For years Roxie Turner has been telling town folks of the ways she's going to do in her nemesis Georgia Collins. But when the woman's body is discovered in a landfill, the local law enforcement doesn't consider those threats idle. In fact, Roxie becomes the prime suspect in what develops into a string of murders.When Georgia ends up dead, suspicion falls on Roxie, a wedding planner, and it's up to her and her older sister Trixie to discover the truth to keep Roxie out of the slammer...with the help, of course, of sexy PI Greg, who has more than a passing interest in the suspect. Early in the investigation, a second murder occurs, then a third, and each victim is dispatched using a method detailed on Roxie's list. Now, the sisters must work in earnest to prove Roxie's innocence before something worse happens.Buried in Briny Bay begins a new series by novelist Bobbye Terry. She draws on a big helping of Southern charm, two zany sisters and a host of small town characters to flesh out this cute and fast-paced read. While some of the events were over the top, they fit right in with the overall quirkiness of the characters which include Trixie's husband Floyd, the ultimate couch potato and Suze, the bikini-clad sexpot everyone loves to hate.Briny Bay is a character in itself, and readers will love getting to know this town where nothing is secret. Just the ideal summer read and one to whet your appetite for more of Ms. Terry's considerable talent.
