CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Tiara Trouble by Lane Buckman

Lane Buckman is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Tiara Trouble
Summary:
What happens when Dynasty meets Honey BooBoo, they have a baby, and that baby is raised by Charlie’s Angels? You get TIARA TROUBLE, a bedazzled cozy mystery full of gritty glitz.

One foreign policy question five years ago sent Destinee Faith Miller’s dreams of being Miss American Universe up in flames and landed her back in her hometown of Phenix City, Alabama, with her tail between her legs. But like the mythological bird that her hometown is misspelled after, she rose from the ashes to create Destinee’s Dolls, a thriving pageant consulting business knee-deep in pink, prints and tulle.

A death at the local level of a national event lands her the job of pageant emcee, and Destinee dares to dream of bigger things—maybe even a reality TV show! But when judges start dropping like flies, she has her hands full keeping herself alive long enough to see those dreams come true. Contending with catfights, car bombs, and the camouflage-colored funeral of a redneck’s dream, Destinee gets a little help from her friends, family, and a pit bull named Clarabelle.
Review:
Oh my, oh my. What a hilarious book! I’m not one to normally shout out books while I’m reading them, but I had to with this one. I laughed my way through the story, and my urge to visit the South only grew. I loved the beauty pageant storyline (and as someone who used to compete in pageants, I’ve seen first-hand the weirdness that goes on with them) and of course – I’m such a mystery junkie as well! I was reading parts of the story aloud to my friends so we could get a good giggle, and this book is definitely being added to my Favorites List! If you like a light-hearted mystery and a good laugh, check this one out!
