"Well, I figured this one out almost right from the start, but the story was still engrossing, and still a good one. Very bittersweet. I'm dreading the next one as it's the one that receives the lowest rating of other readers, but I'm hoping to come out of it with the series back on track." — â‚ (4 out of 5 stars)

“Like sipping sweet tea with your best frienda pleasant experience with a little Southern spunk. Readers will enjoy the stylish Southern ladies and the charming town of Zinnia.”
" A light read for a fun break. It would be even better if I could have read it by a sunny pool sipping a margarita! I love books that are set in Mississipi and this one is no exception. "
" Not what I expected. A very surprising ending, I liked it. "
" Good, but nothing too memorable. "
" Oh, Sarah Booth. You seem like a sharp, interesting woman with lots of talents. Why do you invest your energy in pursuing a married man with a sick wife? Stop complaining about his commitment to her and move on already! "
" Not as good as previous ones - the whole acting thing seems a bit hard to believe. Still a good story though and great supporting characters. Especially the animals. "
" Funny and charming. Little taste of the South. "
" Sarah Booth and Jitty are great! It's a quick read and has a fairly obvious solution but still very enjoyable. "
" Wonderful characters, fun story keeps me wanting more "
" First book of Haines that I have read. I jumped into the middle of a series but, enjoying it. Would like to get my hands on them all ans see what I have missed! "
" good summer reading - amusing "
" I always seem to start a book series in the middle or near the end. This is the 7th book in the Southern Belle series. It was a fun read. I will try to read some of the first books. "
" Another in a series about a southern lady PI. This time it involves a play performed in her small town. "
" Don't like as much as the earlier ones in the series. "
" The best so far. "
" I like this Auther. My mom has a lot of her book's. I like reading this book. "
" I really enjoy her characters--they are so full of spice! Makes me want to visit that part of Mississippi (the town may not exist but the county does). It's like visiting old friends...besides where else have you had a ghost interact with a main character on a regular basis? "
" I have loved the books in this series although I have to say this one was not as good as the rest. I think the character of Graf is more annoying than anything and it was pretty easy to guess where the story was going, but I still liked it and would recommend it. "
" Not the best one of Carolyn Haines' Bones-series but still worth reading. "
" Basic story line was good, but it dragged on. I just ended up skimming the last half of the book. "
" I am so glad I was born southern. I think it helps understand the witty and the workings of the local society. The author knows we southern women inside out. They are a joy to read. "
" I am not enjoying the last couple books in this series as much as I did the first few. I do like Sarah Booth and Tinkie but the escalating romantic angst has grown tiresome. The plots seem more and more improbable and there's more melodrama than humor. "
" I really enjoyed Sarah finally getting with a man in this story (woohoo!) Gaf is a awesome character. It does make me wonder if Carolyn's new husband inspired such a good man :) the mystery is tight and I really had no idea "who done it". It was a great read. "
" Cute easy read not deep -- extremely predictable but enjoyable none the less. "
" This was a slow read at first but get very interesting towards the middle and end. I like seeing Sarah taking a chance on something new. "
" I am less enamored of this series with each book. I find Sarah Booth selfish and self -indulgent and find myself not caring what happens to her. "
" More brain candy! I love Jitty and all the familar characters. All of the Bones books are good!! "
