From Library Journal

After a nosy mailman's habit of spreading other people's secrets results in his murder, series sleuth Biggie Weatherford decides to "help" the police chief. After all, it's grandson J.R. who finds the body. Spirited and witty fun.
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Kirkus Reviews

Who better than to serve as the latest homicide victim in the rapidly emptying hamlet of Jobs Crossing, Texas, than Luther Abernathy, who never skipped a day on his mail route because of all the secrets he might pass up by not opening the mail he delivered? And who better to get to the bottom of the ensuing down-home mystery, broadly jocose without a speck of subtlety, than that Most Important Personage, J.R. Wootens formidable grandmother Biggieeven if you end up wondering why some nosey gossips have to die while others get to return for their fourth starring role (Biggie and the Fricasseed Fat Man, 1998, etc.)? -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Great book with lots of local flavor! Biggie Rules!, Mars 23 2004
Par Terry Mathews (a small town in east Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   

This is my first Nancy Bell book, but it won't be my last. Growing up in a small town in east Texas, I recognized some of the names (Mount Vernon - Scroggins Road) and I could just close my eyes as see Biggie, her grandson J.R., their maid and voodoo priestess Willie Mae and her husband Rosebud as they went about their daily lives.

Toss in a dead mailman, a very sunburned state senator and a group of renegades ready to declare independence (again) for the sovereign state of Texas and you have a whopping good tale.

The story is told through 13 year old J.R.'s eyes and his observation skills are keen and usually right on. Other than a couple of violent moments, this would be a great book to read out loud with your children.

Nancy Bell has taken her east Texas memories and put them down on paper for everyone to enjoy. There are more "Biggie" books and I intend to read them all. I can't believe the series isn't more popular.

Enjoy!

4.0étoiles sur 5 Welcome to the Time Warp, Juil 22 2003
I am still not sure exactly WHY I am reading these books. No stranger to the time warp of East Texas, these books capture some of that essence but are really just "too" homespun sometimes. Grandmother Biggie (about as big as a minute) is raising grandson J.R. with the help of Willa May (cook/voodoo priestess) and her husband Rosebud (handyman and teller of tall tales). In this installment, the noisy mailman sticks his nose into danger on a number of counts and before the story ends another character will bite the dust too. Corrupt politicians, a mystery pitcher, hate driven militia (roughly based on the Republic of Texas), and someone who is certainly something quite different from what it seems. The story travels all over the place with plenty of stops for down home eating, detecting, and some tension building. Light, frothy and silly; homespun and harried.
