Trailer Park Mystery

review 1: This is the 4th "trailer park mystery" by Evans. In it, Wanda Nell is married to her schoolteacher sweetheart and only has one child left at home. Someone tells her about a girl who was found murdered on the high school football field 30 years ago, a murder that was never solved, and Wanda Nell and co. decide the poor girl deserves better than that. Another stroll into the dark and twisted underbelly of a small Southern town...
review 2: Overall, I really liked it. I like that they were investigating an unsolved crime because it feels somewhat unrealistic for a small town setting to host so many murders throughout a series. It's especially difficult to suspend my disbelief that one character would find herself connected to every murder, in such a setting. Addit... moreionally, the main characters leave town to follow up on some leads and I really liked that. I guess I just need to see some changes of scenery, even in a book series. Miranda and Mayrene were pushed to the side quite a bit in this book, which was surprising to me. They were really only mentioned in passing. The author really focused on Wanda Nell and Jack's relationship, as well as the unsolved crime, of course. I was put off by a few small plot points, but not enough to stop reading the series. In fact, I am really looking forward to reading the next installment soon. :) less
