John A. and Marguerite E. W. (aliennightbird) reviewed on 4/30/2009 + 40 more book reviews

As usual, I enjoyed this lastest instalment in the "Thoroughly Southern Mystery" series. The characters are strong, the plot multi-faceted with good clues woven throughout, the narrative draws a variety of emotion, including surprising sadness in places, and the writing style is readable with decent attention to detail.

However, I wanted to wring Joe Riddley's neck in this story. His intentions may have been for the best, so he says, but his solution was...grrrr. (No spoilers!)

This ending of the book appears to show a turning point in the series...or is this the end. I hope not.
