4 STARSI have liked the two books of Pecan Bayou that I have read. It is a cozy mystery with characters I find interesting and sometimes funny.Betsy now married mother of two teenagers. It is a big change for the newly blended family. She writes a newspaper column Helpful Hints. She also gets involved solving murder mysteries.Leo is a weatherman and has been asked to fill in for a sick tv weatherman Hurricane Hal. He had one son now another one. Leo is working two jobs right now. So hardly gets to see Betsy and the boys.Zach is 11 months younger than Tyler. He is having a hard time adjusting to a new brother and step father. He feels that Tyler is so much better than him.Tyler is the new kid in town. He is making friends and doing well.Rocky the newspaper owner is presumed dead in the fire of the newspaper. Rocky has made lots of people mad at him for different articles he has published. He has no family.Betsy does not want to believe that Rocky died in the fire. She is determined to find out what he was working on and their alibi for the time of the fire.There are a few suspects. I kept guessing wrong. Their is some other things in the story line that I did figure out early.I really liked the scene with the woman from the beauty parlor arrive to help Betsy. It is funny picture in my mind.I love the town of Pecan Bayou and their involvement with everyone business. The caring of different characters and their relationships to each other. The humor in the book is fun and made me smile a lot.I would love to go back and read the other books that I have missed in Pecan Bayou series.I was given this ebook to read and asked to give honest review of it.
