DEAD AS A DOORNAIL by Linda Kozar is absolutely a delight to listen to
as Michelle Babb gives her talents toward narrating it. As part of the When The
Fat Ladies Sing cozy mystery series, DEAD AS A DOORNAIL is the third in the
series and can be read without checking out the prior stories. If you are a fan of
cozy mysteries, then listening to Babb's southern drawl will just add to your visual
imagination as you absorb every chapter of Lovita and her friends in the town of
Wachita.
Lovita is planning her wedding to Hudson. If that isn't stressful enough, she runs
into all kinds of obstacles in town, even a murder! As her friend Sue Jan and
husband Monroe are having a house built, the contractor is found dead at their
unfinished home. Monroe is a suspect, and Lovita is trying to get to the bottom of
things. Then the money for the local high school band fundraiser is stolen, which
keeps the kids from going to New York City to march in the Macy's Parade. Can
Lovita and her friend Sue Jan find a murderer and the missing money before it is all
too late and time to say I do?
This cozy mystery is full of quirky characters who will have you laughing with
the way they find humor when things get tough. DEAD AS A DOORNAIL will have
you wondering who did it without ever giving it away. I hope Linda Kozar has
more to come in this great series.
With her wedding to Hudson just months away, all Lovita’s
plans seem to be going awry. A crooked
politician is running for Mayor, his girlfriend is opening a
new beauty shop in town, and the
contractor building Sue Jan and Monroe’s dream home is found
dead, with Monroe as their prime
suspect. To top it all off, the money from the high school
band fundraiser has disappeared. Now
the kids won’t be able to go to New York City and march in
the Macy’s Day parade.
All the girls
have to do is nail the real killer, find the missing money,
save their beauty shop, and rescue the
little town of Wachita, before Lovita walks down the aisle.
Can two big bodaciously beautiful
women do it? Piece of cake.
