Product Description

A MYSTERY BRED IN BUCKHEAD - A Southern Mystery Southern Hospitality and Cold-Blooded Murder In genteel Atlanta society there are worse crimes than murder-such as missing Rippen Delacourt's annual Christmas party, a fifty-year tradition. As amateur sleuth Sheila Travis joins her family and cherished friends at Rip's gala, she never suspects that before the end of the evening, a long-missing, priceless manuscript will turn up in the hands of a disgruntled servant . . . and release enough closeted skeletons to fill Rip's guest list. Someone doesn't want the unpublished novel to come to light-and is willing to make sure it doesn't. As Sheila stubbornly pursues the manuscript, she makes a deadly discovery: the someone who has already killed to keep the papers out of her hands is probably a relative or a lifelong friend . . . who now is drawing a bead on Sheila. Sixth in the series. Reprint edition.

Summary: Needed a family Tree in thebook

This book was very slow going as I tried to keep up with who was related to whom, who died, who.....Clearly I needed to have read from the beginning, not the sixth book, to understand that was going on. I gave up which I do not often do. I think this is the type of writer that you either really like or not at all. I for one was disappointed, but then I am a British mystery buff so that might be the problem:-).A Mystery Bred In Buckhead

Summary: A Mystery bogged down

I usually love anything written by Patricia Sprinkle, especially her new geneology mystery series, but this one was bogged down in so much Southerness that I could easily have given up reading it before page 10.
The fact it cost me more than a regular paperback kept me going.
I lived near Atlanta for 10 years and they were a great 10 years meeting wonderful Southerners, but this novel never kept my interest. By the time the mystery got going and became interesting it was almost page 100.
Borrow it from a library, but save yourself the money and get a mystery with a bit more punch to it early on that keeps the momentum going the whole way through.

Summary: A Mystery Bred in Buckhead

I like both series written by Patricia Sprinkle. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. I think this book could be read by anyone over the age of 16 and enjoyed. Patricia Sprinkle brings all elements to her mysteries. You feel as if you are in the middle of this story and would like to know these people. Everyone has an "Aunt Mary" in their lives.

Summary: Loved it!

A southern mystery. Some of those silly southern sayings and the way they do things will make you laugh out loud and Sheila not being from the south originally makes it seem even funnier. A great cozy series!
