Synopsis

As Darling's town librarian is fond of saying: "Naked Ladies is not a respectable name for a plant." A lily by any other name would certainly smell as sweet-and look just as beautiful as the Naked Ladies decorating Miss Hamer's lawn. It seems Miss Hamer's house may also be home to naked ladies of a different sort. Rumors sprout that the elderly recluse's visiting niece and her friend are actually the Naughty and Nice Sisters from the Ziegfield Frolic, known for dancing nearly naked. When a well-dressed man from Chicago arrives, asking about the mysterious ladies, the Dahlias begin to suspect it may be more than modesty that's causing both women to lie low. Someone is covering up something sinister.

This is the second book in the Darling Dahlias series. These cozy mysteries are not page turners, however I find them charming.

Goodreads review by Lynn on January 25, 2022

I read the first in this series because a friend had given me these two books. I was hoping this one might be a little better. While the plot was ok, I had trouble once again with all the inaccuracies about life in Lower Alabama. While the Yankee author lists Month-by-Month Gardening in her bibliogr......more
