Lowcountry Boil (A Liz Talbot Mystery, #1) — Book Review

Lowcountry Boil true

I read (and first reviewed) this book eight years ago. My decision then was: Great mystery. Loved the plot, the characters, the situation, the, um, everything about it?

Quotes by Norma Huss

“I'm not saying Abbott Computing Services suffered from an acute form of TV demographics, but, how did I get the job? I wasn't under 40. I wasn't anorexic slim. I didn't have a face that would launch a thousand ships, or even a rowboat. Of course, I was a temp, and the young and beautiful wouldn't have to look at me forever." Jo Durbin”
