    About this ebook

    DELIGHTFULLY SOUTHERN, SUPRISINGLY EDGY, DELICIOUSLY UNPREDICTABLE

    "Cherry Tucker finds trouble without even looking for it, and plenty of it finds her in Still Life in Brunswick Stew…this mystery keeps you laughing and guessing from the first page to the last. A whole-hearted five stars." – Denise Grover Swank, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author

    Cherry Tucker's in a stew. Art commissions dried up after her nemesis became president of the County Arts Council. Desperate and broke, Cherry and her friend, Eloise, spend a sultry summer weekend hawking their art at the Sidewinder Annual Brunswick Stew Cook-Off.

    When a bad case of food poisoning breaks out and Eloise dies, the police brush off her death as accidental. However, Cherry suspects someone spiked the stew and killed her friend. As Cherry calls on cook-off competitors, bitter rivals, and crooked judges, the police get steamed while the killer prepares to cook Cherry's goose.

    Praise for STILL LIFE IN BRUNSWICK STEW:

    "Reinhart's country-fried mystery is as much fun as a ride on the Tilt-a-Whirl at a state fair. Her sleuth wields a paintbrush and unravels clues with equal skill and flair. Readers who like a little small-town charm with their mysteries will enjoy Reinhart’s series." – Denise Swanson, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Scumble River and Devereaux's Dime Store Mysteries

    "Still Life in Brunswick Stew proves beyond doubt that Larissa Reinhart and her delightful amateur sleuth Cherry Tucker will be around to entertain us for many books to come." – Lois Winston, author of the critically acclaimed Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery series

    “Cherry Tucker finds trouble without even looking for it, and plenty of it finds her in Still Life in Brunswick Stew…this mystery keeps you laughing and guessing from the first page to the last. A whole-hearted five stars.” – Denise Grover Swank, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author

    “The hilariously droll Larissa Reinhart cooks up a quirky and entertaining page-turner! This charming mystery is delightfully Southern, surprisingly edgy, and deliciously unpredictable.” – Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony and Macavity Award-Winning Author

    “This one [Still Life in Brunswick Stew] outdoes the first in its complexity and its quirkiness…Cherry is even stronger and sassier than ever, so much so that I expect we will soon hear that she has been nominated for the Steel Magnolia award for the strongest Southern woman character in a novel published in 2013.” – Forrest W. Schultz, Southside Book Reviews

    “If I liked Cherry before, I love her now. That girl has gumption and everyone better move out her way when she’s in the pursuit of justice…this action-filled whodunit [is] entertainingly delightful.” – Dru Ann Love, Dru’s Book Musings

    “Larissa Hoffman’s Still Life in Brunswick Stew is not to be missed by readers who love their who-done-it down-home with good food, good friends and livestock. Hoffman knows the south and her characters prove it, wise, witty and chock full of heart.” – Kimberly Brock, Author of The River Witch

      I got the first two books in this series free or very cheap, and the descriptions and reviews made them sound like fun reading. I read them both, don't know why... because I had them, because I thought they had to get better.. don't know. At any rate, the character grated on me from the start. Mystery readers deplore the character that is too stupid to live, and Cherry Tucker not only lives up to it, she seems to revel in it. Why she has the friends and lovers she does astounds me. Nor does bother to learn from her mistakes. My comment if I knew her would be grow up. We'll, those are hours out of my life I'll never get back.

      Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Michelle L. Olson:Still Life in Brunswick Stew is the second book in Larissa's Cherry Tucker Mystery Series, and our super lovable Cherry is back and getting into more and more trouble! The poor girl just can't help it.Like book 1, Still Life in Brunswick Stew is a delightful, light-hearted Southern mystery with lovable characters, fantastic dialogue and a truly fun story; the characters simply come to life on the page, and light up the picture of these quaint Southern towns vividly in the mind's eye.Beyond the new mystery of book 2, it was fun to enter Cherry's quirky mind and mull over the issues of her current relationship with Deputy Luke, while entertaining paranoia that her simple, stupid, and loyal as a Labrador ex Todd may actually be a genius in disguise, and master manipulator as well, all while acknowledging that she's inherited a disease from her mother - a weakness & stupidity for handsome men.This installment wasn't quite as fast-paced as the debut novel of the series, but there were enough twists and turns to keep it interesting (especially at the end - I honestly didn't see the final outcome coming!).My only complaint about the book was that I felt like there wasn't enough emotion displayed with regards to her friend's death. Yes, Cherry was hell-bent on finding Eloise's killer, but I didn't feel like she grieved...Still Life in Brunswick Stew is still a very good book & I would recommend it and its predecessor Portrait of a Dead Guy. - it's a solid 4 Skull read! :)

      4 STARSThis is the second book in Cherry Tucker Mystery. I like this cozy mystery. It is over the top fun. Cherry gets into so much trouble poking her nose into police cases. Never new who the killer was till the end. Lots of fun, tension, soap opera characters surround Cherry.Cherry paints pictures in a small town. She is not making money but keeps trying. She has a sister and brother who live on their Grandpa's farm with him. Her boyfriend Luke is now a deputy who works for her Uncle Will as Sheriff. Her ex-husband is still in her life. She has a enemy who is always around her boyfriend's house. Picks fights with her.Cherry and her friend Eloise are at a Bunswick stew fair selling their art. When her friend gets sick in her arms. Later she dies. Lots of people were sick from food poisoning at the fair. They just think Eloise other health problems caused her to die. Eloise family gets her body tested. No one is really looking into her death.Eloise family asks her to help. Cherry feels bad that she has not been a better friend lately so starts asking around in the town the fair was in. Cherry keeps getting into trouble.Luke tells her to stay out it. It is a police business. Her Uncle Will tells her that she is close to being jailed for getting in the way.Todd her sort of ex-boyfriend kissed her late one night. Cherry feels bad about that and guilty. She is also worried that he is gambling again. She tries to figure out what Max is doing hosting bingo games for old ladies at his big house.Cherry sure ruins a lot of dresses in this story with all the trouble she gets into. The worst part of the book is it ended. I want to know what is going to happen next in her life. This is a fun light hearted murder mystery. Not the murder it is all the stuff that happens around Cherry as she tries to figure out who killed her friend and why.I hope the next book in Cherry Tucker Mystery comes out quickly before I forget where this book ended.I was given this ebook to read and asked in exchange to give honest review of it by Netgalley.Published May 21st 2013 by Henery Press 288 pages ISBN:1938383400
