LOL - Laughing out loud!, September 19, 2009
This review is from: A Case of Nosy Neighbors (A Morning Shade Mystery) (Paperback)
At the outset of the book, Maude is mildly chagrined when she has sweet thoughts about Sherman - the doctor, thinking that her late husband wasn't yet cold in the grave. That is until she remembers "that wasn't entirely true. Herb had been dead nineteen months. If he wasn't cold yet something was dreadfully wrong."
Maude's warnings to Stella to be careful on the ice paid off and Stella remains upright. Too bad Maude didn't. Along with a cast on her leg, she's had surgery on her wrist.
There's a new guy in town. Yup another one that Cee might be interested in. Perhaps he'll turn out to be a better prospect than the last bozo new to town who loved his own juvenile pranks and had never grown up. Maude is worried about it though and who can blame her?
Oh Oh, what's Stella up to this time? Bless her heart.
CeeCee had said she would help her mother type the book she'd been working on when she had her surgery. However, Cee is tied up helping out at Rick's kennel and hardly helping Maude at all. Maude let CeeCee live with her and she supported her during Cee's desperate times and that's pretty much the thanks Maude feels she's getting from her daughter during her own need. Maude could guilt her into helping but then the help wouldn't be as appreciated.
This series isn't primarily about the cases to be investigated and solved but about relationships, love, and dealing with each other's foibles. It's about how we can't do everything by ourselves. We weren't meant to be self-sufficient. "No man is an island."

This was a delightful mystery as well as a real-ife look of a small town.

Fun mystery, April 18, 2008
This review is from: A Case of Nosy Neighbors (A Morning Shade Mystery) (Paperback)
Great book. I love the characters and enjoyed the story. I did figure it out before the end of the book but in a way, that added to the fun - if I could see it, why couldn't they?
