Publisher Description
The author of more than a dozen novels, Carolyn Haines is the recipient of the Richard Wright Award for Literary Excellence. Depressed after losing her unborn child, PI Sarah Booth Delaney distracts herself by checking out a beauty pageant with her friend and partner, Tinkie. This works fine-until the pageant's top contender is poisoned. The prime murder suspect asks Sarah and Tinkie to investigate, and they agree-but their decision has grave consequences.

"Another great installment in the Mississippi Delta girls series. I love the way Carolyn Haines keeps you guessing in the stories, and the way she continues to develop and grow her characters. Nothing stale, nothing rote, a good mystery with fun/interesting characters with some really interesting history of the Mississippi Delta region."
— Denise (5 out of 5 stars)

" THe author has made Jitty a much less central character in the series...I don't like it anymore :-( "

" Yup these books are still fun! "

" quick, light-- perfect for holiday weekend! "

" This is the latest in a series of books about a female private investigator who has returned to her ancestral home in the deep South. Although not a book that calls for deep introspection, I enjoyed meeting some of the town's "characters" again, including a "haint" from the Civil War era. "
— Kathleen, 2/3/2014 -
" I love Chick lit - but this just didn't cut it. I didn't care about the characters. I didn't FEEL anything. I would have quick reading half way through, but I felt obligated to finish so I could post here! "
— Janae, 1/31/2014 -
" Meh. The central mystery was okay but the "character development" was glacially slow and boring. Also, the ending was sudden and unconvincing. I do love Tinkie and Jitty still, and Oscar has really grown on me. Everyone else was just flat and unamusing. "
— Joanna, 1/25/2014 -
" Great read with Sarah Booth Delaney= love it I hope there will be more. "
— Tammy, 1/23/2014 -
" What an enjoyable story! This was a fun and very clever mystery where the beauty pageant contestants kept getting killed off or injured, one by one. I had to keep reading to find out "who dunnit." "
— Tina, 1/20/2014 -
" Love these fun, MS Delta set books! "
— Rosemary, 1/12/2014 -
" can Sarah cook? read on! mystery and desert all in one book! "
— Jennifer, 1/7/2014 -
" I think I liked this one the least of all the books in the series. The plot was good, but I missed Zinnia and the ending was a bit of a stretch - even for a series with a ghost in it. Still, this series is a favorite and I'm looking forward to future books. "

" Another entry in the Sarah Booth Delaney mystery series, and perhaps one of the best. It had me a little teary eyed with the insights into Sarah Booth's depression after she was hurt so bad in the previous book. We got to see just how strong Sarah Booth is, and Tinkie too. "
— Anna, 7/28/2013 -
" Latest in a fun series. "
— Cindy, 4/25/2013 -
" Another winner for author Carolyn Haines! I am torn between Sarah Booth's love interests-Graf + Coleman, I like them both but prefer Coleman who truly understands the woman-her ancestry and the lay-of-land and how important these are to Sarah Booth. Ah well.... "
— Laura, 11/2/2012 -
" If you live in the South, you'll recognize Sara Booth Delaney. This series is mystery, light and funny; Sarah Booth grows on you. Carolyn Haines has come up with a winning series of easy reads. "
— Souzen, 8/19/2012 -
" Really like Carolyn's books - just requested the entire lot of them from the Library. "
— Ann, 8/14/2012 -
" A little bit over the top and kitchy but good light fun as usual. "
— Anita, 6/11/2012 -
" Not as enjoyable as others in this series. Just didn't really care what happened to anybody in this one. "
— Biblophile, 5/1/2012 -
" Absolutely loved this series of her books .... can hardly wait for the next one to be released! :) "
— Gina, 4/6/2012 -
" I just love these books - they're funny, easy, entertaining reads. "
— Catie, 2/23/2012 -
" The ending was terrible. It was a little out there and I thought cheesy. "
— Katrin, 1/25/2012 -
" A delicious little light mystery involving a beauty contest in the Mississippi Delta. Who wouldn't want to be Miss Viking Range of Greenwood, MS? Two old friends dabble in sleuthing to the concern of their significant others. A good vacation read. "
— Kitty, 12/30/2011 -
" Not my favorite book in this series. This one was just a bit too far fetched for me. "
— Linnea, 10/18/2011 -
" Funny, funny, funny! As the insert says inside, it is a Stephanie Plum meets Murder She Wrote. This book is part of a series, so I am starting the series from #1. Good author! "
