Product Description
In Sheila Travis?s second case, she deals with a Charleston phenomenon called ?Northside manners,? which means you don?t look out your north side windows onto your neighbor?s southern yard and porch. A perfect set-up for committing murder because people are too polite to watch.

Summary: A thoroughly enjoyable Southern mystery!
This is the first book that I have read in the Sheila Travis series and I absolutely could not put it down! I have become very fond of other "Southern" mystery series a la Laura Childs and Tamar Myers, and this series definitely does not disappoint.
I found the characters to be very believable and the detail in which Sprinkle describes the nuances of Southern mannerism provides a good lesson in the sociology of the region.
The only challenge that I faced when reading the book was keeping track of so many characters. Each added a colorful element to the story, but I think the author also ended up having to jump around very quickly, and some of the characters may not have been as thoroughly developed as they could have been.
All in all, though, I really enjoyed this and look forward to reading other books in the Sheila Travis series.

Summary: Murder in the Charleston Manner
This was a pleasant read, well plotted and satisfyingly suspenseful. The characters were, mostly, believable in the role they played, with one exception: I found it difficult to believe that the murderer was able to commit the crimes in the manner described. The motives were convincing, just not the method.
Other than that everything fell together satisfactorily. With each successive installment in this series Shiela Travis's character becomes more fully "fleshed out," more real, and I find myself looking forward with a delicious sense of anticipation to the next episode in her life.
