I have read alot of series reads, and i am gonna say i love this one the most. I am just finishing book three and have ordered the rest. I love Jitty the ghost and the Mississippi Delta theme. I love the home and the same "family" of friends in each story with a little new added here and there. It is so comfortable. There is always a murder to solve and you will never know who did it until the end. I also love "Sweetie Pie", the hound dog. This is such an easy series to fall into that i personally hope it never ends.

Second in a series. I didn't read the first one yet. Some good characters and I am sure they will be fleshed out more as the series moves along. I enjoyed it. Southern High Society girl turns into a PI.

Mystery novel with a ghost! Southern charm!
Helpful Score: 1
This book is the second in the series about Sarah Booth Delaney, a P.I. by chance, a southern girl by birth, and a colorful character who inhabits the family home along with the ghost of her great grandmother's maid, Jitty. Sarah Booth always manages to solve her interesting cases, but not before getting into all kinds of trouble. The characters in the small southern town are well-developed, there is a bit of romance, a lot of comedy, and this is another enjoyable read from Carolyn Haines. I am looking forward to continuing this series.

Ambrose taunts his dinner guests with the tell-all book he's writing. Since each of his guests has a secret, the morning-after mess includes the author. Sara Booth, savvy southern belle, needs to solve the crime with a little help from her bossy ghost.

This is my first read by this author. I've been reading cozy mysteries for years, but this one has a something special, including humor and great Southern ambiance. Good book, I enjoyed reading it.

This series is a really fun read. A totally different PI, but there's a little resemblance to Stephanie Plum. Not as good as that series, but still a worthwhile, enjoyable series.

When Lawrence Ambrose plans a delectable tell-all and taunts his dinner guests with the news that this book will blow the lid of Zinnia, Mississippi, it is up to Sarah Booth Delaney to dig for answers. Second in the Mississippi Delta series.

If you read the original, Dem Bones, the sequel is just as quirky and off-the-wall. I wish there were more in the series.

A perfect southern mystery. See review for Them Bones for more detail.
This is a really cute cosy mystery! The heroine with a ghost as a sounding board. I look forward to reading Haines others in this series.
Good Fun Read.
Love these books. They are funny - has great southern humor- as well as suspenseful.
As always, love this series! Fun, different and interesting plus lots of "whats?!?!"
This book is by the author of Them Bones, which I have not read. This book held my interest and I enjoyed it. I read it in two nights.
Carolyn Haines is one of the most engaging writers of Southern Delta cozies that I have fallen in love with in a while. The content of her books is rich and engaging and you won't be disappointed. it's well-written, with lively, vivid characters and realistic dialogue, in addition to a good mystery plot. Highly Recommend!
I liked this story. We see additional character building of Sarah Booth the main character; a developing Sweetie Pie, age old secrets abound with supplemental characters, murder and a fairly fast pace to the events. I did not want to put it down.
Must read Sarah Booth Delaney series in orger. A laugh every other page. Made me wish I grew up in the south. Plot is interesting. A good who done it, keeps you guessing til the end.
