Book Description:
Biggie's back...for a murder most fowl.
Murder's afoot when Biggie Weatherford's around, and now, fresh from Biggie and the Mangled Mortician, this Lone Star grandma is ready to put the bite on another ornery killer, Texas-style.
It's chicken on the burner-- any way you want it-- in Firman Birdsong's new restaurant. Problem is, old Firman's under the table, gussied up like a prize goose, gravy on top, parsley garnish, and a blood-red tomato in his mouth. Biggie's twelve-year-old grandson, J.R., saw the dead man with his own two eyes. Clearly, this is a case for Biggie-- and her cousin, Sheriff Paul and Silas Wooten (yep, that's one man). But J.R. figures he and Biggie have other problems as well: his other grandmother and her buzzard husband have turned up, ready to snatch him back to Montana. So while Biggie and Paul and Silas are busy rooting out suspects, J.R. is planning his own great escape from wanna-be grandparents with their fancy car with longhorns on the hood, money to burn, and secrets to curdle the blood...

This book is perfect to read while sipping ice tea on a lazy summer afternoon. The series are a cute Southern cozy mysteries. Biggie is the typical Southern woman-of-a-certain-age, involved with community causes and tied in to the grapevine of her community. Her grandson and two loyal retainers live with her. When a local waitress is killed and her custody of her grandson is threatened, she must work overtime to protect those she loves. The story is told from the perspective of her grandson, and it's full of those details that make Southern lit so appealing.

Biggie is larger than life even though she is a tiny lady. Such a fun read and the characters make you laugh as the mystery keeps you turn pages!
You may never eat fowl again. Southern...fun characters.
A potpourri of delightfully odd characters, and wonderfully interesting events.
Alison J. (A very intertaining story narrated by Biggie's grandson. Fast paced and lots of interesting characters.
