Southern Sass and a Crispy Corpse

A Marygene Brown Mystery, Book 2

De: Kate Young

Narrado por: Tiffany Morgan

On Georgia's picturesque Peach Cove Island, a killer is serving up a two-for-one special....

After their mama's passing, Marygene Brown returned to Peach Cove Island to help her sister, Jena Lynn, run the family diner, renowned for its homemade peach desserts. But Mama is never too far away - her sassy spirit haunts the island, and more specifically Marygene. Lately Mama has been warning her that the dead will seek her out to solve their murders, an idea Marygene is far from peachy keen on.

But that prophecy appears to be coming true when she goes skinny-dipping off the island and swims right into a woman's charred corpse floating in the waves. And when Marygene and her brother, Sam, come upon a second burned body in a wine cellar at an event they're catering, it appears they have a double homicide on their hands. It soon turns out the victims have more in common than their charred remains, and Marygene will need to double down to find a killer who has no aversion to playing with fire. Good thing Mama has her back....

Good author

This is a decent series if you like culinary type mysteries. The narrator does a great job.

An easy listen

I've listened to both in this series. They are both a fun relaxing listen. With so many negative things happening, this is just a good escape.

ANOTHER FUN AND EXCITING READ

I LOVE THIS SERIES, THIS 2ND INSTALLMENT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. MARYGENE IS A VERY LIKEABLE PROTAGONIST, AND THE ALEX AND JAVIER TRIANGLE REMINISCENT OF EVANOVICH'S TRIANGLE. I DO HOPE THIS ONE ISN'T STRUNG OUT LIKE THAT ONE HAS BEEN. MARYGENE'S FAMILY, EVEN MAMA, ARE GREAT; AND I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO VI JOINING THE CLUB. BOOK 3 CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH.

5 stars

Southern Sass and a Crispy Corpse is a fun and entertaining myster with a complex plot and lots of twists and turns. I look forward to the next book.

Fun Story, Bored Narrator

The narrator didn't do much for the story. This was kind of hard to get through.
