The Darling Dahlias and the Naked Ladies Audiobook

" I was excited to get this second book of the Darling Dahlias as I didn’t know it existed! Like Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber tree Ms. Albert does a great job with the setting and details of small town daily life during the depression . But like all “cozy” mysteries there is trouble afoot that the garden club ladies join in solving. I’m so glad to have found ABS—downloads to my pc are so easy and within minutes they’re on my MP3 player and an enjoyable story begins! "

" Love the time period and the characters. Enjoyable, quick read. "

" Just started it this evening. Good so far. Plot is a little flimsy, but I like the characters. Many snickers when Libby deals with her mother. Pleasant way to spend some time. "

" Charming little cozy read. Have to say it was like Mayberry in the Andy Griffith Show, except during the Depression of the 30's. No wonder the town is named Darling! "

" I liked the second book better than the first in this new series, probably because I was comfortable with the characters after having just read the first book! There is an advantage to waiting for book two before reading book one...in some cases. Enjoyed the characters and still fun reading about the 30's. "Big Berta, a 1920 green Chevrolet touring car, was ten years old and on her fifth set of tires and her second carburator, but she still had a good many miles left in her. Driving was pleasant because the canvas-topped touring car had no side curtains, admitting a breeze." I just liked thinking about that, a much simplier time, one could fix a car themselves; no computers on board! No side curtains could have admitted flying things and of course, and there were no paved roads in this town in the 30's so driving was leisurely but still faster than walking or biking. "

" Not a series that is going to interest me. I think that I will stick with the China Bayles Mysteries. "

" Big fan of this new series! "

" This is the second in a series of "cozy mysteries". This book is an enjoyable piece of fluff that does a good job of telling the stories of the character's lives. Though it is a bit slow moving I found it enjoyable. "

" This is the second book in the Darling Dahlias series. Love the characters and reading about the Depression era. It's a good book. "

" I love SWA's new series that is a gentle look at a Southern town, Darling, Alabama, in the depression era. She has done a great amount of research on how things were then--the cultural history of the time. "

" What a great book! Can't wait for the next one! "

" Pleasant read. continuing story line "

" Total fluff, but not bad. "

" Like Susan Wittig Alberts characters and the depression era setting was interesting. "

" I usually don't like "period" themes, but this one is good! "

" I love the charm of these novels. "

" I love this author and whatever she writes! "

" I just couldn't get into this series. "

" This book is hilarious. Set during the 1930's in a little town in Alabama. The book was a fast read and kept me interested. A couple of times, I laughed out loud. I am glad the author put the recipes at the end of the book. I would recommend! "

" (library)Set in Alabama, 1930. Not China Bayles. WAY too "cozy." (and altho' roughly accurate on 1930 details, wrong when she has somebody light up a Marlboro. That brand didn't come along til the 1950s.) "

" I love these southern ladies who are so strong and stick together! This is a fun light read. "
