Carolyn Haines's Southern Belle mysteries kick sleuthing up a notch with Sarah Booth Delaney, the sassiest heroine this side of the Mississippi. . .

Displaced from its New Orleans venue, a red-hot touring production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is opening right in the heart of Zinnia, and featuring hunky star Graf Mileau! Sarah Booth, who had her own brief stint with Mileau himself, is less than thrilled. Graf is now linked with his costar, Renata Troviola, a dyed-in-the-wool diva who plans to ride Graf's coattails all the way to Hollywood. But Renata's trip to the top comes to a screeching halt on the play's second night when someone laces her lipstick with cyanide.

It seems Renata was stirring up plenty of drama behind the scenes, making enemies galore: her long-suffering makeup artist, an extremely harsh critic, an angry audience member...even boy toy Graf had a motive. But the most damning evidence points to Sarah. Now, to save her reputation, Sarah reckons she'll have to bring the curtain down on a mystery with more twists and turns than the Old Muddy...

Praise for Carolyn Haines and her Southern Belle mysteries:

"Wickedly funny. Devilishly clever. Scintillatingly Southern. Carolyn Haines is an author to die for." ??Carolyn Har… (más)

Sarah Booth Delaney is back at her family home, Dahlia House, in Zinnia, Mississippi. She’d tried to make a go of a career on Broadway but found she wasn’t good enough.

What happens is Broadway comes to Zinnia in the form of the cast and production of “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.” Among that cast is an old flame and a diva for a leading lady. Items Sarah didn’t want in her life.

The second night of the play, Renata, leading lady and diva, turns up dead. There are plenty of possible suspects due to Renata’s behaviour. Unfortunately Sarah is the one who is put in the limelight, as far as suspects.

While Sarah was in New York for two years, she and the leading man, Graf Mileau, were quite an item and this was common knowledge in Zinnia. The fact that Sarah was Renata’s understudy just cemented the suspicions.

Sarah takes it upon herself to find the murderer and clear all suspicion from herself.

A fun, cozy read with a nice cast of characters and a touch of romance…Southern Style. ( )

It was quite a gripping part of the series, but I hated the ending, and where it's going. I don't think the main character should have given up on the sheriff Coleman, as he NEVER gave up on her, no matter how it seemed. She should have forgiven and forgotten!
I also think it's DUMB that the main character may be moving to Hollywood to pursue her acting dreams. HOW is that going to keep her investigative company going? How is that going to keep her around the Delta, which she supposedly loves so much, that she couldn't live without? that's what we've been told, over and over.. and now she's leaving. BOO.
Don't know if I will read the next book or not any time soon, and I own it. :-",,,1,,,0,,,,,

Well, I figured this one out almost right from the start, but the story was still engrossing, and still a good one. Very bittersweet. I'm dreading the next one as it's the one that receives the lowest rating of other readers, but I'm hoping to come out of it with the series back on track. ( )

Charming as usual, though not my favorite in the series. I figured out the "whodunnit" pretty early on - which is fine - but more than that, the story overall wasn't as cohesive and engaging as others. Also, Sarah Booth has suitors coming out the wazoo - I'm glad the Coleman situation has reached a resolution of sorts... ( )

This was a slow read at first but get very interesting towards the middle and end. I like seeing Sarah taking a chance on something new ( )
