About this audiobook

Nancy Bell is a Texan with a flair for small-town mysteries. This popular series features Biggie Weatherford, an amateur sleuth and the richest woman in Job's Crossing. When the town mayor drops dead-face first into his angel food cake-Biggie leads a diverse group in solving this murder despite her personal distaste for the man himself. "A debut novel, Texas-set, that pulls out all the stops in the down-home, good ol' boys, southern-fried chicken pantheon . Bell's first outing is also fresh, funny, and loaded with southern charm."-Kirkus Reviews

Ratings and reviews

This might be a biased review since the author is my Grandmother. But she passed away a few years ago and listening to this book brings her back to me in its own way. It is very well written and reflects an innocence that she had within her. She was raised in a small town in east Texas where she also raised her family and eventually moved away from. But she never forgot the magic of such a special upbringing. She is able to reflect that same magic in to this book. The narrator of these books, JR, who is the Grandson of the main protagonist Biggie reminds me of me as a child and also my Uncle. I'm sure we both inspired some of JR's words. Some history about this book. Nancy Bell and this book were nominated for an Agatha award for best first mystery. It was also sent to the White House where it was read by President and Mrs. Clinton during their years serving our country as President and First Lady. As you can tell I am proud of this book and its history and highly recommend reading it.
