I have been enjoying this cozy mystery series very much, but this 4th book in the series is the best so far.  I love the author's writing style-very smooth and flowing with enough detail so you can picture events and people but not so much you get bogged down in minutiae.  The main female character is a Southern Belle and in this book it's nice to see her growing up and getting beyond the negative parts of her upbringing and the prejudices that entailed.  The mystery in this book is more complex than in previous books and I found it hard to put down the book until I finished.  We are getting to know the main character's family more in this book and it is interesting to have them fleshed out and become more multidimensional than they have been previously.  A little romance and hot sex with the main male character but don't expect a happy ending in this one because you'll be disappointed-I'm hoping we will get a happy ending in the next book which is #5.
