Bike Week Blues (A Daffodils Mystery) Move Over, Steel Magnolias. Move Over, First Wives Club.
The DAFFODILS* Are Back!
*Divorced And Finally Free Of Deceitful, Insensitive, Licentious Scum
Leigh is building a new, single life at the beach. Ruthie’s in town for a spiritual seminar. Flamboyant Penny Sue, hot on the trail of her latest soul mate, buys a Harley and follows him to Bike Week. In true DAFFODILS fashion, no sooner do the sorority sister reunite, then all hell breaks loose. Bullets are flying, a body is found and all clues point to Rich, Penny Sue’s new love. Unfortunately, Rich has disappeared into the hubbub of a half million bikers, beer bashes, and cold slaw wrestling.
With the help of Frannie May, a savvy, Italian widow from the South (South Shore of Boston, Massachusetts, that is), and a motley crew of bikers, Trekkies, and Navy Seals, the DAFFODILS must find Rich and unravel the mystery to protect themselves and the entire East Coast.
Customer Review: JerseyGirl must have teased hair
I’ve read the whole DAFFODILS trilogy and was surprised by JerseyGirl’s review. I liked all of the DAFFODILS books and the Southern characters. Surely the books are not identical to Evanovich, but they are close in plot and tone. (No exploding cars, though.)
Every author has their own style. Mary Clay’s style is close to Evanovich, but certainly not identical and I’m a big Plum fan.
Noting that JerseyGirl rated some stellar authors with one star and "pathetic", a bad review by her may be a plus!
Customer Review: I liked this book…
…of course I’m an old Star Trek fan and really cracked up at the Klingon thread. I also like the middle-aged Southern characters. Growing up in the South, I have known women exactly like them!
My job is detail oriented, so I enjoy light mysteries with wacky characters a la Evanovich and Anne George. The DAFFODILS fit that bill, hence I was surprised by JerseyGirl’s review. So, I took a look at her other reviews and realized we simply don’t have the same taste. I don’t like historicals and she doesn’t particularly like mysteries. I also didn’t see a single review of an Evanovich book. I’m a huge Evanovich fan, but admit that I thought some of her Plum books (especially the earlier ones) were much better than others. I wonder which Plums JerseyGirl was thinking about.
