timewornpages 's review for:

Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan
3.0
dark lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Definitely a lot of gore and gross descriptions so be forewarned. If there had been a few less characters it might have been possible to get more invested in them. As it was I had a hard time keeping a few of them straight because they were quite similar. It isn't often we get books set in a funeral home and that was interesting. I'm not sure how accurate some of the investigation and funeral home procedures were and that took me out of the story a bit. That may just be because I do read a lot of murder mysteries. Overall it was entertaining and different.  I would definitely try this author again.

*Also highly recommend the audio book. Great performance. Only thing, if you don't like a couple characters that make mouth noises... maybe not lol
