I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Lowcountry Bombshell by Susan M. Boyer
Goodreads.com Synopsis: Private Investigator Liz Talbot thinks she’s seen another ghost when she meets Calista McQueen. She’s the spitting image of Marilyn Monroe. Born precisely fifty years after the ill-fated star, Calista’s life has eerily mirrored the late starlet’s—and she fears the looming anniversary of Marilyn’s death will also be hers.
Before Liz can open a case file, Calista’s life coach is executed. Suspicious characters swarm around Calista like mosquitoes on a sultry lowcountry evening: her certifiable mother, a fake aunt, her control-freak psychoanalyst, a private yoga instructor, her peculiar housekeeper, and an obsessed ex-husband. Liz digs in to find a motive for murder, but she’s besieged with distractions. Her ex has marriage and babies on his mind. Her too-sexy partner engages in a campaign of repeat seduction. Mamma needs help with Daddy’s devotion to bad habits. And a gang of wild hogs is running loose on Stella Maris.
With the heat index approaching triple digits, Liz races to uncover a diabolical murder plot in time to save not only Calista’s life, but also her own.
My Review: 5 out of 5. I loved book 1 (Lowcountry Boil..go read my review here!) in this series, but I REALLY loved book 2. I read this book in a 2 day period. It had me hooked from the very get-go. It was fun, sassy, witty and full of southern charm. Highly recommend!! I cannot wait till Book 3 comes out! 🙂

You can tell the writer knows her stuff, because those descriptions fit a whole lot of people I knew back in Southeast Texas. My favorite line – a gang of wild hogs is running loose. Can totally picture it in my head. Thanks for the intro to this series!
