Yes, RJ and Veenie are at it again.
This third caper with our favorite senior snooping sleuths starts off with a missing person. Gertie Wineager wasn't winning any popularity contests, but she was the reigning queen of the BBQ chicken cook-off - part of the annual Chickenlandia Festival.
The plot rapidly thickens when the prize-winning rooster and top laying hen go missing from Ma & Peepaw Horton's - the actual Chickenlandia that the festival is named for.
Add in a rival egg laying operation, a chicken wing king, and Veenie's intense distrust of chickens, and our gal pals are scrambling to find out what happened to Gertie the BBQ queen, Dewey the rooster, and Ginger the hen. Oh...and then there's Veenie's forklift accident - and a dead body! Yikes!
Fear not, dear readers. By story's end, the cluckers are back in their coop, and the reign of Gertie remains.
Who knows what trouble Veenie and RJ will find themselves in next? I can hardly wait to find out. We want more, Daisy Pettles!
Laugh Out Loud - Southern Funny Cozy Mystery
Published by Jay Janey , 6 years ago
Oh boy, more shenanigans from the old ladies at the Shady Hoosier Detective Agency! I’d read books 1 and 2 in this humorous detective series and WAS still laughing at them when an ARC for Book 3, Chickenlandia, landed in my Kindle. You don’t have to read the first two books to get into this laugh-out-loud crime comedy, but if you have read the first two books you’ll know that our wise-cracking senior sleuth, Ruby Jane, gets a chance to date Hiram, The Chicken Wing King, in this installment. In between, she and her 71-year-old cranky sidekick, Lavinia, try to chase down chicken thieves and figure out who sent a cranky egg rancher (Cheaty Pants Pam) to that great Chickenlandia in the Sky. The result is toooooo funny! I love-love-love this series and these wacky old lady detectives. Very original. Dive into this series – you’ll enjoy all the quirky mysteries that plague the odd and lovable residents of Pawpaw County. Go old ladies! (I'm a Baby Boomer, so looooved this book)
