
With the series stopped at three and all of those out of print, it's probably beating a dead horse to add another unfavorable review. But the characters are die-cut cardboard, the dialog is sometimes painful to read, and the mystery and detection are slight.If this series accurately reflects contemporary small-town Alabama life, I can only be even more grateful for my great-great-grandfather's decision to leave the state in the 1830s.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Fun,
This review is from: Leading an Elegant Death (Paperback)
This is a fun first book for this author. Lots of zany characters add interest. Sort of a mixture of characters from Joan Hess' Maggody series mixed with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and Lulu. Hillary and Jane are a mixmatched pair who form an unlikely duo to solve a murder. Hillary is a generic version of Martha Stewart, but much more likeable. Just like Stephanie and Lulu they go about this in the most unorthodox manner and characters are added that are reminiscent of some of the citizens of Maggody. Add in a good looking detective, a smart young daughter, and an ex-husband who everyone knows because he's from the South and you have the ingredients for a fun fast moving book. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
