There is something about the way Charlaine Harris develops the character, and Johanna Parker's delivery, that quickly endears the character to the reader. No wonder, then, that when the drama and the tragedy unfold, you cannot help but empathize with the heroine. It pierced my soul.

My only complaint is that this was never made into a series. Oh, and the references to Jane Austen were a welcome touch!

Powerful story

Narration was perfect.
There were moments so vividly told that I didn’t think I could continue the story. Few writers make me gasp.

Doesn’t quite have the polish of Sookie Stackhouse novels, but is entertaining. A little too awkward in blending southern charm and manners with crime.

Thought the plot was "draggy" compared to other books by this author. I've especially enjoyed reading the Lily Bard books. In comparison, this book was less intriguing.
