Move Over, Steel Magnolias. Move Over, First Wives Club. The DAFFODILS* Are Back! (*Divorced And Finally Free Of Deceitful, Insensitive, Licentious Scum) ***TV/Movie Rights Optioned*** Leigh is building a new, single life at the beach. Ruthie's in town for a spiritual seminar. Flamboyant Penny Sue, hot on the trail of her latest soul mate, buys a Harley and follows him to Bike Week. In true DAFFODILS fashion, no sooner do the sorority sister reunite, then all hell breaks loose. Bullets are flying, a body is found and all clues point to Rich, Penny Sue's new love. Unfortunately, Rich has disappeared into the hubbub of a half million bikers, beer bashes, and cold slaw wrestling. With the help of Frannie May, a savvy, Italian widow from the South (South Shore of Boston, Massachusetts, that is), and a motley crew of bikers, Trekkies, and Navy Seals, the DAFFODILS must find Rich and unravel the mystery to protect themselves and the entire East Coast.
The misadventures of the Daffodils were even more outrageous than in the previous book, The Turtle Mound Mystery. The author provides many clues while the plot-twists still keeps the reader guessing. This second of four books in the Daffodil series is light-hearted silliness and certainly not for for realistic murder mystery enthusiasts. Maybe I'll wait a while before picking up the third Daffodil book, Murder is the Pits.
