review 1: What a fun start to this cozy mystery series! I particularly liked the characters in this one. Tally Jones owns an ice cream shop. She is fun and interesting, she tries to be a nice person, she's lived in Dalliance, TX all her life, she's close to her crazy sister and sweet niece, and she's even friendly with her ex-husband and her ex-boyfriend. Unfortunately her ex-husband's girlfriend drops dead after a party where Tally served her ice cream for dessert, so suspicion points to her. She decides to investigate, but it makes sense since she doesn't do anything particularly dangerous--just blunders around trying to make sense of the pieces of information she's able to discover. I love Finn Harper, the ex-boyfriend who has recently returned to town. Is there a romance ... morethere? Not sure. I even liked Wayne, the ex-husband who still feels comfortable about turning to Tally after being married to her for 17 years. There's an underlying sense of love and family and small town closeness to this book that I found very appealing. And I figured out the murderer close to the end, but just before the reveal. Good story, and I look forward to continuing with this series.
review 2: Wendy! I loved it! So much fun and just when I thought I knew what had happened, a curve ball! Loved the Southern charm and the foodie/ice cream references. And, of course, I LOVED the old high school flame's name. (Finn!) I have to admit I was nervous about reading it -- what if I didn't like it and I like Wendy so much!?! I should not have worried a bit and now I'm off to buy the rest of the series. So cool that I know a novelist...and very much enjoy her work!! less
