Do you have sisters? Or siblings in general? I do! I’ve got two sisters, and I can easily picture us playing detective like Quinn and her sister Delilah do! In fact, we used to cut pictures out of magazines, glue them into notebooks, and create suspect profiles for them. That’s what Nancy Drew will do to you!

So, let me back up. Sisters Quinn and Delilah run a B&B with their Grandpa Sal, but they are much too inquisitive and energetic to just do B&B work! Thank goodness for the skeleton that shows up in Quinn’s boyfriend Tucker’s aunt Lela’s backyard. Well, not good for the skeleton. And not good for Aunt Lela since she ends up in jail for the murder!

Quinn and Delilah are eager to clear Aunt Lela’s name since she’s the only relative that Tucker is close to. They promise not to put themselves in danger, and Tucker needs help. Since they’re “not” looking for suspects, only looking for anyone who can help them prove that Aunt Lela couldn’t have done it, Tucker agrees to let them help.

I’m sure you can guess how well the not looking for suspects part goes! I really enjoyed the characters in Southern Harm. Quinn and Delilah’s mom is a trip; their grandpa makes me want him as a grandpa; Aunt Lela is a spitfire…you’ll enjoy getting to know them all.

You’ll also enjoy trying to find the killer along with Quinn and Delilah. I’m sure you’ll have several suspects just like the girls (and I) did. Narrowing it down to “the one” wasn’t easy until close to the end.

Since this is only the second book in the series, I’m looking forward to seeing what else these sisters get themselves into! Cozy mystery readers, add this one to your Goodreads lists today!
