(Southern Eclectic, Book 1.5)
By Molly Harper
Narrated by Amanda Ronconi
Blurb:
A prank war erupts in Lake Sackett, Georgia, and coroner Frankie McCready has to turn to the gorgeous but surly new sheriff for help in Molly Harper's newest Southern Eclectic novella, perfect for fans of Kristan Higgins and Amy E. Reichert.
The McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop has crickets running rampant in the store and hot sauce in the Snack Shack's ketchup bottles. But as the county coroner, Frankie has enough on her plate without worrying about the increasingly mean pranks being played at her family's business. And the arrival of Sheriff Eric Linden, both devastatingly attractive and painfully taciturn, is enough to push her over the edge.
Linden, who didn't seem to get the memo about men in uniform and Southern charm, is condescending and cold, revealing absolutely nothing about his past as an Atlanta police officer, while also making Frankie's job as coroner as difficult as possible. And with the town's Fourth of July celebration coming up, it's essential for McCready's to be cricket-free and in good working order. Strangling the sheriff will make her job even harder. Can Frankie hold off the threats to preserve her own sanity?
With her trademark "clever humor, snark, silliness, and endearing protagonists" (Booklist), Molly Harper invites fans to return to the family they first met in Sweet Tea and Sympathy. Y'all sit down and stay a while, won't you?

Viviana's Review:
OMG OMG OMG! I had to have this as soon as it came out! Frankie is one of my favorite characters in this series and to get a little something before the full length book release in June (the wait is killing me).
If you haven't listened to this series, its a must!! You will fall in love with the McCready family and the town of Lake Sackett! A great story and then add the fabulous narrator, Amanda Ronconi, its a winning combination!!
While this is a novella, you get a full story that leaves you wanting more!! You get a little bit of everything and if you've read the previous books in the series, you'll get to hang out with old friends! I really loved that we got to hang out with Frankie and getting to know her a bit better! Lets take a few minutes to talk about Sheriff Eric Linden... you get a sense that there is much more to him than meets the eye. Discovering what's up with Eric is something that you will end up having in common with Frankie!
Amanda knocks it out of the park again! She nails Frankie's personality and the entire McCready family! As I said before, when you combine Molly's writing with Amanda's performance, its epic!
Overall, this is a MUST READ for the series and if this is the first book you read of the series, catch up! You'll love them all!!
Rating: 4.5 Stars - I REALLY LOVED IT
