The Darling Dahlias and the Voodoo Lily

By: Susan Wittig Albert

Narrated by: Peggity Price

Spring, 1935 finds the little Alabama town of Darling excited about their new local radio station, WDAR. But there are problems brewing at the newspaper, where a trio of new hires causes headaches for Editor Charlie Dickens. That’s not the worst of it, though, as the Dahlias discover when the newest resident at Bessie Bloodworth’s Magnolia Manor is found dead. She had overindulged in a large and very rich chocolate cake - but was something else baked into that cake? If so, one of the Dahlias is likely to find herself at the top of Sheriff Buddy Norris’ suspect list. That would give Darling something to gossip about!

And there’s plenty more to keep the tongues wagging. Will the ladies at the new bakery ever learn to bake bread? What’s happening in Liz Lacy’s love life? Will her new book be a success? And can Voodoo Lil’s special brand of magic keep Violet Sims from taking Cupcake off to Hollywood to become a Shirley Temple lookalike? But amid all these mysteries, one thing’s for certain: The Darling Dahlias just keep growing.

So good!

I have waited soooo long for the next Dahlias, now I can't wait for the next one! It was so good to catch up with all the folks, and I want to find out what Lizzie will do next!

The Storytelling is Enjoyable

A friend recommended me this series to me. I have really enjoyed listening to each book. I like the way Liz's character develops in this book. The story combined the human experience with empathy and humor. I like listening to people's lives in the 1930s. my mother was born in 1929, and had a limited view of what was happening in the nation during that time. these books help me understand something of the life my parents grew up in and the heritage that I inherited. for that, I'm extremely grateful to this writer.

Enchanting!

Every book in this series gets better than the one before. The insight into tough times and the spirited way women dealt with them is an inspiration for us today. The folk wisdom reminds us that there is always something more to learn, and technology is only part of the universe - maybe less important than human nature and nature itself

great read!! don't miss this book. wonderful story

loved this book. I plan to read all the books in this series. I have one of the characters last name of Bloodworth and will pass on to family.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Darling Dahlias!!!!

Pigging Price does an excellent narration. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
