"Most of my family think it's funny that I would like a book about a bunch of old ladies. But my favorite books are almost always funny ones, and this one (and all the books in this series) is extremely funny! I Daresay, more of Lori Copeland's books are likely to appear on my list. :)"

" It got a little boring half-way through it, but then it really picked up. A really cute and snug mystery, and great humor. Four Stars; Lily "
— Lily, 1/13/2014" A nice Christian Cozy mystery. Great women roles, very human who suffer lifes bumps but they become strong as the book comes along. Like real life!! "
— Susan, 12/15/2013" I thought the storyline was darling, but the first half was long, mopey, and seemed awfully repetitive to me. I longed for the actual story to start. The idea was very cute, just wish it developed a bit quicker. Still I think I'll read the next book in her series and see if it picks up. "
— Trinna, 12/12/2013" Poorly written or edited, many inconsistencies. Frances was described as having jet-black hair and then as having white hair. Maude complained about the dogs ruining her carpet and then later said it didn't matter because she had hardwood floors only to later remark about the carpets. Uggh... "
— Kelly, 11/18/2013" This book is well written. I also had a good laugh or two. "
— Mikie, 11/13/2013" and entertaining read. "
— Julie, 1/15/2013" It was a fun book - not a classic, but fun! "
— Nicole, 9/11/2011" Fun, tongue-in-cheek, mystery. I'm ready for the next one. "
— DeeAnn, 12/8/2010" The main character, Maude, is a bit heavy on the "Poor Me" and the "God loves us all so much we just have to trust him and be like him" cards, which kind of clash.... but Stella is a hoot! "
— Dianna, 6/8/2010" This series is highly recommended. I LOVED it. If your looking for adventure and lots and lots of laughs this is the series for you. It actually made me Laugh out Loud. "
— Kathy, 4/12/2010" Cute but a bit whiny and preachy in spots. I listened to this audio book and I always feel that the reader's voice influences my reaction to the book. "
— Susie, 10/31/2009" Uh, well it's humorous in some aspects but a little too "holy roller" for me. I didn't realize that the author is known for her Christian books. "
— Angie, 10/25/2009" Author surprised me with a delightfully funny, witty and down to earth 'comedy' that reveals real people and real feelings. "
— Diane, 9/27/2009" I thought this book was quite interesting and funny. I am a teenager, and this book kept my eyes glued to the pages. I've read all three. "
— Phoebe, 7/29/2008" It was very boring. I listened to the audio version. The performer voice didn't add anything. The monther-in-law was the only interesting character. The others were monotonous. "
— Denisec, 4/2/2008" Once you begin reading this series you don't want to stop! The characters are well defined, and start to seem like family! "
