Oh, how I love this series!! Sarah Booth and Tinkie are some of my favorite ladies in the book world. Smart, funny, resourceful and feisty. They take on the stolen insurance case for the Leverts even though they've promised their significant others that they will be more careful with their cases. It seems innocuous enough at the beginning, but everything begins to escalate with the abduction of one of the sisters.
There is a serious Gothic texture to this, the eleventh outing for Sarah Booth and Tinkie. I love Southern humor, Southern mystery and Southern Gothic. BONES OF A FEATHER has all three to the nth degree!!
BONES OF A FEATHER comes out on 21 June, do yourself a favor and buy this fine addition to the series.
Five sparkly Southern diamonds......

Sounds like a good series again Vicky, I haven't read anything about it before.
Aurian: It's one of my favorites, especially the first in the series, THEM BONES. I have a thing for Southern humor and this series is full of humor and mystery.
