The next in the series of the "Bought the Farm" cozy mysteries. I found it very enjoyable, but I can't say why exactly. The mystery was pretty good, although now a couple of weeks after reading it, I don't remember who dunnit and what they done. The people were amusing but I can't say I ever laughed out loud or re-read a passage that was exceptionally clever.
It's just sweet and homey and exceptionally....well...cozy.
Will read more.
Blanche Among the Talented Tenth
by Barbara Neely
I love Blanche--she's a hoot. I'm not sure how well we'd fare as best friends, though. She does so many things that make me cringe and others that make me feel sorry for her. Get a life, please! (But then, maybe she does!)
But I don't feel like reading another one in the series for a while. The mystery was pretty much nonexistent and tangential to the story. Which is okay, provided I really, really liked the story. And in this one, I found myself not caring. At all.
Sorry to be negative. On second thought, I probably will read at least one more in the series. I like her so much.
