Somebody pushed Shelby Poinsett out her second-floor library window, and it wasn't her husband. At least that's what Charleston's most prestigious law firm wants Liz Talbot to prove. Liz must run the spectrum of Southern society, from the local homeless shelter where Shelby volunteered to the 100-year-old book club where Charleston's genteel ladies are dying to join, to bring a killer to justice.

Story
Kate McGuire’s life was sweet in Manhattan before she lost her restaurant job and fiancé both. But sometimes that’s just the way the cookie crumbles, and soon she finds herself starting from scratch in the island town of Coral Cay, Florida. It has everything she’s looking for: sunny beaches, friendly locals, and a Help Wanted sign in the bakery shop window. Once she convinces the shop’s crusty owner Sam Hepplewhite to hire her, Kate can’t tie on her apron fast enough. Little does she know that trouble, like warm dough, is on the rise.

For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. She’s had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone’s toilet’s overflowed, but she’s never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa, instead, two things are certain: There isn't enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect.

Before that eye-opening wake-up call, Marina would have described her life as average or uneventful, maybe even boring. But now, chaos and confusion reign supreme. She’d expected to slide through midlife with her unwanted extra pounds, chin hair, and hot flashes and move somewhat gracefully into elastic-waist pants and having no verbal filter.

Publisher's Summary
USA Today Best-Selling Author and Agatha Award-Winning Series
The Charleston streets are dressed for the holidays in sophisticated Southern style: topiaries adorned with red ribbons, garland entwined with white lights, and poinsettias potted in gold planters. The high-class bordello in a stately historic home is certainly no exception. When Private Investigator Liz Talbot's dear friend, Olivia, swears she saw a dead body in the parlor of this bordello, one Olivia accidentally co-owns, Liz promptly comes to her aid.
With her wedding back home on Stella Maris less than a week away, Liz must juggle one elderly madam, two ex and future in-laws, three ghosts in the bordello, four giddy bridesmaids, five lovely courtesans, six suspicious patrons...and a partridge in a pear tree as she tries to keep her bridesmaid out of jail and live to walk down the aisle.

Liz Talbot Book 4 - Just Keeps Getting Better
I thoroughly enjoy this series about private investigators Liz and Nate, their crazy families, friends and a ghost. The murder mystery was well written but the backbone of these books is the mature romantic relationship and business partnership between Liz and Nate.
Nate is one of my favorite male characters, a truly strong man who adores and supports Liz, while overlooking her flaws and appreciating her strengths. Since Liz was once married to Nate's brother, there are the occasional awkward moments as their wedding day arrives.
This is a wonderful series for women over 30 who enjoy romantic suspense with lots of humor, mild sexual content and absolutely no FSOG type domination. Nate actually loves and respects Liz (and vise versa).

I'm addicted to this series!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely. Wonderfully written, interesting and a fun cozy read.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes!
Have you listened to any of Loretta Rawlins’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The climax when they were finally married
Any additional comments?
Living in South Carolina, just an hour south along the coast from Charleston, I love and can totally picture where Ms. Boyer takes us. Liz is a fantastic, likable, HUMAN character. she's made mistakes, isn't perfect and her and her partner make the perfect private detective partnership.
I enjoyed the seasonal setting and descriptions of the decorations, homes, downtown Charleston and Stella Maris. Finally these two lovebirds get married and it's fun to see them juggle getting ready for a wedding and working a case.
The plot was great, and Ms. Boyer writes flawlessly. everything just flows. I had such a tough time stopping for the night.
This series, which started out wonderfully just keeps getting better and better!!
I can't WAIT to see what the next adventure brings! I completely recommend this series to lovers of cozies. It had me laughing while still trying to figure out whodunit!

A great mystery!
Reading a Lowcountry mystery is like a mini vacation to South Carolina. This series is the best! The books capture the graciousness of southern manners, a bit of humor, a little romance, believable characters and an intriguing plot. Many series seem to use similar plots - only the character names change. Not so with these books - the plots are always completely unique, SO interesting and incredibly well-written. This book is one of my favorites in the series - Liz investigates a murder at a surprising bordello... this will keep you guessing until the end. Fabulous!

Ghost warning
This was a recent BookBub ebook selection with an Audible companion under "Cozy Mysteries", so I bought it based on its Amazon, rather than its Audible, description.
It starts out fine -- a couple who are PI's trying to solve a case before their wedding in a few days. The main character talks about her deceased friend lending help occasionally. Uh-oh, not ghosts, I think. I can (barely) tolerate ghosts serving as conscience (Ian Rutledge) or appearing in the occasional dream (Scrooge's Christmas ghosts). I keep reading...
I'm giving up halfway through because ghosts have taken over the story. It is no longer a mystery, but goofy slapstick.
This has happened to me before! Book descriptions should mention when ghosts, witches, zombies, vampires, and other supernatural characters are involved. Being clear should help both fans of the genre and people like me, whose suspension of disbelief isn't willing to stretch that far, find books we enjoy.
At least it was discounted, so I didn't waste a credit!

Enjoyable as always
I went into this book thinking I wasn't going to enjoy it as much as the others, but I ended up loving it. The first few chapters I wasn't sure of, but it did gain a steady pace and I was left unsure who did the deed. And of course, I enjoyed the wedding.
One issue I am finding with all the books is how attractive every single character is. They have Sweet Valley High syndrome where every person is the most gorgeous person you have ever seen, and every head turns when they walk into a room.
As far as the series, I would rank it my third favorite, out of four. I enjoyed it more than Lowcountry Bombshell, but less than the other two. Not by much though.
