Poppa is back again, so Sheriff Kenni Lowry knows something is going to happen. But what and who is going to end up dead?? That is the question.
Although this time her momma is thick in the middle of it, and a suspect when a body is found. With the help of Poppa and Finn, now her boyfriend as well the deputy of Cottonwood. Kenni needs to solve the case and hopefully keep her momma out of jail.
I love this series. The small town feeling always draws me in, as does the friendships and family. The characters have flaws which make them more relatable as you read.

Thank you NetGalley and Henery Press for giving me the opportunity to read this book
Thank you Tonya Kappes for another great story and adventure in Cottonwood.

Why do you read a book? For entertainment of course! Then you have come to the right place for rollicking good time. When a food critic comes to Cottonwood, KY to review Viv's Chicken Pot Pie - everything goes haywire, when a dead body and Poppa happen to show up.. Sheriff Kenni Lowry, and deputy boyfriend Finn have to clear her Moma's name - of course. This is the first Tonya Kappes book that I have ever read, but I will definitely stand in line for more of her books. What a fun, small town happening place. Join the fun!

I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affected my opinions good or bad.

This is the 4th book in the Kenni Lowery series. It's a cozy mystery for anyone that likes a good wholesome mystery with some comical relief on the side. If you read any of the others in the series, you will not be disappointed. While not necessary to read others in the series, I strongly recommend it.
Great for fans of any Henery Press books.

This is book four in the series. I feel like this series can be a southern T.V. show. I can watch these characters acting the lines out in my head. There was a great start to the book. I learned some southern sayings I had never heard before. I think it's cute. I loved how Kenni ventured into trying her hand at baking a cake. A girls gotta try things out to see if they like 'um. I think that this part of the book takes sluething a turn for the better. The ending was great and awe! Tonya Kappes is a wonderful story teller.

Good clean mystery with a touch of romance. Filled with all those quirky characters you often read about in small town settings, especially small southern towns. ;) There is some humor, though this book isn't so much about the humor as it is the mystery itself, as the lead, Kenni who happens to be the towns sheriff, has to try to prove her mother isn't a murderer. There's a little more anxiety running through the story. There are a couple crimes in addition to the main murder that keeps your mind busy and adds some silliness to the story. It's well written and a fun, easy and quick read. It is safe for teens and up. It's part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone.

*I Volunteered to review an ARC of this book.

My favorite of the series so far because there's more investigative work by Kenni and we follow her around while she does it. My issues with Poppa and him not being utilized as well as he could be is vaguely explained by him having limitations from the other side. Don't recall reading that in the earlier books and it does give an explanation for my frustration, but it makes me go "Humph!" (Not sure I like that excuse.). Momma gets more of a role than matchmaker which was a plus too.

In the ARC copy I got from Netgalley (in exchange for my honest review) there appeared to be a sentence or two of author notes to herself. I had to reread it to confirm it wasn't part of the story. I found it alternately amusing and then interesting to get a glimpse of the writer's thoughts/process.

This is my first Tonya Kappes story. I wasn't sure what to expect, and I'll admit that at the start of the story when the sheriff's 'Pop' appears, I was slightly hesitant as to whether or not this would be the type of book I would enjoy. It very quickly became apparent that I was going to enjoy the book, and I ended up finishing it in one sitting. I found the main characters to be extremely likeable, and although I didn't think the book was hilarious, it was definitely amusing.

I'd quite like to read some more from this author - I like that it was a mystery but with a little difference - I loved the character of 'Pop,' and I am intrigued to find out if the sheriff ever tells Finn about him.

ARC Kindle Copy for Review

I received a free, advance copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Nothing says love like homemade cooking especially when someone dies from food poisoning.

What was supposed to be a food contest turns deadly and the major suspect is her Mama since she supposedly made the homemade chicken pot pie that killed the famous food critic. Things hit too close for Kenni as she must let her deputy Finn handle the case.

But of course her effort to stay out of it will have her in the middle of things.

Fast paced storyline of southern humor.e with lot

Gosh, where to begin. I love Tonya Kappes is books. And I've read pretty much all of them. An author with an ability to write likeable characters that you can identify with; they're not perfect they have their own imperfections, so they're easily relatable. I adore the small-town feel, the camaraderie of friends and family and I love how I get sucked into each and every series she comes up with.

This is definitely one of my favorite of her series. There's just something about the small-town sheriff that draws me in and makes me want to help her solve her Mysteries. I love her mama and I love her Grandad I would like to see a little bit more of her dad and if there are any siblings, I can't recall but I can't wait to the next one comes out and I just finished this one! They go too fast I can never seem to put them down.

Six Feet Under is the 4th in the Kenni Lowry Mystery Series by Tonya Kappes. Sheriff Kenni Lowrey is once again back to patrol the little town of Cottonwood with the aid of her bloodhound, Duke, and the ghost of her grandfather, Elmer Simms, previous Sheriff of Cottonwood. Also present is deputy sheriff, Finn Vincent, and the relationship between Kenni and Finn is still blossoming. As always gossip is flying around Cottonwood about the upcoming visit of Chef Frank Von Lee who is from the Culinary Channel’s show, Southern Home Cookin’. After Kenni’s mother. Vivian Lowrey, had won the cooking contest last year and her pot pie was featured in the Cottonwood Chronicle, Viv declares her life has been changed. This is why Chef Frank is arriving to decide who will be featured on his show. Excitement is building, and everyone is primping so they look their best. Crowd control is requested by Sheriff Kenni at Ben’s Dinner where Kenni had previously broke up a disagreement between Ben and his newly hired temporary chef, Mundy. This is just the beginning of Kenni’s troubles and Cottonwood will all be included in this mystery. Tonya Kappes always guarantees her readers a story with lots of twists and turns and needless to say, she has outdone herself in this book. When you think you have the answer of who done it, you are pulled back in and surprised at the results.

I love this series. The characters get better and the stories are real with a little humor even in murder. Lots of surprises but penni is true to form with the help her ghost Grandfather.
