Lily returns in this fourth book in the Lily Bard (Cozy) Mystery series.
Another murder has taken place in Shakespeare, Arkansas. This time it's Deedra Dean, a well-known woman about town who's known for her somewhat promiscuous ways. Has her lifestyle finally managed to get her done in? And if so, it's not going to be easy for a small town police department to find her killer among the many men of Shakespeare who've been to her bed.

Lily Bard is still solving mysteries and being a good citizen of Shakespeare, AR. Lily's character is still strong. In this case, someone kills the town's party girl. Lily finds the body and later saves one of her clients from his burning home as she making her nightly walking rounds. With a little help from the girl whose body she found, Lily solves both crimes and nets the bad guys again. Fewer leaps of logic, the plot flowed well. Lily Bard is fast becoming one of my favorites.

Not the first in the series and I would guess not the best place to start it, though the author does a good job of filling in the back story. The protagonist has a surprisingly dark past for this sort of cozy mystery (an interesting point in favor, I think), but the plot of this particular story was a bit far-fetched.

I've recently finished this 4th installment of the Lily Bard series, and I must say, its been my favorite of the lot thus far; I'm sorry to see the next is the final book in this series. While I *still* prefer her Southern Vampire tales, I love the complex and quirky characters that Ms. Harris creates, and I'm feeling very at home in Shakespeare.

I am reading this now -- one chapter left. I have read four of Charlaine Harris's series.....my favorite is the Southern Vampires....but I find myself liking Lily Bard and Aurora Teagarden. This is the second of the Bard series I have read and I am watching how the characters change and evolve.
I did like it.
