Bless Her Dead Little Heart

A Southern Ladies Mystery, Book 1

By: Miranda James

Narrated by: Emily Sutton-Smith

New York Times bestselling author Miranda James returns to Athena, Mississippi, with the first Southern Ladies mystery featuring Miss An'gel and Miss Dickce Ducote, two snoopy sisters who are always ready to lend a helping hand.

With the Mississippi sun beating down, An'gel and Dickce are taking a break to cool off and pet sit their friend Charlie Harris's cat, Diesel, when their former sorority sister, Rosabelle Sultan, shows up at their door unexpectedly, with her ne'er-do-well adult children not far behind.

Rosabelle's selfish offspring are desperate to discover what's in her will, and it soon becomes clear that one of them would kill to get their hands on the inheritance. Suddenly caught up in a deadly tangle of duplicitous suspects and deep-fried motives, it will take all of the sisters' Southern charm to catch a decidedly ill-mannered killer . . .

The narrator does a great job with different characters

I still think it was the niece as well . The ending was a ‘really! ’ for me. Haha you just never know.

Wonderful Cozy Mystery

A wonderful cozy mystery with Diesel, the cat, making an appearance. Love the southern language and antidotes.

Delightful Southern Ladies

These two ladies often are present with Charlie and Diesel in their adventures and it is great to have them star in their own mystery. Well written, charming, suspenseful, and characters you love immediately!

Clown Car Story

How many stories can you get out of a whodunit? Well in this book, there were way too many. I was looking forward to a good whodunit, but the side stories detracted from the main story and reall didn’t add anything at all. It did keep you wondering out of confusion who the killer was. These little side stories were also not wrapped up at the end. Bless your heart, Ms James.

Don’t like the reader

Do not like the narratator/reader. These characters did not sound this way in her other books. Never finished chapter 1.
