Dead with the Wind

Southern Ladies Mysteries, Book 2

By: Miranda James

Narrated by: Emily Sutton-Smith

In the second novel in the charming Southern Ladies mystery series, the spry, sleuthing Ducote sisters attend a wedding and uncover an unhappily ever after . . .

An'gel and Dickce Ducote tend to stay put in Athena, Mississippi, but a wedding is a good reason to say a temporary farewell to Charlie Harris's cat Diesel and go visit relatives. But while their stay in Louisiana is scorching hot, the atmosphere at the wedding is downright cold, with bride-to-be Sondra Delevan putting her trust fund above little things like love and loyalty.

When a violent storm supposedly sweeps Sondra off a balcony to her death, the sisters discover that many of the guests attending the wedding had major reasons to object to Sondra's marriage. Now, it's up to An'gel and Dickce to use their down-home instincts to expose dubious alibis, silver-plated secrets, and one relentless murderer who lives for "till death do us part."

Miranda James doesn't disappoint.

This story was absolutely delightful. I also love The Cat in the Stacks series by the author.

Grand Dames of the South

I loved these two ladies when introduced in Cat in the Stacks Mystery series. So happy to enjoy them having their own series.
