The Tea-Olive Bird Watching Society Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Pretty good story about a group of friends in small town Georgia who have each other's back no matter what. Kinda reminds me of Steel Magnolias in some ways... "

" A little slow but not a bad read "

" I really, really liked this book and all the characters. Must read more of these Tea-Olive mysteries! "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this story! I read it in one day. The characters are fun and crazy. The plot moves quickly. The author depicts the manners of southern ladies so vividly. Ideals of friendship and loyalty are valued highly. I could picture this as a stage play, a farce, like the writings of Moliere! "

" I couldn't finish it -- just skimmed the last third or so! It had some promise, but the villain was a cardboard cartoon, and therefore the entire novel suffered. I suppose it was supposed to be an ultimately "feel good" read -- after all, good triumphs over evil! But getting there was a drag. There wasn't enough humor to make it feel like "Arsenic and Old Lace" (a wonderful romp!), nor enough drama to make it a good suspense novel. Just maddening fluff. And ultimately, a waste of good reading time! Too bad. The setting -- small southern town -- was good. But not enough detail on the female characters, who could have been interesting! "

" Absolutely delightful! I felt the agony and the angst of the characters is trying to "take care of" the problem no one else would help with! "

" This book really surprised me. I thought it was going to be a "cozy" murder mystery where the little ladies of the group find a body while they are out bird watching, and then proceed to solve the murder. Was I ever wrong! But, it was a twist in a really good way, the story line was great. "

" I enjoyed reading this book more than any I have recently read. The characters are richly developed and drive the story with strength. I will read more of Augusta Trobaugh! "

" I was happy that it ended the way it did. Although overall the premise throughout the book was an unlikely one. "

" I thought this was a cute, little story. Quick read and look into life of southern ladies not often written about in this way. "

" A nice story with a twist at the end. "

" simple book. not much mystery. more about life- long relationships and helping a friend who is in a bad relationship. interesting characters. "

" Don't run afoul of women who stick together and protect each other. "

" A nice little story of life long women's friendships particularly in the South and the lengths the women will go for a friend. "

" Very good book. I will be reading more from this author. "

" I got the book on a Kindle Daily Deal for a $1.99 so it may have been worth what I paid for it, but for me it was too long and the characters were stereotypes. "

" Maybe my timing for reading this was wrong, but I just couldn't get past the first few chapters and really care what was happening. "

" Similar in culture to The Persian Pickle Club. Tea-Olive is instead the modern day south centering on a sweet little club of girlfriends who set out to "do what has to be done" in the case of a friend's bad husband. Mayhem, mystery, and justice! "

" After a bit of a slow start, once the story got going, I liked this book. It is well-written and an easy escapist read. It has been compared to "Arsenic and Old Lace," and that is a good comparison. Tea-Olive is the name of the town. "

" low-key Southern women, older. It took a while for me to get into it, but it is intriguing and a little different. Small-town life. "

" this book was very entertaining, I enjoyed the charecters. "

" It was nothing like Arsenic and Old Lace. And it had very little to do with bird watching. Some nice descriptions of life in a small Southern town. "

" i agree with Judy. "Arsenic and Old Lace" this wasn't. The Catholic nuns of my youth convinced me not to put down a book once started or this one would not have been finished. "
