I finished listening to Absolute Fear by Lisa Jackson, New Orleans #4, and this is my end of the series. It’s just a rinse and repeat of the same themes with every book. Here’s my review.

Please note that it wasn't the quality of the writing...it was the subject matter.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 583 comments All Sales Final (Good Buy Girls #5) by Josie Belle
All Sales Final – Josie Belle – 2**
Book five in the “Good Buy Girls” cozy series revolves around the old house that Maggie has just bought with her fiancé, and the skeleton they find in the root cellar. It too way too long for the mystery to take off in this book. And I really don’t care anything about why Maggie is having such a hard time finding her wedding dress, a venue, flowers, etc. All that was just filler for a very sketchy and NOT well thought-out or plotted mystery. Seems the author lost steam; no wonder the series ended.
