" Fun, trip to small-town in east Texas, great characters and good mystery. "
— Lynne, 10/5/2013" Not a great book, but the slow pace of a small town in East Texas a welcome contrast from the hectic pace of most mystery novels. I had the audiobook version, and as an East Texan myself can testify the accents were perfect. "
— Kendall, 9/13/2013" Nancy Bell's mysteries are light and often cozy. I'm adding this a year or two later, and I can't remember one thing about the plot...it's obviously forgettable. I read the audio version. "

— Jeanette, 6/25/2012" Not thrilled with this. There was lots of referred to deviant sex (adult raping child, child prostitute, etc.), that didn't really link to the plot. I found it unnecessary and distasteful. "
