Review: This is my first foray into the Rose Strickland series, but I don't think that it will be my last. Not only Rose, but also the supporting characters who surround her as this story plays out, are so much fun to get to know. Roxy and Sugar are hilarious, as is Ma Ferguson.
The mystery is very well developed, leaving the reader guessing at the identity of the murderer throughout the book. The characters are realistically written and believable. When Rose gets jealous of Roxy's budding friendship with Sugar, which is cutting into the time Roxy and Rose spend together, the reader can feel her pain.
I would definitely recommend this book, and the series, for anyone looking for a quick, enjoyable read.
