Once again, J.B. Stanley gives us a fun visit with the Supper Club. "Stiffs and Swine" is the 4th book in the series and is just as delightful as the first three. The characters are old friends now and the new supporting characters add that extra zest to the mystery.

Not only is there a murder for the Flab Five to solve, there is also the continuing saga of James Henry's love life. Will it be Lucy or Murphy? This book also gives us more insight into the life of Gillian. The more I learn about the characters, the more I like them.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves to read, especially cozy mystery fans. This is just the book to read on a cool night, curled up on the couch with a nice hot cup of tea.

This is the fourth book in the Supper Club series. I love these books! The main characters, the Flab Five, are very interesting and diverse characters. In the latest installment the Flab Five are asked to be judges at a bar-b-q event. While there, a murder takes place, and one of the Flab Five is a suspect in the murder. They all ban together to help solve the murder and help their friend. The main characters are people that you can imagine meeting in everyday life, and the supporting characters add to the story. I would highly recommend this book and all the other books in the series.

The fourth in the Stiffs and Swine Supper Club Mysteries, J. B. Stanley has created a smooth, fun read as we follow the Flab Five through a maze of suspects as they track down a murderer. Mouth-watering recipes are peppered throughout this savory mystery. A great cozy novel.

The Flab Five: James, Lucy, Bennet, Lindy, and Gillian, have been invited to be judges at a regional barbeque contest. They all jump at the chance and are soon on their way to a neighboring locale.

Before long, one of the contestant's is found dead. Unbeknownst to the rest of the group, Gillian had a past with the murder victim and is soon in jail as the prime suspect. The other four friends band together to discover the identity of the real killer.

Murphy, the reporter from their town and James' girlfriend, comes to town to cover the story. This puts a lot of strain on their relationship. Will it survive?

The four friends discover they didn't know their friend Gillian as well as they thought they did. Could she be the killer? There are quite a few people who aren't sad to see the murder victim dead. Which one is the killer?

Plus what's going on at the library where James works? Can he help solve this mystery as well?

I love this series and always devour each book. This was no exception. The only thing I hate is that I read them so fast and have to wait so long for the next book.

I really like The Flab Five. They've become such a great group of friends. But as is often true, everyone has a past they haven't revealed. I like how this was handled in this book. And how the various friends reacted. It felt very real.

There are lots of wonderful recipes in the book, too. I hope to try some one day. I highly recommend this book and the complete series.

Thank goodness I had a sick day left. Once I picked opened this book I couldn't put this down til I turned the last page. Once again I was drawn in by the characters and wrong about who did it. The "cue" sauce recipe came out Great!

I read the first book in this series and immediately ordered every new title as they came out. The characters are believable and the story line holds my interest. All in all, good entertainment!

Fun volume of the Supper Club Mystery series. Easy reading, not horribly gory like some novels are these days.
