Really enjoyed this book. Great plot and engaging, believe characters. I was drawn right into the story. Would definitely recommend.

Divas Are Forever by Virginia Brown is the 6th book in the Dixie Divas Mystery series, and my first book by this author. I found this book to be laugh out loud funny, my favorite kind of mystery. I love the southern charm of this book which takes place in Holly Springs, Mississippi. I can not wait to go back and read the first five books in this series, it's like finding a treasure when that happens. I recommend this book for people who enjoy a fun with unique characters mystery.

I reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you.

The Dixie Divas, Antique Rifles and Civil War Re-Enactments
While this cozy mystery is the 6th in the series, it stands alone very well. Enough of the Diva's history is shared that the new reader is not lost, but not so much as to bore the longtime fan. The mystery is shrouded in Dixie-isms; Bless your heart, sweet tea and lots of good food. The book is long enough for the reader to get totally immersed in the details, relishing every bit. The ending scene is a bit risque, but the rest of the book is sweet and clean. I received this book for free and this is my honest review.

This book gets high marks on all fronts! The cover definitely catches your attention, then the jacket description makes you want to read it. The story line, while not new, works in enough unique characters that it's like meeting old friends to catch up on the local gossip. These people not only like each other, they work together to save an innocent man. Virginia Brown has taken her usual cast of characters and breathed life into them again. Her mixture of cozy mystery and laugh out loud entertainment, gives readers exactly what they are looking for, an escape into someone else's problems. The Divas are definitely a good read.

Fun fast paced cozy mystery. The cover of the book was adorable and the description caught my eye.
I'm not a fan of reenactment stories, but this author made it fun to read.

This book made me laugh out loud and was really fun to read.
I like the quirky and humorous characters and I liked the setting.
The book was well written and engaging, it's a mix of different genre and sometimes it get more humorous fiction than mystery.
The mystery was good and it kept me guessing till the end.
Recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

The crazy cousins are at it again. The southern belles (divas) are a hoot and have hilarious, exciting, and dangerous adventures. A fun series that never fails to entertain.

I’m very mixed on this book, while I adored Trinket, Bitty about Drove me crazy. I did enjoy the historical background, but was a bit lost without th character background. Not bad, but I think I’ve would have enjoyed more had I read the rest of the series.

DIVAS ARE FOREVER by Virginia Brown is the sixth in the Dixie Divas Mystery Series. The book is complete within itself, although there are some references to earlier books in the series and some relationships may have development in earlier novels within the series.

If you are looking for a book that has a heavy emphasis on humor, with a humorous look at what it’s like to be a “southern belle”, this novel may be just the ticket. Trinket and Bitty are fifty something year old cousins who are the central characters within this book and, judging from what is included her they are also the central characters in the other books as well. They are best friends and cousins who are opposite in looks, with Bitty being petite and Trinket being six feet tall, and opposite in possessions. Bitty is wealthy beyond her wildest dreams, owning expensive sports cars, an antebellum mansion, designer clothes and the latest in household good, all of which she enjoys and happily shares with those around her. Trinket, in contrast, is firmly placed in the middle class, lives with her parents, works part time and drives an older Taurus. While they are opposites in these external appearances, both Trinket and Bitty have a penchant for getting themselves in trouble, usually around dead bodies and trying to solve the murder.

The book opens with Trinket,the who narrates the story, trying to avoid having to dress in an antebellum dress for the latest reenactment of a local battle between the south and north in the recent War of Northern Aggression. Her cousin, Bitty, explains why she is committed to doing just that and this sets tone for the entire book. Bitty decides on various courses of adventurous (to use a term mildly) action and Trinket winds up participating in one way or another because she wants to keep Bitty out of trouble.

Adventures range from the mildly dangerous to ridiculous, with Trinket thinking she is the voice of reason although she is usually involved in one way or another, with as much at stake as Bitty. The reason for their adventures this time around have toer of one of the participants in the local reenactment and Bitty’s son being accused of the crime. Not content to let the experts solve the problem, nor leave it alone once doubt is cast regarding the guilt of Bitty’s son, the two cousins set out to solve the murder.

The humor in the book overshadows the rest of the story as the reader is treated to a series of increasingly outlandish actions by the two cousins. It gives rise to the thought that southerners, particularly, revel in their slightly eccentric, some might even say crazy, behavior. The book is entertaining at the outset, but becomes a bit repetitive as sit moves from one activity to the next. It should appeal to the group of people who want their books laced with a large amount of humor and who don’t mind that humor being aimed at the south and its inhabitants.
