The Darling Dahlias
review 1: Set in the 1930's this group of ladies brings you in to their world and their individual lives. You feel as though you are a part or silent character in the story, just sitting on the sidelines watching and listening. The necessary background chapters at the beginning of the book were an excellent way to introduce each person and put the reader right into the story. Definitely excited to begin book #2 in the series. This is definitely a series I wish I had known of and started earlier in my readings.
review 2: I always enjoy Susan Wittig Albert's books. This series is set in Darling Alabama in 1930. The attention to detail is remarkable. The local garden club becomes involved when a young woman is murdered. Although there are recipes in the back of the book, I
... moredid not really consider this to be a culinary mystery. It was a very good Southern mystery. The storytelling is seamless and the characters are strong and well thought out. I rate it a solid 3 stars. less

Quite a cozy mystery. This is the first of the series and remains true to the era....the 1930's.

Definitely prefer the China Bayles series and Beatrix Potter series to this one.
