      The Courage To Be Happy

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather

      Two Southern women have their own PI agency,when then are dragged into murder investigation. The sexy brother of the women thought to be the killer hires them ti find the real killer. He has a lusty heart and a wicked gifting mind for one of the ladies. Some funny gift's and moments here, he is my favorite character. There are twists and turn everywhere, along with death and danger.

      I thought this was another great book in a great series - one of those series I would like to 'upgrade' to Hardcover eventually. I was pleased by the ending of the book and even though I'd guessed whodunnit early I was so wrapped up in the story itself I didn't care at all. I have to say though that having read the synopsis of the upcoming books, and not seeing mention a relationship I've starting cheering for, I'm hesitant to keep going with the series. I get so wrapped up in the lives of the characters I resent being disappointed when it happens. :) I might take a break from this series for a bit before continuing.

      Cute as always - only in the South is it conceivable to have a murderer preying on lapsed debutantes for social infractions. In any event, it's always a pleasure to go on a journey with Sarah Booth and Tinkie (and Jitty), though this was not my favorite - at a certain point in a series it's necessary to flesh out the characters a little more, which is what is really going on in this book, but what I've enjoyed most about this series is that they are decidedly fluffy.

      Hawt Dayum! This is such a good series. And I've only read two of them! Now there's a whole lot that's happened between book one, THEM BONES (my review), and book 6, so I will be going back to catch up. I meant to read the series in order, but this one popped up on my wishlist on RecordedBooks and I couldn't wait to spend time with Sarah Booth and her buddy Tinkie and the rest of the crowd. I adore Sarah Booth. She calls it as she sees it, recognizes a bitch when she sees one and is ready to help a friend whether the friend realizes she needs help or not. Sarah Booth and Tinkie are hired to find the killer of a local girl who wrote a scathing tell-all book about her community of wealthy high society folk. Everyone is a suspect and it's up to Sarah Booth and Tinkie to find the real killer. Things start to accelerate and my jaw dropped when the killer was revealed.I do love Sarah Booth, but my favorite character in this book was Tinkie. She has some emotional turmoil of her own to get through and wants to get through it on her own, but she still is out there with Sarah Booth investigating. And she is so funny and I kept wanting to reach in the book and hug her. She and Sarah Booth are women I admire, tough and sweet and I always imagine them wearing a strand or two of pearls. And are willing to call a bitch a bitch. Five Southern sweet tea diamonds.....and a big ol' string of pearls.....

      Sarah Booth Delaney has barely had time to recover from her exciting trip to New Orleans where she wowed them at the Black and Orange Halloween Ball -- and solved a murder while she was at it -- when she discovers the body of a young woman face down in the mud in a cold cotton field while out for a run with her horse and hound. The murdered girl is Quentin McGee, the author of a recently released tell-all blockbuster book that strips the veils away from nearly every family in the Delta and exposes their deepest and darkest secrets for public titillation. Quentin's lover, Allison Tatum, has been arrested for the murder and her playboy brother Humphrey has hired Sarah Booth and her partner Tinkie Richmond to prove her innocence. But Humphrey has more on his mind that just clearing his little sister's name and Sarah learns pretty quickly that it's going to take all her grit and a good deal of attention to keep him at bay. Nearly every family that Sarah Booth knows has at least one member who have ample motive to kill Quentin after her scathing book hits the streets, and just to add a bit of spice to the mix, Quentin was set to inherit the family fortune the day AFTER she was killed. From illicit lovers and outraged families to slandered aristocrats, everyone is a suspect -- and no one is safe.Another pleasant visit with Sarah Booth and Jitty, the resident ghost of Dahlia House. The back story is brought to the forefront in a rather chilling way in this episode, making me eager to get my hands on the next one. Haines has created a very human heroine with wit and worries in Sarah Booth Delaney. I really do enjoy getting to spend a bit of time with her at Dahlia House.
