pickAn old friend turns up on the Ducote sisters' doorstep, convinced her family are trying to kill her. Unfortunately, the family soon figures out where she's gone and follow, straining the sisters' hospitality to its limits, and that's before the deaths start.
First in a spin-off series. I could definitely have done with a family tree to keep Rosabelle's family straight in my mind.
so-soI picked this book for complete escapism and easy reading, and it did deliver that. However the story line felt forced (really? Your sorority sister you haven‘t seen in 40 years shows up with her entire extended family and you just let them stay?) and the ending was kind of bonkers. Can‘t give it a pick, but also will probably read more of the series next time I‘m in a similar mood.
pickThis was a fun #cozymystery featuring two 80+ year old sisters in a small Southern town. Solid characters, well paced, twisting murder plot, and cute animals. #ILoveCozies
so-soI‘ve been trying to make some friends in my new town and I found a cozy mystery book club on meetup.com. They were reading this for the August meeting. I read it and unfortunately I didn‘t find it very good. It was fast-moving and engaging, but the resolution of the mystery happened in the last 2 pages and the motive was weak. I ended up not going to the meeting because the book was so frustrating to me. I prefer more realistic mysteries I guess.
Litsy November photo challenge. Best of November
I think this was my favorite book of the month.
pickI really enjoyed this new series by Miranda James. It is a spin off from the Cat in the Stacks series. Desiel the Maine Coon cat is the connecting character. Desiel needs cat sitting and so enters An'gel and Dickce two elderly sisters in town with several unexpected visitors who bring murder with them. Using their souther charm and hospitality the two sisters set out to solve who is killing their guests, and even worse showing very bad manners .
pickThe family was as obnoxious as can be but the mystery was great. The sisters from the Cat in the Stacks series are fun protagonists for this spinoff.
pickTwo genteel southern ladies dealing with not-so-genteel murder in their home, and a large Maine Coon cat giving character references. A fun read, although I tend to like a bit more explanation at the end of murder mysteries.
