Dixie Divas
Book 1 - The Dixie Divas Mystery Seriesby Virginia BrownFrom
LibraryThing Early Reviewer - due to a printer's error I received this earlier in the summer, but it was the wrong book in the right cover. This is the corrected version.
Middle-aged and divorced, Trinket Truevine moves home to live with her aging parents in genteel and historic Cherry Hill, Mississippi. The Dixie Divas, a rowdy group of local belles, embrace her like a long lost sister. Trinket and the Divas soon find themselves in the middle of a murder mystery surrounding the death of their pal Bitty's ex-husband, a philandering senator. Fun, fast-paced and very Southern.
The Cart Before the CorpseBook 1 - A Merry Abbot Carriage Driving Mystery
by Carolyn McSparrenFrom
LibraryThing Early Reviewer, a bonus book for the error with
The Dixie Divas book.
Hiram Lackland is an internationally famous Southern carriage-horse trainer and a handsome widower who dies mysteriously after retiring to a farm outside Mossy Creek. His estranged daughter, Merry Abbot, also a horse trainer, arrives to solve the crime. Can Merry rein in the truth? What kind of horse play was her rakish dad involved in, and why would someone want to giddy-yup him into an early grave? (I did not make up those cute little quips!) :)

I hope you chuckle over Dixie Divas as much as I did. That Cart before the Corpse looks good. I got Critters of Mossy Creek from the publisher. There must be a lot of books set there. Have a great week and happy reading.

ReplyDeleteEvery time I see the Vampire Academy book I do a double take because the girl on the cover looks a little bit like Angelina Jolie to me.
