Gone with the Body
Before honoring her mother's bequeath for a signed, first-edition copy of Gone with the Wind, to a local historical museum, Carlotta attends its biggest fundraiser: a GWTW convention, where fans of the legendary novel compete for the role of Belle of the Ball. But death comes to Tara, and Carlotta is a lead suspect--unless Jack, Coop, and Hannah help her find the person who will lie, steal, cheat and kill to win at all costs.

Gone With The Body (Body Movers)
LOVED this Kindle World spinoff of Stephanie Bond's Body Movers series!! A lot of the regulars made an appearance and Josie did a great job with this storyline. Carlotta and friends went to a Gone With The Wind weekend. It was a great mystery with some twists to keep you guessing! Great fun!

Gone with the wind fabulous!!!!
I loved this bite sized glimpse into Carlotta's saga with the trifecta that is Jack, Peter, and Coop. The mystery had me guessing to the very end. Hannah and Carlotta have a wonderful friendship, and I was glad that we got to see more of it, and the fact that Hannah played such a huge part in the story. Fantastic read, now on to Body Movers 7.
