Trailer Trolls and Good Folks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Mary Beisner has written a first-hand account of her experiences as an owner of a trailer park. Her cast of characters come to life as she tells their stories, and how they transformed her life. The chapter titles are inviting; she is masterful with details. Each chapter ends with a zinger, often highlighting her own very personal learning. Mary Beisner's encounters with her "trailer trolls" exhibit her own kind of "faithing;" that is, she practices her Christianity through acts of good will at Airport Mobile Home Park.

I was stunned when I arrived at work Monday morning to see fire trucks, police cars, firemen and officers milling around the grounds of our newly acquired Airport Mobile Home Park What had caused the fire in Bernie and Betsys trailer? Was it an accident or the result of an on-going feud? Was this an isolated incident or merely foreshadowing of what lay ahead for us? Mary Eisners account of suddenly being thrust into the role of owner and landlord of a mobile home park with all its obstacles, escapades and challenges is humorous and at times poignant. A fast, fun read!

Leftover Dead (Trailer Park Mysteries (Berkley)) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have so enjoyed this cozy series. I'm almost embarrassed to admit how much I always look forward to the next coming out. That being said, this one just wasn't up to par. Although more specifics will follow, this installment felt a little thrown together--not as polished as the previous stories in the series.
In book five of the Trailer Park mystery series, Wanda Nell and her new husband, Jack, look into a murder that occurred 31 years ago in Tullahoma. The victim, Jenna Rae Howell, was a very pretty young woman who lived and grew up in a city about 4 hours north of there. Her murder was never solved. As a matter of fact, there was obviously a cover up. Jack smells the makings of a book. The sleuthing begins...
Up until now, Wanda Nell Culpepper has been the perfect cozy protagonist--smart, stable, sassy, mouthy, independent, and a joy to be with. Now she is married to Jack Pemberton and, if this installment is any indication, the union isn't doing her any favors. She comes across as less independent--more in need of the man in her life to make things OK. Although I previously considered Wanda Nell Culpepper to be a terrific everyone's mom, Wanda Nell Pemberton comes across as more grandmotherly--weaker, less sure of herself.
In the previous books, the primary focus was always Wanda Nell, her kids, the Kountry Kitchen, and Mayrene. In LEFTOVER DEAD, it is Jack....and his wife. I missed the familiar backdrop of the Culpepper family unit, and unity, providing that (cozy, if you will) stabilizing force. It was that force that made me want to join in and be a part of. In this one, instead of giving us a chance to get used to Jack being one part of the larger picture, we are handed a totally different Kodak moment.
Will I read the next? Definitely. I prefer to think of this as just a bump along the road of rural cozydom. But next time, "Ms. Evans", please allow us some of our familiar turf.

Waitress Wanda Nell Culpepper is barely hitched to her new husband, Jack, before the couple starts digging into an unsolved murder from thirty-one years ago. But a new death puts this cold case on the front burner.
