Big Trouble on Sullivan's Island

3 Stars - A sparkling new series from Boyer, a delight in the world of cozies. This has essentially the same lovable Southern setting as Liz Talbott, who had basically exhausted herself as a PI character after a long run. It's impossible to not compare the two. Hadley Cooper has a lot of quirky and fun potential but she's weird. Where Stephanie Plum has her sense of humor and donuts, Hadley has her cynicism and a vegan diet. I'm all for single ladies as main characters that aren't in the hunt for a husband and kids. But while Liz has a classy warmth about her, Hadley comes off a lot more distant. She has quite a talent for wardrobe charges though and a little potential romance as well. The first book here is full of side characters, from human to animals, sure to make a reader smile. And while it's a touch too long, it's packed with charm.
