MURDER IN THE BUFF
By Maggie Toussaint
MuseItUp Publishing
Molly Darter is a charming, responsible mother whose job at the newspaper depends on her personally collecting a family-placed obituary from the Naturalist Woods nudist colony. Molly’s conservative policies collide with the colony’s testosterone laden male leader, Mama Leon. Convinced the dead woman was murdered, he insists Molly is the only person to find the killer’s identity. Molly has her own problems. She is convinced her hunky husband, Hadley Darter, has cheated with her irresponsible and trashy sister, Clarice. But Molly needs the newspaper job and that means obtaining the obituary information so she can meet her boss’ deadline.
Forced into investigating the murder, Molly opens Pandora’s box and learns more than she ever wanted to know about various leading men in Marshview, Georgia. She also learns that she knew the dead woman as the friendly saleswoman at the roadside organic vegetable stand. And Sheriff Otis Blizzard, the man who beat her husband in the last election, appears to be trailing Molly. Why is that?
MURDER IN THE BUFF is a terrific cozy mystery. Maggie Toussaint is a gifted author whose clever wit shines through to provide a fast-paced, hilarious read. The only point in which I disagreed with the plot was that Molly didn’t listen to Hadley’s explanation about Clarice. I won’t belabor that because this was such a great read with surprising twists and turns guaranteed to provide suspense, laughter, and a smile at the perfect ending. I’d give a 5 out of 5 rating to MURDER IN THE BUFF and recommend it highly!
This book was given to me for an honest and unbiased review.
