"I really like this series and will be sorry to see it end with the next book. I've grown to enjoy Lily's character and the plots involving the residents of Shakespeare. This particular book involved the citizens of Shakespeare more than the others (I thought) and it was even more fun to read." — Elizabeth (4 out of 5 stars)

" Lilly really grew on me :) I love this series, wish there were more books to read... ~ The mystery is nice, but I like the narration and the characters much more! Lilly's thought process is so different from mine and it's always fun to be in her head ;) "
" Wow! I really didn't see that ending coming! "
" Another good one, builds on the previous 3, so this is definitely a series to read in order. The mystery is a bit more convoluted, though. "
" Not as good as her other novels just a fairly good read with no real excitement. "
" I really enjoy the Lily Bard series and this one didn't disappoint. In this installment Lily finds the body of the local loose girl and along with that comes a lot of self examination and surprising revelations about her own nature and healing process. "
" I enjoyed the Lily Bard series and would have liked for Charlaine Harris to extend it. "
" The mystery itself is pretty interesting and I like how Lily's character develops in this one. "
" I really love Lilly Bard! "
" It is great seeing development in the story and characters. "
" Probably my least favorite of the series. I like Lily better when she's cold and hard. She got a little mushy in this one. "
" Quick read. The series is getting better. I like that CH always makes her female heroines survivors - I always like "self-rescuing princesses." :) "
" Totally did not see that one coming! Loved it! "
" Only one more in this lily bard series to go! "
" I really enjoyed this series by Charlaine Harris so I am sorry to be coming to the end of it. "
" Last book in this series, so far. Satisfying romance and mystery. I didn't sneak to the back of the bookto see whodunit so was quite surprised. Great author. "
" Must confess to quite enjoying Charlaine Harris's mysteries. "
" #4 in Lily Bard series. Love this series, but this was my least favorite. A promiscuous woman, Deedra is found dead in her car. She is left naked so that the nature of her death will be assumed foul play caused by one of her boyfriends. The plot seemed implausible to me. "
" Again, Charlaine Harris without the vampires! "
" Very sad to be at the end of this story I want more of Lilly & Jack "
" I am really enjoying the Lily Bard series. I missed the Christmas one, so I felt a little lost in reading this. "
" A nice, even read. Good plot, strong characters, not quite as dark as the two previous Lily Bard books. The mystery was well written and left room to show some interesting character development. A good rainy-day read. "
" Another great book in this series. I enjoy watching Lily grow as a person by letting go of her past and grabbing her future. "
" Set down South, Lily is a housecleaner with a bucket load of personal issues. She finds a body and of course is one of the prime suspects. None of the characters are particularly likeable. Read it one afternoon though so it does hold one's interest. "
" well done if a bit violent-at a remove "
" Love it. Love Lily Bard. Love her guy. Love Charlaine Harris! "
" I really loved this book. It had a great surprise ending, although I was kind of piecing it together as I went along. I had an idea who the killer was, but it just didn't make sense. Well done Charlaine! "
" Oh no . . . only one more book to go in the series! I think I'm hooked--especially on how Lily seems to overcome her past adversity even more in each book. "
" As a fan of Charlaine Harris This was one series I haven't updated. I am glad I had a chance to read more. I like that Lily has become more open and at the same time finding herself a bit lost because of that. The mystery was interesting, too. Nice fast easy listening! "
