Book Description:
Private investigation isn't on the list of a southern belle's most desirable accomplishments--but it's saved Sarah Booth Delaney's Delta homestead. Now all she has to cope with is its bossy antebellum ghost who is determined to save Sarah--from spinsterhood. Then comes the perfect social occasion: Lawrence Ambrose's dinner party...

Buried Bones

Ambrose, once a famous man of southern letters, is planning a comeback: a delicious tell-all with a bitchy ex-model as his "biographer." As he taunts his dinner guests with the news that his book will blow the lid off Zinnia's darkest secrets, it becomes plain that each and every guest has a secret--and wants Ambrose to keep it. When the morning-after mess includes a bloody corpse and the manuscript of the biography disappears, Sarah Booth goes digging for answers. But many who hold them are six feet under--or soon will be--and if she doesn't tread carefully, she could join them any day now...

Second in a series. I didn't read the first one yet. Some good characters and I am sure they will be fleshed out more as the series moves along. I enjoyed it. Southern High Society girl turns into a PI.

This series is a really fun read. A totally different PI, but there's a little resemblance to Stephanie Plum. Not as good as that series, but still a worthwhile, enjoyable series.

This is my first read by this author. I've been reading cozy mysteries for years, but this one has a something special, including humor and great Southern ambiance. Good book, I enjoyed reading it.

Ambrose taunts his dinner guests with the tell-all book he's writing. Since each of his guests has a secret, the morning-after mess includes the author. Sara Booth, savvy southern belle, needs to solve the crime with a little help from her bossy ghost.

When Lawrence Ambrose plans a delectable tell-all and taunts his dinner guests with the news that this book will blow the lid of Zinnia, Mississippi, it is up to Sarah Booth Delaney to dig for answers. Second in the Mississippi Delta series.

If you read the original, Dem Bones, the sequel is just as quirky and off-the-wall. I wish there were more in the series.
