Customer Reviews

A thoroughly enjoyable Southern mystery!

This is the first book that I have read in the Sheila Travis series and I absolutely could not put it down! I have become very fond of other "Southern" mystery series a la Laura Childs and Tamar Myers, and this series definitely does not disappoint. I found the characters to be very believable and the detail in which Sprinkle describes the nuances of Southern mannerism provides a good lesson in the sociology of the region. The only challenge that I faced when reading the book was keeping track of so many characters. Each added a colorful element to the story, but I think the author also ended up having to jump around very quickly, and some of the characters may not have been as thoroughly developed as they could have been. All in all, though, I really enjoyed this and look forward to reading other books in the Sheila Travis series.
