Cherry is at it again in Halo. She and a friend Eloise have a craft/art booth at the Brunswick Stew festival when people start getting sick. Eloise is one of those unlucky people. When Eloise dies, Cherry is hot on the trail to find the murderer despite the fact that Luke forbids her to get involved. Luke can do that now that he is on the Halo police force. Cherry meets unsavory characters while looking for the killer and becomes not only a problem for Luke in the investigation but puts herself in harms way.

I do love Cherry Tucker and her series. It's a perfect cozy mystery: small town, plucky and nozy protagonist playing detective, spunky cast, drama, and a solid mystery. I also find her and her crew hilarious.
The only thing annoying about her is her thoughts on being a slave to her hormones and blaming her relationship problems on them, which came from her mom the slut. Ugh.

Review originally published at The Bookwyrm's Hoard.
Still Life in Brunswick Stew is a fast and fun read that takes you into small-town Georgia. I liked Cherry; she's feisty and smart-mouthed and fiercely determined to figure out why and how her friend Elise died. There's the usual mix of cheerfully and not-so-cheerfully eccentric characters, including Cherry's siblings and several of the suspects. And there's a not-quite-love-triangle going on between Cherry, her gorgeous deputy boyfriend Luke, and her friend and kinda-sorta ex-husband (Vegas wedding, instantly regretted and annulled) Todd. Reinhart nails the rhythm and flow of Southern speech; I could hear Cherry's voice and most of the others in my head as I was reading. If you enjoy your cozy mysteries Southern-style, Larissa Reinhart's Cherry Tucker Mysteries belong on your TBR shelf.
FTC disclosure: I received a review copy as part of a blog tour, in exchange for an honest review.

Cherry Tucker is a starving artist with a history of helping friends, especially those from the other side of the tracks. Her best friend, Eloise, convinces her to exhibit at the Sidewinder Annual Brunswick Stew Cook-Off, but the event nets no sales. Worse, Eloise sickens, is transported to the hospital, and dies.
Turns out, a slew of folks have food poisoning, though only two people die. Cherry is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery because she believes it’s no accident. Someone murdered Eloise and by God they will pay.
Red herrings and suspects abound, making this book a delight to mystery readers. Cherry turns a deaf ear to the cops, including her uncle and her current boyfriend, and presses forward. A delightful romp of southern fun, feminine sass, and outright zaniness that had me laughing out loud.
