Still Life in Brunswick Stew by Larissa Reinhart
4.0
Review originally published at The Bookwyrm's Hoard.
Still Life in Brunswick Stew is a fast and fun read that takes you into small-town Georgia. I liked Cherry; she's feisty and smart-mouthed and fiercely determined to figure out why and how her friend Elise died. There's the usual mix of cheerfully and not-so-cheerfully eccentric characters, including Cherry's siblings and several of the suspects. And there's a not-quite-love-triangle going on between Cherry, her gorgeous deputy boyfriend Luke, and her friend and kinda-sorta ex-husband (Vegas wedding, instantly regretted and annulled) Todd. Reinhart nails the rhythm and flow of Southern speech; I could hear Cherry's voice and most of the others in my head as I was reading. If you enjoy your cozy mysteries Southern-style, Larissa Reinhart's Cherry Tucker Mysteries belong on your TBR shelf.
