I liked this second novel in the 'Trailer Park Mystery' series so much more because of knowing the characters. Not to mention, the writing was excellent, the plot tighter, and the subject matter so relative to today's world.

Another in the Trailer Park Mystery. The main character, single hard working mommy of 3 grandma of 1, is trying to find out who murdered her co-worker. She tries to stay out of things but it so happens that everything keep falling in her lap. I was sad that you saw her hair dresser friend once or twice, because the funniest part of the book seems to be with the both of em. Fact: This is a quick Read. Fact: It's got white trash written all over it, but still is smart. Fact: Not a bad little b

if you want to know the "liberal talking points" she managed to cover quite a few of them. Bad Christians, good gays, stupid cops, good lawyers, evil rich people, good wrong side of the track. The book was so predictable that I knew who the killer was as soon as she presented. There wasn't anything about the book that would stretch your imagination or make you think all it did was pass the time. I would't recommend it for anything else. If I hadn't been camping and didn't have anot

This is the second book in the trailer park series. Wanda Nell's boss Melvin is arrested for the murder of her enemy/fellow waitress who he just happens to be involved with. Wanda Nell knows he is innocent and sets out to prove it, learning along the way that her son is gay and dating her lawyer. I like this series, I just wish they would lay off the excessive hicky names! Also, I have never read more characters drinking Coke...is this author saying that only trailer trash drinks Coke or did Cok

After the morbid Dead Pet book, I was most relieved to get back to something a lot more fun. I only read the first book in this series to humor Liana, but I’m really starting to like the characters. Evans takes on the usual “poor white trash” stereotypes but spins them so instead of feeling sorry for—or contemptuous of—Wanda Nell and her family, you end up cheering them on. Mostly. There are some you want to smack upside the head, but that’s life I guess.

Second in the Wanda Nell Culpepper "Trailer Park Mysteries." These are so good because the author (in reality Dean James) does not look down on or patronize the characters, but sees their worth even though they live in a trailer park. Some interesting social commentary as well as good plotting and Mississippi setting.

Wanda Nell is back in the second of the Trailer Park series. In this installment, she has two mysteries--who killed her nemesis and what is going on between her son and his boss. Good plot and it's fun to follow these characters.

Wanda Nell and Mayrene are at it again! When at waitress at the Kountry Kitchen is found brutally murdered, Melvin, the owner, is arrested. Wanda Nell believes in his innocence, and sets out to clear his name and find the real killer.
In this book, we find out a lot more about Wanda Nells son, T.J., what has driven him to bad choices all these years, and the reason for his sudden turn around. The subplot about T.J.'s life is almost immediately easy to decipher, you know just where the More...

the second in the series of Southern trailer park/diner/small town mysteries, this one was even better thant he first. The author knows how to write a good mystery, and obviously loves adding the atmospheric touches - the descriptions of the diner, the Southern slang, the good ol' boys and their trucks, and numberous mentions of fried chicken. The thing that set this book above the rest for me was the part of the story in which a character has to admit that they are gay, and how that is handled

Pretty good little mystery, though the heroine can be a little dense at times when it comes to her own son. Maybe that's normal.

I like the main characters. I like the strong females in this book. I like that this series is set in Mississippi.
I liked this mystery. I have loved to see more interaction with the sheriff and her best friend. I missed those two characters. I guessed her son's big secret before it came out in the book.

I really enjoyed this series. This is the second one but you don't need to start at the beginning. I really liked Wanda Sue and I hope things look up for her. A fellow waitress is murdered and Wanda Sue's boss is arrested. It's up to her to keep the diner running and solve a crime at the same time.

Easy to read. I love to find new (to me) Mississippi authors. I will look for more books by this author!
