This was a free download on Kindle, and you get what you pay for. The plot was pretty formulaic (murder mystery), with the surprise twist at the end. Unlike better writers, the author laid down no clues so the big reveal was definitely a what the hell moment. The characters were all pretty flat and stereotyped, as well.
The writing and editing was shoddy. There were a lot of timeline and continuity problems that should have been picked up by a decent editor.

When Bitty's ex-husband is murdered rather than calling the police she enlists the help of her friend Trinket to hide the body while they come up with a plan for the aforementioned deceased to be found somewhere other than Bitty's closet.
But the body appears to be a boomerang and every time they take it somewhere it ends up back in Bitty's house. The police find the body and Bitty is looking well and truly guilty. Trinket and Bitty need to find the real killer and save the day.
This book is mindless cute fluff. If Bitty and Trinket (and the other characters) weren't so likeable I'd probably rate the book 1.5 stars, but their banter is just so much fun and it really saves the book.

This book is a little to contrived. It feels like the author came up with a premise and shoehorned a mystery into it. There are errors that should have been caught by an editor, such as one character who is two different ages.
Really contrived. And I gave up on it.

Trinket and Bitty (yes, the names really are that awful!) are caught up in a murder mystery involving a pot of chicken and dumplings, a statue of General Grant, a dog, a mule, and a bunch of women calling themselves the Dixie Divas.
It was a free download for my kindle, what can I say? Characters and plot are silly but fun. A quick read but nothing outstanding.

This book was ok. Nothing in it really grabbed me, and it took a couple of days to read it...it was too easy to put down and do something else. I had no burning need to know what happened next. Kind of funny, kind of predictable. Not a series I'm going to get into reading.
