Older sisters could get to be a little too stuffy otherwise.

This looks like a charming cozy mystery. I would keep reading. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm attracted to everything about this book: the cover, the relationship between the sisters, the author's conversational voice. This sounds like a Southern cozy I'd enjoy a lot.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features LATE FALL.
I've read another book from another series by this author and enjoyed it but this one looks even better! My garden has done nothing this year so maybe I can live vicariously through this one!
ReplyDeleteThe names bugged me LOL
