Book Description

January 2, 2007
At the Kountry Kitchen, Wanda Nell gets a surprising customer-her brother Rusty, who she hasn't set eyes on since their mama died. Wanda Nell wants to heal the rift between them, but Rusty has other scores to settle in town. Then a man is murdered, and Rusty-who had a knock-down drag-out with him just hours earlier-disappears. Wanda Nell knows her baby brother isn't a killer, and she's got to find both him and the real murderer before the whole thing starts to stink like yesterday's leftovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars "An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship" (Spanish Proverb), August 1, 2009
This review is from: Best Served Cold (A Trailer Park Mystery #3) (Mass Market Paperback)
This third installment in the series finds single mom Wanda Nell Culpepper struggling to cope with a multitude of family issues: Her oldest daughter, Miranda, doesn't seem willing or capable of taking care of herself and her little boy; Wanda Nell's son, TJ, is happily settled in a relationship but not everyone in Tullahoma looks kindly on the arrangement and to top it all off her brother, Rusty, shows up out of the blue. Wanda Nell hasn't seen or spoken to Rusty in years and it doesn't look like he's come home to mend any fences. When two of Rusty's former high school buddies are found dead it appears to be too much of a coincidence to Wanda Nell ... and to the authorities. Unable to turn her back on her only brother Wanda Nell sets out to discover what Rusty is hiding and in the course of her investigation uncovers some truly ugly and dangerous secrets from the past.

As with the previous books I enjoyed the small town setting and catching up with Wanda Nell and the rest of the gang. The "mystery" was pretty engaging but wrapped up in a rather unsatisfying "suspect round-up" reminiscent of an old-fashioned English country-house mystery. Don't let that deter you though; this book is worth reading for the endearing characters and southern atmosphere alone. If you are new to the series you are on to a good thing but I would highly recommend that you start with the first in the series "Flamingo Fatale" - that one gives you Wanda Nell's backstory and each book picks up where the other left off.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sample of Southern Fun, March 27, 2011
By 
This review is from: Best Served Cold (A Trailer Park Mystery #3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Readers get it all in this book: mystery, chic lit, southern stereotypes at their best, a quick and easy entertaining read, and heroine they can't help but love. Wanda Nell's got problems. Her family isn't exactly functioning well and she strains to hold it all together. Then her estranged brother suddenly shows back up after a 10 year hiatus. And he's acting kinda' strange. Wanda Nell is determined to get to the bottom of it. And she gets more than she bargained for.

This is the perfect book for a rainy weekend or a week at the beach.

Lucy Adams, author of Tuck Your Skirt in Your Panties and Run and If Mama Don't Laugh, It Ain't Funny
