There is always something exciting going on in Darling,
Alabama. Even though the residents are still reeling from
the stock market crash and a record drought that has so
adversely affected the cotton crop, Darling is the kind of
small town where everyone helps each other and soon or
later, everybody knows everybody's business.
When Miss Harmer, a noted town recluse, has a niece and her
friend move in with her, and Verna Tidwell recognizes the
niece, Nona Jamison as one of the famous "Naughty and Nice
Sisters" of "Ziegfeld Frolic" fame - well, it certainly has
the town buzzing.
Small town Darling just isn't ready for a couple of
scantily dressed dancers from New York City, but wouldn't
they make a lively addition to the town's talent show! So
naturally, the Dahlia's start snooping around to see what
they can find out about the newest residents and soon learn
that Nona has made a hasty exit from Chicago, where she had
been good friends with Al Capone and now that friendship
may just have her in the gun sights of one of Al's gang.
Meanwhile, Lizzy Lacy has her hands full when her mother
announces that she has lost her home to foreclosure and she
will be moving in with Lizzy in her cute little house.
Happy with her new-found independence, Lizzy sets right to
work to find a way to keep her momma happy and her peaceful
home just that -- peaceful.
In THE DARLING DAHLIAS AND THE NAKED LADIES, author Susan
Wittig Albert once again brings an enchanting, but lively
cozy mystery that will thrill her legion of fans. Albert
has definitely done her research on small town life in
Alabama in the 1930s and its fun to find the references to
long-ago traditions that are gone today. She also includes
a collection of delicious recipes from that era as well as
household tips that can still be counted on today. This is
the second book in the "Darling Dahlias" series, and I hope
Albert has plenty more lined up for future enjoyment
A brand-new mystery in the "exceptional" (Booklist) series by the national bestselling author. Rumors are sprouting in Depression-era Darling, Alabama. The town's newest visitors, Nona Jean Jamison and Miss Lake, may be the Naughty and Nice Sisters from the Ziegfeld Frolic, who specialize in dancing nearly naked. The Dahlias suspect more than modesty when Nona denies her association. They'll have to dig through clues to get to the root of the mystery...
