Diner waitress Wanda Nell has plenty on her plate already--her two daughters, her biracial grandson, and her gay son. But when her estranged brother arrives in Tullahoma, she's glad for the chance to work out their problems. Unfortunately, Randy doesn't want to confide in her, and after a man he's quarreled with is murdered, Randy suddenly disappears. The local law considers him a suspect, but Wanda Nell is afraid he's a victim. She mobilizes her forces--which include a shotgun toting neighbor--...more
3rd installment of the Trailer Park Mystery series. I was hoping I would like Wanda Nell better in this story. I guess in cozy mysteries there has to be an aggressive personality to get in trouble and in this series that person is Wanda Nell. This time the mystery is her brother Rusty. He is back in town after many years getting in arguments with old classmates. Then there is a murder. Did Rusty kill him? Wanda Nell doesn't think so.
Heroine Wanda Nell Culpepper works two jobs to support her daughters and grandson in their modest trailer park home in Tullahoma, Mississippi. In this, the third in the series, Wanda Nell's brother Rusty shows up after a ten-year absence and won't say why he's come. Then some bad things start happening and soon Wanda Nell is investigating to clear her brother of a possible murder charge. The solution to the mystery lies twenty or so years in the past. Although you will find humor, salty Southern...more
In the thirs installment of this series, we learn that Wanad Nell has switched to diet coke, her boyfriend drinks heineken and her daughter eats honey nut cheerios! Lots of product placement and the same old stereotypes.
This one wasn't as good as the other two in the series plus it's a long time in between books so....
I really enjoyed this one. It's nice to meet another member of Wanda Nell's family too. Hopefully Rusty and her stay close.
This has been an enjoyable series of mysteries. Predictable but still fun. Great characters.
Even though the stereotypes are broad enough to make you roll your eyes, there’s just something about Wanda Nell and the gang that keeps it from being over-the-top.
Held my interest ,I thought it was a very good book.
..fun
better than the previous one.
I liked it, but it wasn't as good as the others. I didn't like the brother storyline. I didn't like that her best friend wasn't in on the fighting crime part of the story more. I missed the other characters. I didn't like that we didn't really get introduced to the bad guys more. I would have like to see Wanda Nell fighting with the sheriff more.
Hokey and heartwarming as always, but this one wasn't as good as the previous book int eh trailer park series, or at least it didn't make me care about it as much as the storyline of the last one did. Still a good quick cozy mystery with lots of Southern humor.
Evans is the Southern Janet Evanovich. Wanda Nell and her gang are quite a group.
Wanda Nell Cullpepper...what fun...I love these books.
