A promising start to a new series with all the components of a cozy mystery.. It was not quite as good as I was expecting, but I would read the next one.

I will be reviewing this editorially for Mystery Scene Magazine be sure and watch for my review in the January '19 Magazine edition

This is an interesting, fast paced new mystery that gives us a look at small time life in Mississippi. Wendy Winchester is a journalism school graduate who is now the society editor at the local newspaper in her small town of Rosalie, Mississippi. She is anxious to get off the society beat and into real news and when four of the town's leading ladies - the Rosalie Bridge Club who are also famous as the town's Gin Girls- are poisoned at a bridge luncheon she gets the chance. In addition to seizing a chance to further her own ambitions, Wendy is also trying to help Merleece, the maid of Liddy, and who served the poisoned coffee, when the police (her father Bax the police chief, and her boyfriend Ross, the lead detective) focus on Merleece as the lead suspect. This is an enjoyable story with well developed characters and plenty of twists and turns in the plot but, most of all, it is a look at small town living in the South with all of its quirks.
