Dyes and Deadbeats

A Sadie Sexton Hoochville Mystery, Book 4

By: Ramey James

Narrated by: Tiffany Morgan

Trouble is blowing up all over Hoochville. In the aftermath of the Founder’s Day parade explosion, weird things keep happening that parallel events in Deana Marie’s new unpublished whodunit. Coincidence? Sadie doesn’t think so. And when a body turns up in the storage shed at River Rats Tavern, all eyes are on Deana Marie as the source of all the shenanigans.

While Sadie’s focus is on finding Deana Marie’s manuscript copycat, most everyone else in town is too enamored with Hoochville’s new roller derby team, the Intoxiskaters, to even care. As Sadie’s investigation starts to heat up, suddenly the coach and some of the players of the newly formed team aren’t looking so innocent. But it appears Sadie’s going to have to jam her way through an entire roller derby team to find out the truth.

Can Sadie block the murderer’s game plan and whip up enough evidence to take the heat off Deana Marie and put the killer in the penalty box?

Great plot

This read is funny and very entertaining.
As we are taken on the journey of Sadie and gang
try to solve the mystery it was a real fun read.
I also had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook
and the narrator was brilliant with bringing the book
and characters to life.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this audiobook.

Welcome back to Hoochville!

This book has it all, friends who are always there for each other, adorable fur babies, a handsome sheriff, and now a roller derby team. I love following Sadie and her friends as they try to find out "who done it", while trying to stay under Sheriff Reed's radar. This book will make you laugh, sigh happily, and keep you guessing throughout. Definitely worth the read!

DYES AND DEADBEATS BY RAMY JAMES 5

It's not just dead bodies – at least not to start. However, when the “accidents” start matching the happenings in one of the friend's first books, the besties jump in. The problem is too many suspects but with alibies.

Our friends make good characters again, but add a long feud. And much more, there are ongoing incidents, and it isn't easy to figure out WHO DONE IT. But it is easy and fun to listen, even a good bedtime story.

Just yes

I cannot get over how much I love this series. The characters, the Romance, the crocheting. I love it all. I hope the next book comes out quickly because I cannot wait to find out what happens next the cliffhanger endings drive me crazy as now I will be impatiently waiting. If you’re looking for a cozy mystery, this series cannot be beat.

Another hit cozy mystery

I love how these books keep me interested, have humor and perfect cliff hangers ever time

Terrific!

The narrator did a terrific job of bringing this story to life. The story is a hoot, it’s engaging, fun, and so much more. These characters feel like friends. I like them k forward to what happens next.

Awesome!

Exciting beginning to a fantastic book! Book four is a banger! Literally!! Roller Derby and Hoochville what could possibly go wrong?! Can’t wait to see what Sadie gets up to in book 5!! The narrative is ok, but I do enjoy the story!
