Lethal in Old Lace

A Consignment Shop Mystery

By: Duffy Brown

Narrated by: Amy Tallmadge

Reagan Summerside returns in nationally best-selling author Duffy Brown's fifth Consignment Shop mystery.

There are two social functions in Savannah guaranteed to get people talking: weddings and funerals. And just as consignment shop owner Reagan Summerside agrees to marry the hunky Walker Boone, her neighbors, sisters Annie Fritz and Elsie Abbot, step up their business as professional mourners. They are so successful that the Sleepy Pines Retirement Center has hired them as a part of their retirement package. But the celebration over good business is cut short when the residents at Pines suddenly begin dying at an alarming rate. And the sisters are the first suspects.

Reagan has her doubts, however, and begins to look into the strange phenomenon. But then something even stranger happens: a body winds up in the sisters' white Caddy. The evidence begins to pile up, and the suspicious case of Willie Fishbine, who swindled the sisters out of a fortune and coincidentally died prior to the Pines case, is reopened. Not wanting Willie to be buried until they can find the killer responsible for the murders, Reagan must catch the culprit in time to walk down the aisle.

Witty, fabulous, and full of charm, Lethal in Old Lace is perfect for fans of Ellery Adams and Jenn McKinlay.

Silly, But Fun

I thought the dialogue was fun. I have no idea if people in Savannah talk like the characters do, but I liked the colorful language. In a weird way, it reminded me of a Wodehouse book.

Someone who wants to retreat from the real world, particularly while cleaning, might like this book.

Hilarious

if you love cozy mysteries and want a laugh or 3 . . . you have got to start off the new year with this book. all I have to say to Ms. Brown is ,girl you have a new fan and keep writing. looking forward to your next story.

Wonderful reading

At first, it started out a bit slow, but as I continue to listen to it, I really like this one as well. I love the narrator, and of course love the author.

Pretty Good

This is a pretty good story. The characters are engaging and the story is well developed. I hope all of the books are made available on Audible.

Murder with a Tinge of Humor

I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Murder, a bit of romance, some interesting drink choices and a couple of southern folks dispensing their own special spin on life, love and murder with some humorous situations make for great listening. Amy Tallmadge handles it all perfectly with the voice inflection that just seems like the frosting on the cake. Hope more will be in audible format soon.
