I love this series and this one didn't disappoint. Mayoral candidate, Chuck Peebler is shot with a crossbow while standing next to Suzanne on the back step of the Cackleberry Club. And if that's not bad enough another citizen of the town is killed, again in an awful way. What is happening in this quiet little town. It takes both Suzanne and the Sheriff to get to the bottom of the who and the why. The year is in full swing and now the ladies of the Cackleberry Club are hoping things are getting back to normal after all their mysteries of murder and mayhem. Their fall starts out that way, calm and normal, but it soon turns to murder, mayhem, and suspicion. The small town of Kindred is up for mayoral elections and they small town can't wait to get the old mayor out and Chuck Peebler in. His prospects of being the new mayor are soaring! However, he is soon stopped dead in his tracks...literally, when he is shot dead with a crossbow arrow outside the Cackleberry Club after an event there and a small tiff with a local woman. How can this be happening? Why was Peebler killed? Was it an accident or was it cold blooded murder? Soon it is found to be just that...murder. What the ladies of the Cackleberry Club want to find out is why was he murdered and by who. Can Suzanne dust off her sleuthing hat once more to find out what's going on in their small town before someone else is killed? The answer initially to that was no, because another man was killed. Are their murders related? Will a third person be killed?I simply am in love with Childs writing! This book was eggcellent! Hehe. I just can't get enough of these wonderful characters and their little Cackleberry Club. Every book I read further into the series, I feel more and more like I am a part of the small town of Kindred and I have come to know these three wonderful women who run the Cackleberry Club. This book hits the ground running with the mystery and mayhem and it doesn't slow until the last word on the last page. Childs writes in such a way that makes you want to read on in the series just to see what comes of the characters and their lives. Also, there is a re-cap of some things that are of importance to the present book from the other books, but not so much re-cap that you feel like you are re-reading the past books. She keeps her re-caps short and sweet, but they also do the job of making sure you remember the event she is re-capping or you understand it, if you have never read the books before this one. I think it takes true author talent to do that correctly. I can't say how much I loved this book, writing, or characters, but I'm sure you get the idea. This is a MUST read book!!!! Even if you haven't read the other books in the series, check it out because it would do well as a stand alone book too. I just don't want anyone to miss out on the charm of the small town of Kindred or the loving people that live there. 5/5 Stars!!!
