CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Lowcountry Bombshell by Susan M. …

Susan M. Boyer is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Lowcountry Bombshell
Summary:
Liz Talbot thinks she’s seen another ghost when she meets Calista McQueen. She’s the spitting image of Marilyn Monroe. Born precisely fifty years after the ill-fated star, Calista’s life has eerily mirrored the late starlet’s–and she fears the looming anniversary of Marilyn’s death will also be hers.

Before Liz can open a case file, Calista’s life coach is executed. Suspicious characters swarm around Calista like mosquitoes on a sultry lowcountry evening: her certifiable mother, a fake aunt, her control-freak psychoanalyst, a private yoga instructor, her peculiar housekeeper, and an obsessed ex-husband. Liz digs in to find a motive for murder, but she’s besieged with distractions. Her ex has marriage and babies on his mind. Her too-sexy partner engages in a campaign of repeat seduction. Mamma needs help with Daddy’s devotion to bad habits. And a gang of wild hogs is running loose on Stella Maris.

With the heat index approaching triple digits, Liz races to uncover a diabolical murder plot in time to save not only Calista’s life, but also her own.
Review:
I picked up this book without having read the first, Lowcountry Boil, but that did not hinder my reading experience in the slightest! I’m a big fan of chick lit mysteries, and I had a lot of fun with the characters. The plot line with Calista – who looks like Marilyn Monroe and whose life seems to freakishly parallel to the late bombshell – was really intriguing. I liked that I was never quite sure who it was that was after Calista, and I loved when everything was revealed! I do want to pick up the first book simply because I think I would enjoy it, and I look forward to more!
4.5 stars
