The Darling Dahlias

review 1: Embelzment --R. O'Neill Greenhow (Rose -- the confederate Rose-- spy -- shipwrecked and drowned because of hidden gold coins.)interesting side story about negative effects of potions for weight loss. perfect example of good historical COZY mystery includes references to contempary items to period being portrayed i.e. pg 192-- listing of novel of the time period including novice writer, Ellery Queen, Maltese Falcone by Dashiell Hammett and SS Van Dyne.
review 2: Albert is always a fine writer whose leading characters in a series develop increasing depth with each book. The Dahlia series has as lead characters seven or eight female citizens of the same small Southern town in the Great American Depression of the 1930s. The financial concerns a... morere always there, like a minor recurrent chord in a musical composition, but they do not dominate the lives of these determined women or the men they know and love. The ladies solve their problems by group action that is quite often original and always amusing. The Confederate Rose, third in this series, is the best so far of an excellent group. I am now moving on to the fourth book "The Darling Dahlias and the Texas Star." less
