Love the swamp team 3 ladies.

I absolutely love these 3 ladies.  The scenes are laugh out loud funny.  The writing is picture perfect as I can see everything in my mind which makes me laugh even more.  Ida Belle and Bertie are the best 2 old ladies in any book I've read.
It would be best to start from the beginning in book one as each ones builds on the next.  Fabulous series and I can't wait for the next book.

I thought that all three of these books involving Lauren and Chase, Alexis and Grant, and Haley and Wes were all very wholesome, likable, and believable characters. I can't really say that I had a favorite, because all three women were very strong, feisty women.  And I love stories about heroines like that the most. I also loved the three strong men who able to finally tame them, or should I say tried since I'm not sure they could ever be completely tamed. lol!

I would have preferred with a little less of the sex scenes, and maybe more of a story line, but that's JMO. Other's may have a completely different opinion.

Had to read this third book in the series as the first 2 were so good! Claiming Charity was a great read where the "Nameless Ones" and the women clash , yet again there was definite chemistry between Charity and one of the original 2 "Nameless Ones" leads to tensions and steam when deep in the swamps. Can't wait to read the next book.

I am so excited that there is going to be another book in this series.  I love the way the sisters work together and with others that have been introduced in the series.  You'll want to read each and every one of them.

The octogenarian Ducote sisters once again prove they are steel magnolias and that age is merely a state and mind in the delightful Digging Up the Dirt, the third installment in the Southern Ladies Mystery Series.

Dickce and Angel have been long-time members of the Athena Garden Club and are all set to discuss the clubs spring tour with the other board members.  However, the other members are more interested in seeing Hadley Partridge, who has come home to Athena after being away for forty years.  The sisters are interested in seeing how playboy and flirt Hadley has fared over the years, but the other ladies practically throw themselves at him.  Hadley is somewhat vague about his life but is surprised to find that the whole town believes that his sister-in-law Callie ran away to be with him.  One of the club members jokes that Callie must have been murdered by her husband, Hadleys brother Hamish, and the next morning she is found dead at the foot of her homes stairs.  The sisters have a hard time believing that Sarinda drank too much and fell to her death.  When a long buried bodied is found on Hadleys estate and another board member is found in dire condition after being run off the road, the sisters cannot help but think that the past and present are connected.  None of the club members are safe, and all of them are suspects.  Dickce and Angel, along with their ward Benjy, do sleuthing of their own to uncover all of the Partridge family secrets.

I am a big fan of Miranda James Cat in the Stacks Mystery series, also set in the fictional Southern small town of Athena, Mississippi, and it is fun to see the town from the sisters perspective.  Part of what I enjoy so much about the Southern Ladies series is that the sisters are in their eighties.  They are a fabulous mix of old-fashioned Southern manners and tough twenty-first century savviness.  They are spinster aunts that I would love to call my own  courageous, smart, genteel.  James does a tremendous job of immersing the reading in the setting, and I feel like I am right there beside Dickce and Angel as they sit down to dinner, gossip, or investigate.  Benjy adds a touch of youthful vigor to the mix, and Peanut the dog and Endora the cat are also fun additions to the story.

All of the action centers on the garden clubs board members and a few former and current members of the Partridge household.  The club members make good suspects, and their closeness to the sisters makes me feel all the more invested in the outcome of the investigation.  At first, I was unsure if I would like Hadley, but his charm won me over, and as the story progressed, he lost his playboy faade and became endearing.  I hope we see more of him in future books.  The past and present mysteries come together to make quite a compelling read.  There are clues along the way with a couple of red herrings and a surprise or two.

With strong, likable characters, a picturesque small town setting, and a strong, multidimensional mystery, Digging Up the Dirt is a highly entertaining cozy mystery that does justice to the genre.  Highly recommended.

I enjoyed the ambiance of Savannah and the clever ways of combining the gentlemen and slave gals. The gals are positive about their lives. Lots of laughter.

I absolutely LOVED The Hurricane Sisters! I loved the story lines of each of the women and most of all , I love that the issue of domestic violence is brought up (there by educating a few people) and I sure hope this encourages people to discuss domestic violence!

Faulkner and Cheyenne I loved their story too. There is nothing bad I can say about this series. I am really enjoying. Simply stories about loving and protecting the women they care about.
