Now, in Drop Dead Divas, the Divas are sleuthing again. Town bad girl Naomi Spencer has been accused of murdering her fiancé, drag-race champion Race Champion. Soon, Naomi turns up dead, too. Talk about a fly in the martini...

Join the bawdy fun as Trinket, Bitty and the gang unravel another small-town mystery.

it's okay

lots of detail but the book ends quickly ... viola the mystery is suddenly solved

Very fun & entertaining!

I love these ladies, fun, adventurous, and hysterical! I’ve caught myself laughing out loud while driving down the street!

Wasn't what I expected....

Bought this book to listen to because of the reviews. I, however, didn't "get it" as a book that kept my attention. I did listen to the entire book but it was a chore, not something I looked forward to as I usually do. Performance was good with all the southern accents but the story to me was stupid. If this is a series, I'm not a fan.

Very Funny

I have enjoyed these series of books, These women are very funny in their own way. Women being women. You will enjoy!

Uh Oh

This is a great book with a lot of twists and turns and after listening to the first one I couldn't imagine how they could top it and she did!

Hilarious!

What a fun and entertaining book! I love the characters, the setting and mostly the relationship between Trinket and Bitty. Sure wish I was in the Divas' circle!

This is a fun take on murder mysteries.

What made the experience of listening to Drop Dead Divas the most enjoyable?

The narrator does so many different character voices it make you believe there are different people doing each character.

What other book might you compare Drop Dead Divas to and why?

Not sure

What about Karen Commins’s performance did you like?

I like her reading each character in with a believable different voice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really, I enjoyed it but I would need a break from time to time.

Any additional comments?

I just think theses books are a fun take on a murder mystery. I read so many thriller books that this one takes the serious tones out and makes it a little fun without any disrespect for the murder victim.

what will Bitty do next

loved this story and all the characters Just the right mix of humor and mystery I have to say the narration is superb

Cute, loveable southern divas made me giggle

Maybe it's because I live in Tennessee or maybe it's because I know ladies just like these ladies -- but I found these "Diva" books to be delightful, silly, and fun. They are murder mysteries but certainly different than any I've read/heard before. For those of you who are looking for intellectual, SERIOUS, thought-provoking books, maybe these aren't for you. But for those of you over-40 women who may have experienced a hot sunny summer afternoon of teenaged silliness with your girlfriends, having a Sonic frozen drink with a little boost while laying in the pool (problems put on hold for an afternoon) ... then you are going to love these books. For those of you who have NOT experienced that, for heaven's sake, do so soon! And listen to these books!

Not impressed with the narrator.

What made the experience of listening to Drop Dead Divas the most enjoyable?

The story is fantastic. Being from KY TN border, I know these ladies. Maybe different names but I went to church with all of these ladies.
Unfortuently, the narration is so poor that I suffered through this book and one other of the Divas. I'm not sure I can get through another, which is a shame because I really enjoy the stories. I was never sure what the emotion of the situation should be, it was all so monotone that it was hard to get the feel of the situation. The accents are somewhere between Southern (my native tongue) and a bad NJ accent.

Would you be willing to try another one of Karen Commins’s performances?

No
