5.0 out of 5 stars Another great addition to the series, August 1, 2007

This review is from: Ham Bones (Southern Belle Mysteries) (Hardcover)

HAM BONES shows that Sarah Booth and friends have what it takes to survive outside of Zinnia. Too many series grow stale over time, but like a fine wine, Carolyn Haines continues to improve. Snappy wit, intriguing characters, and more twists than the Mississippi River, HAM BONES is sure to satisfy anyone's hunger for a good mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Haines keeps it real, August 1, 2007

By

Suzann Ledbetter (SW Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ham Bones (Southern Belle Mysteries) (Hardcover)

Sarah Booth Delaney (via Carolyn Haines) is a Southern Belle to her toenails, but as human as a fictional character can be. Sarah Booth is gritty, true to her heart and her raising, but screws up sometimes and doesn't necessarily learn from it. What Sarah Booth will do is make readers laugh, root for her, worry about her, and cheer when everything comes out more or less all right in the end, just as they would a dear friend. And flat-out fawnching for the next Bones book to find out what kind of a mysterious mess Sarah Booth will get herself into and (let's hope) out of next time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new star in the Southern Sky., July 28, 2007

This review is from: Ham Bones (Southern Belle Mysteries) (Hardcover)

I really loved Ms Haine's newest edition to the Sarah Booth Delaney mysteries. The twist and turns of the mystery were delicate and deceptive, and the new characters who are introduced into Sarah Booth Delaney's entourage of friends are quite unique and mysteriously charming. Carolyn Haines has given us another glimpse of how well Sarah Booth can adapt to her ever changing role as slueth and her hidden talent as a potential star of the stage. Gentleman's Mint Julep Mix

This was an okay book. Greedy Bones gets back to her original fun but not too, too sexy style.
