Search - Flamingo Fatale (Trailer Park, Bk 1)

I stumbled across this mystery, and I'm so glad I did! Read Harriet Klausner's review for a summary. I'll just add that I enjoyed the language, the characters' problems were real, and just like good Southerners, they enjoyed their Cokes. If you enjoy humorous Southern mysteries, you'll love Jimmie Ruth Evans' new series...at least I hope this is the beginning of a series!

Finally a real portrayal of a single mother!!! The main character is strong, couragous but just as loath to get involved in murder as I would be faced with the same situation. Not only are her children portrayed as having personalities similar to that of normal teens they also have character traits their mother would rather do without. The main character is not rich, in fact she works 3 jobs just to make ends meet. Her hardworking spirit is so like my own single mother that I wanted to cheer. It's about dern time a mom was portrayed as the tired lioness she really is.

This was GREAT! Oh, I so hope lots more of this series are written. You couldn't help but like the main character. And Mayrene is such a good friend. Really, really promising series.

I enjoyed the plot in this book but the excessive bad language made it really hard to read. I don't use this kind of language nor am I around where I can hear it. I found it very offensive and will not be reading the next book.

I couldn't get hook into the story. The characters seemed fine, but it didn't capture me.

I really enjoyed this book, it was funny, left you guessing till the end and I would recommend it to anyone that likes this type of mystery book.
