Something off about this book, not just the fact that two older women are trying to bump off the new abusive and controlling husband of their childhood friend. I can't really put my finger on what seems off though. I keep wondering what interested me in this book originally and why I kept reading it. I think there were elements of cliche characters but that wasn't entirely what seemed to be throwing me off. The story was okay. I didn't ultimately dislike it - is just couldn't embrace it. A very interesting read. A bit slow to start, but interesting all the way to the end. Characters are very well-written and very easy to relate to as the author intended. It is always a joy for me to read books that are set in my corner of the world, and these ladies live just a hop, skip and a jump away from my home. I have always wished to belong to just such a group as they have joined together. And if it were so, I would wish that all of the members could be as interesting and intriguing as the ladies of the Tea-Olive Bird Watching Society. PS: I'm very curious as to why so many covers are available for this book. All of them quite good, but I think there are 7 and that seems a bit unusual.
I enjoyed this master story tellers mystery very much. Do not mess with the Bird Watching Society.

A nice, gentle read ... Southern genteel women with cores of steel, thoroughly enjoyable.

Not Sophie And The Rising Sun. I liked the plot but it was just not well executed.

Cute book...a little slow paced. I needed to get to the end quicker.
