Not Really a Daddy's Girl Any More..but can sure know how to use it..
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I have at least five of this series that have been in the TBR pile on the bedroom bookshelf..What was I thinking? I absolutely loved this first one for many reasons.One being the rich content that makes up this book, as well as the main protagonist, an Ole Miss Southern Belle, Sarah Booth Delaney, a bit of an outlier when it comes to her former stereotype in the Daddy's Girls(DG's) clique...which is what endears me to her most...never, ever typecast someone as starting out as cut from the same cloth when circumstances aide in their character development..a definite asset in this case. Independent and also in need of money to save the Family home, Dahlia House.and in no hurry to give up her independence for marriage but will consider some stops along the way..when all her former buds have married for economic security rather than love. The dot of on the 'i' is a several generations removed ghost in the form of Jitty..her great, great, grandmother's maid who provides insights and caustic humor throughout. Thrown into these dire circumstances, she latches on to the opportunity to become a Private Investigator. Add a transgender character who happens to work for a local paper in the gossip area, and Sarah Booth is off to the races. Sprinkle in an alleged, physic who is a mainstay of her life long and still successful "DG's, Tinkie, " a murder mystery, a sibling in a psych ward(comfortable of course) a sheriff, and you have all the ingredients of a good ol moss draped mystery. You gotta love it..I know I did.
