I really do enjoy reading about nosy spinsters solving mysteries.

Originally I begrudged the fact that it was not as humorous as the first, but I've come to appreciate the genuine creepiness. Bill Pronzini has read the second and enjoyed, I know. and Adelaide really is a great character, I think. I wish Blackmon had been able to do a third southern hotel murder!The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-41057669537511678892014-01-10T14:16:04.761-08:002014-01-10T14:16:04.761-08:00Thanks, Peggy Ann!

Do hope you like them. What I like best of all is Blackmon's humorous attitude about the genre. You can tell she's having some fun with the conventions.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-2595673082748190662014-01-10T08:03:01.708-08:002014-01-10T08:03:01.708-08:00Now here are a few I will buy!

I've been wanting to read this ever since I read your review at Mystery*File and then another rave elsewhere by Diane Plumley.
