I was fortunate enough to read the first book in this series, Booked for Murder, and I enjoyed its quirky southern charm and interesting mystery. Book two takes it up another notch, and I just absolutely fell in love with this book! The atmosphere is part of the book. All the literary and theater references add another dimension, and the characters are unique and intriguing! While Madeline had had the gazebo in her lovely backyard, which had been burned down, rebuilt, and her gardens there were lovely, her front yard and the entrance to the Old Juniper Bookstore was an eyesore with just dirt and stones. With the help of her friend Gloria, the Episcopal priest from across the street, they start digging up the front, determined to fill it with a special rose her Aunt Rose had developed "Ophelia's Last Laugh". Unfortunately, what they discovered was a dead body determined to have been buried there between the time Maddie's aunt died and her arrival, when the shop had been closed. When it was determined that the dead body was one Beatrice Glassie, a rich older woman, who everyone thought was traveling, things get crazy fast, as the victim's estranged sister is determined that Gloria killed her sister. With circumstantial evidence and southern small town politics in place, Gloria is jailed, and Maddie and company get to work proving their friend's innocence! From there, we get to meet a lot of people who were not exactly fond of Bea and Maddie uses determination, crazy theories and help from her friends to get Gloria off the hook and justice for Bea. This book was so much fun, I recommend it strongly. Thanks to #Netgally, #Minatour, and the author for a chance to read. #AllMyBones #OldJuniperBookstoreMysteries #PJNelson #bookreview #bookideas #retiredreader
