Search - Them Bones (Sarah Booth Delaney, Bk 1)

This was a great book. I got it because someone reviewed it and said it was like putting Stephanie Plum in the Mississippi Delta. The author Carolyn Haines does not have the sense of humor that Janet Evenovich posesses but is a fantastic storyteller nevertheless. The twist at the end was very unexpected. I throughly enjoyed this book.

These books can make you laugh and cry. Written with real "southernisms" you feel like your Grandma is going to be right in there cooking for you! I love how the character has been developed and each book just gets better. Independent female charcters make the book flow with wit and excitement.

First book in the "Bones" series featuring Sarah Booth Delaney. I have read all of them and each one gets better and better. Sarah Booth is a Southern Belle who has fallen on hard times and has to resort to working as a private detective in order to save the family home. There are some paranormal elements as she lives with Jitty, the ghost of a former slave. Jitty provides most of the comic relief in this series as she is overly concerned about Sarah Booth's love life. Funny and charming mystery.

This book is a cross between MATY KAY ANDREWS'- SAVANNAH BLUES AND NANCY ATHERTON'S AUNT DIMITY. Southern belle tries to save her family home from developers and solve a 20 yr old murder mystery aided by 150 yr old family ghost.Very entertaining. Good ending with a twist.

Loved it....! Can't wait to read more of Carolyn Haines!!!

This was a good read. A small town "rich kid" down on her luck decides to become a PI and researches a few murders that took place two decades ago. Some interesting characters and a house ghost add to the mix for mystery and mayhem.
