These mysteries are like so many others that I have read
lately, and have become a favorite distraction of mine. They are light, fun, set in small towns that are full of quirky, and
also dangerous characters – a great, short time distraction for all that ails
us in our stressful, hectic everyday lives.
In Lowcountry
Bombshell, Private Eye Liz Talbot has recently moved back to the North
Carolina Island town of her birth, Stella Maris. Her new client is the doppelganger
of a certain 1950’s Blond starlet who died too early surrounding mysterious
circumstances that to this day still baffle us.Coming upon the 50th anniversary of said starlets’ death, Liz’s client, whose life has run a close parallel to the Blond Bombshell – at the beginning we don’t know if it was patented that way or fabricated, hires Liz to “…keep me alive.”
I do like how Ms. Boyer gets right into the flow of the
issues – starting with the first chapter – right off the bat. The story is full
of twists and turns, touches on crazy family members and unsavory characters, murder,
attempted murder, and even a bit of romance
and rivalry.
Unlike her counterparts in this genre, such as Janet
Evanovich, Lorna Barrett, Joanne Fluke, and even Charlaine Harris (her lesser
know characters – Harper Connelly, Lily Bard and Aurora Teagarden), I’m hoping
Ms. Boyer presents more scenes and background on the quirky cast of characters
of Stella Maris in future books.
I look forward to reading more of Liz Talbot’s adventures
for many years to come!
