A bit meh

3 stars

Glory is a woman of a certain age, her husband has left her, her mother has died and now she finds her best friend dead. The police say suicide but Glory refuse to believe it.

Glorys daughter Delphine, a lawyer from New York shows up after her marriage falls apart and together they try to find out what actually happened.

I don’t like Glory much, she’s kind of rude and judgmental, she gets better but…

No spoilers, Delphine is not a nice person either. (She does something more than once that is a big no no for me).

Despite this there’s some humor and fun in this, nice to read something that isn’t as cookie cutter as the majority of the murder mystery books that I read.

Some cursing in this one, know some hate that.

Excellent mystery – no notes

5 stars

Lovely southern mystery featuring a crotchety old lady who loves thrifting and her daughter who investigate the apparent suicide of a nun. Mystery is predictable but lovely descriptions of Louisiana, the racism that intersects with pollution, and almost no copaganda (except for a brief description of romance with a police officer).
