Eh.... It's trying to be Stephanie Plum in cowboy boots, but I prefer Stephanie Plum.

Cute, funny romance/mystery set in small town Texas

The book ends rather abruptly.

really enjoying the humor

It was ok but not enough for me to continue the series

I picked this book up at a book sale simply because of the title. I mean, could you really have a better title?! I was immediately taken with the story telling and the candid back history of the main characters. I came to really feel as if I was apart of the ladies' families. I also loved this book simply because the dialogue was soooo funny and witty!! I was laughing on the first page... how many times does that truly happen?!

I gotta admit the title drew me in !!!!

This is labeled as a romance but I found it to be more a mystery romance. I absolutely loved this and cannot wait to read the rest in the series.

Debbie Sue is determined to win the reward money for solving the murder of the nastiest woman in town.

She is not going to let her ex husband Buddy, the town sheriff, stop her.

With the help of friends, she solves it but almost becomes a victim. She and Buddy realize they are meant to be together and get remarried.

Debbie Sue is a nut job. But I enjoyed this book.

3.5 Stars.
This book falls more into the romance and chick lit genre than a cozy mystery. The mystery part does keep you guessing, but the romantic angst totally overshadows it. I liked Debbie Sue and Edwina. The majority of the book was about the girls' backstory and their relationships with the men in their lives. I understand why so much time was spent on this aspect because this is the first book in the series. But, at about the halfway point, no progress had been made in the mystery and I was bored. I will probably continue to read this series, but not anytime soon.

Another book that was just OK for me...wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but you could read it as filler.

Soooo funny!!! I loved everything about this book!!!

Another female with life issues that controls most of her actions. And like many 'cozy' mysteries she is not a detective but tries to solve a murder. And like so many other hair dressers - house maids - single moms - etc - she is way over her head. That said, this was an interesting book since she also has a warped sense of humor and her exploits are all funny, it is set in west Texas where I am stuck now and even in two towns I either live in or visit monthly.
