The Late, Great Sophie Dunbar
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I love Sophie's books and I was excited about each one as she wrote them. This, her first one, is fun, and _Bad Hair Day_ is probably my favorite. Her characters are witty and well-developed, and so in love. I went to elementary, junior high and high school with Sophie Dunbar, aka Gwen Belk of Florida. It was a shock when her husband called me on Mother's Day, 2001, saying Gwen had died. I think about her every day and miss her, loads. I'm glad she had the fun and satisfaction of a job well done in these charming mysteries.
A whacky, sexy delightful mystery

I'd seen this book mentioned on a mail list I belong to and being a fan of Diane Mott Davidson and G.A. McKevett, I thought this book might appeal to me. It did and in a big way.Ms. Dunbar's characters are believable and totally entertaining. Her dialogue is smart and sassy without being demeaning or crude. In one part, Claire delivers a scathing retort that had me mentally applauding her ability to reduce her victim to the size of an anthill all with the use of brilliant profanityless dialogue.I thought I had the mystery figured out up until the end when the author threw a curve and the spicy, steamy on-again/off-again romance between her and her erstwhile hubby, Dan, is quite humorous. Although this is the first book I've read by this author, I enjoyed it so much I am now reading the next in the series, Redneck Riviera, and plan to work my way through to her latest release, Shiveree.I heartily recommend this book.I'm definitley cheering for Dan
This sexy mystery does it for me!

This book is quite a genre straddler. It is a satisfying read for romance lovers and mystery lovers alike. It is a sexy, sassy southern romp with great characters and attitude. I found myself laughing out loud at the slightly ribald one-liners which REALLY worked in this book. This is a fabulous book with a dynamite combination of charm and laughs, an engaging mystery and sexy romance. Dan and Claire Claiborne are my heroes! I can't wait to read the next installment.
Felt like I was right there!!!

As I began reading this book and absorbed Sophie Dunbar's fantastic descriptive narrative, I was gently transported to N.O. and the "old-new" South. I felt I could smell the smells, and hear the deep-Louisiana 'accents'. The mystery itself definitely kept me guessing. "Oh he did it! No, she did it! No, they did it!?!?!?!?!??" The type of book you want to sit down and read straight through. Thoroughly enjoyable!
Good, fun mystery

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found myself so involved with it that I finished it in a day. I'm looking forward to future books by this author.
