Customer Reviews

A little different mystery

This series was a pleasant surprise for me. Unlike many of my favorite mysteries, since the hero is a man, I felt he was better equipped to face any danger and conversely I wasn't affected so emotionaly. There was just the right amount of light-hearted humor which brought realism to the plot. Makes you want to travel to Kentucky to meet Haskel Blevins.

Side Splitting

This woman writes the funniest books. I wonder where she gets her sense of humor! I had to read the book the second time to catch all the underlying subtleties and murmurings

Chicken murder mystery a winner.

This is another in her series of private eye Haskell Blevins books. Taylor does a nice job of describing life in a small southern town. The mysteries are usually good enough to keep you guessing. Plus, Haskell's dog is so weird, it's funny -- worth buying the book just to read about the poor psychotic pooch. The storyline is pretty convulted, but this is such a fun, fast read. I keep hoping there will be more Haskell novels. They are perfect for summer reading.
