The Guthrie Short Stories

Beverley Green Adventures #5

by Andrea C. Neil

The small town of Guthrie, Oklahoma has got it all: from a chicken with wanderlust to a rebellious high school valedictorian, to a septuagenarian who dreams of being Raymond Chandler.
Beverley Green has made some interesting friends since she moved back to Oklahoma and adopted Guthrie as her new hometown. These seven short stories feature the friends, frenemies, chickens, and cryptids you’ve come to know and love from the Beverley Green Adventures series. The Guthrie mayhem continues and you've got a front-row seat!

This short story collection comprises Book 5 of the Beverley Green Adventures Series, which follows our quirky GenX heroine as she navigates her new life after leaving the big city behind for small town living.

[Alan Bates · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Guthrie Short Stories is the fifth book by Andrea C. Neil in her Beverly Green Adventures Series. This book is a series of stories featuring the characters from the previous books set in Guthrie, Oklahoma. There are seven stories in all. Bookstore Confidential is the first one and it features Beverly Green, her female attorney, Kelly, and her landlord, Leona. Beverly is always in trouble with Leona. This story is funny as it is based on a bunch of misunderstandings, and I found Beverly and Kelly’s ogling together of men to be entertaining as well, and kind of hot in its own way. In “Bill’s Shop”, we find one of Leona’s lovers, Bill, opening a store. Leona only tolerates him because he is “good in the sack.” Bill is a basic kind of guy and he just wants to call the store Bill’s and is frustrated because nobody knows what kind of store it is. And so the stories go, each on a different facet of Guthrie, Oklahoma (where Beverly and these other people live). There is even a story about Beverly’s independent minded, mean ass hen, Beryl.
These are all good natured stories that surprise and please in their own way. Just what we need in this pandemic time we live in.
