      It was quite a gripping part of the series, but I hated the ending, and where it's going. I don't think the main character should have given up on the sheriff Coleman, as he NEVER gave up on her, no matter how it seemed. She should have forgiven and forgotten!
      I also think it's DUMB that the main character may be moving to Hollywood to pursue her acting dreams. HOW is that going to keep her investigative company going? How is that going to keep her around the Delta, which she supposedly loves so much, that she couldn't live without? that's what we've been told, over and over.. and now she's leaving. BOO.
      Don't know if I will read the next book or not any time soon, and I own it. :-",,,1,,,0,,,,,896915,Bones To Pick (Sarah Booth Delaney

      Well, I figured this one out almost right from the start, but the story was still engrossing, and still a good one. Very bittersweet. I'm dreading the next one as it's the one that receives the lowest rating of other readers, but I'm hoping to come out of it with the series back on track.
    • 3/5
      Charming as usual, though not my favorite in the series. I figured out the "whodunnit" pretty early on - which is fine - but more than that, the story overall wasn't as cohesive and engaging as others. Also, Sarah Booth has suitors coming out the wazoo - I'm glad the Coleman situation has reached a resolution of sorts...
    • 5/5
      The entire cast and crew of the Broadway hit "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" are coming to Zinnia to appear at The Club after a category 5 hurricane destroyed the venue they were scheduled to perform in on the Mississippi Gulf coast. Sarah Booth Delaney isn't looking forward to seeing Graf Mileau, her old flame from her New York acting days, nor is she eager to renew her acquaintance with Renata Troviola, the temperamental diva and leading lady of the play. In fact, Sarah Booth thinks Renata is still every bit the bitch she knew and hated in New York, and Graf will only serve to complicate her already confusing relationship with Sheriff Coleman Peters. The director asks Sarah Booth to be Renata's understudy, a role she's played before and hated, but she agrees reluctantly. When Renata is found dead before the second act, all available clues point the finger of blame directly at Sarah Booth. As she steps onto the stage to give the performance of her life as Maggie the Cat, Sarah Booth is arrested by Coleman and charged with Renata's murder. It will be up to Sarah's friend and PI partner, Tinkie, to find the one thread that will unravel the case against Sarah before she finds herself playing for time in the Mississippi Women's Prison for the rest of her life.Another excellent installment in the Sarah Booth Delaney saga, and this one changes just about everything about Sarah's life. I won't spoil it for those who haven't read this series, but I will say that it wouldn't have surprised me if this wasn't the last book in the series. But, a web search reassured me that #8 was released this past June, so the story will go on. Good. I'd hate to say goodbye to Sarah Booth Delaney.

      It met my expectations except.... somewhere around page 75 I figured out the murder and I thought Sarah Booth should have, too.
    • 4/5
      Sarah Booth Delaney has a chance to live out her dream of stardom when a road show of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" gets diverted to her hometown Zinnia following a hurricane that destroyed the original venue. Sarah Booth gets reacquainted with old flame, leading man Graf and leading lady, Renata. Sarah Booth had understudied Renata in New York so it was only natural that she is asked to do the same for this production. She is not too concerned, everyone knows Renata would rather die than miss a performance. Which is exactly what she does, die. Now Sarah Booth is the leading lady and the leading suspect in the murder. I have really enjoyed this series, but this outing takes on a definitely darker tone. Of course it is a first person narative and Sarah Booth is a suspect for murder, but she has definitely lost some of her humor and optimism in this book. I found myself wanting to give her a good shake.All and all, pretty good with an interesting ending.
