Publisher's summary

An’gel and Dickce Ducote tend to stay put in Athena, Mississippi, but a wedding is a good reason to say a temporary farewell to Charlie Harris' cat, Diesel, and go visit relatives. But while their stay in Louisiana is scorching hot, the atmosphere at the wedding is downright cold, with bride-to-be Sondra Delevan putting her trust fund above little things like love and loyalty. When a violent storm supposedly sweeps Sondra off a balcony to her death, the sisters discover that many of the guests attending the wedding had major reasons to object to Sondra’s marriage. Now it’s up to An’gel and Dickce to use their down-home instincts to expose dubious alibis, silver-plated secrets, and one relentless murderer who lives for “till death do us part”.

Great surprise ending

I loved the story but not the voice of person reading. The accent was awful.

Ouch!

Where does Dead with the Wind rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's a pleasant cosy, which is what I bought it for.

If you’ve listened to books by Miranda James before, how does this one compare?

Mediocre - I missed Diesel the Maine Coon cat.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jorjeana Marie’s performances?

NO! While I'm not familiar enough with Southern accents to comment, her persistent mispronunciation of basic French words like "maman", "tante", and even "Ducote", the surname of two of the main characters, was wince-worthy.

Fantastic!

This was such a good book I hated for it to end. The characters were believable, enough detail so you felt like part of the story but not to much to keep up with. I can't wait for the next one!!

Narrative

Really enjoyed this audio except for the "voice" of child. That grated on my last nerve.

Interesting and a bit of a cliffhanger

I’ve read a number of these and I couldn’t put this one down. Although I had narrowed the suspects down, and I found the mortuary scene a bit surprising I was still surprised at the final conclusion and will need to chew on it a bit. A sure sign of a good story.

The Southern Ladies Never Me!

I’m 76 years old at this time & when I “grow up” I want to be just like them - sharp as tacks & full of joy!

Dead with Wind

I so enjoy the stories by Miranda James. I feel I almost know Charley and I love Diesel. I sincerely hope there will be more books with Diesel, Charles and the sisters.
Jorjeana Marie does a good job bring the characters to life, you almost believe they are sisters.
I hope there will be more books.

interesting story

I am a fan of the cat in the stacks mysteries. This spin off series is fun. These senior ladies are a hoot. Will listen another one of these.
