Welcome to Bramblett County Georgia where the tea is sweet, and murders always get caught.

LILY SPRAYBERRY SELLS HOMES AND SOLVES CRIMES

A Georgia realtor is selling a townhouse—but there are perils hidden in the property—in this witty mystery by the USA Today–Bestselling author.

As a realtor with a front row seat to the drama of small-town life, I know that sometimes the things I see can be a little too personal for comfort. But when I'm approached to list and sell the now deceased lacrosse coach’s townhouse in order to fund a scholarship in his honor, I jump at the chance.

After all, what could be better than helping kids while earning a living? But as soon as I get started, I realize that someone is determined to make sure the place doesn't sell - and they're not afraid to ruin my reputation in the process.

Determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, my quirky but efficient sidekicks and I set out to uncover the truth and protect my livelihood, while making sure not to disrupt my boyfriend, the sheriff’s investigation. But as the danger mounts and the stakes get higher, I realize that I may be in over my head.

Will I be able to solve the case and save my reputation, or will I wind up the next victim in my idyllic Southern town?

With twists and turns at every corner, this cozy mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

About the Author

Carolyn Ridder Aspenson writes sassy, southern cozy mysteries featuring imperfect women with a flair for telling it like it is. Her stories focus on relationships, whether they're between friends, family members, couples, townspeople, or strangers, because ultimately, it's relationships that make a story. Now an empty-nester, Carolyn lives in the Atlanta suburbs with her husband, two Pit Bull-Boxer mix dogs and two cantankerous cats, but you'll often find her at a local coffee shop people-watching (and listening.) Or as she likes to call it: plotting her next novel.

How hard can it be to sell a house

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

Coach Trammell was murdered in the last book and thus this book picks up where Lily and Belle are selling his townhome. The house was left to his sister and she wants to sell it and use the money made to provide scholarships for needing students from the local school. The problem is people are not happy to see the price war occurring between buyers cause they don’t want their community growing. But is it really that or something else? As Lily schedules an open house, someone vandalizes the house, not once but again. Lily is targeted as the “one” who wants to change the community and thus she is the scapegoat to all things. What will happen to the house? To Lily? Any why won’t she pick a date for the wedding to Dylan? Then there is the Women of Society Club with all their secrets. They know what’s going on but not saying a word. Who is doing all the vandalizing? Why? This was a fun, cute, and clean read. Once I started reading, I didn’t want to put it down. The characters were wonderful. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

I like this series because of the characters and the humor. There is also romance and mystery. This is a cozy mystery so there is no cussing or other such things. This book was very entertaining and hard to put down!! That is why I rated it 5 stars!

There's more drama to selling a town house than you would think.

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

When a town-home unit comes up for sale in the new mixed-use development in Bramblett county. There is a fierce bidding war for the unit. Some of the upper-crust natives who don't want the progressive community in town get their backs up and protest causing problems for Lily Spayberry.
When she goes ahead and list the property anyway, the unit becomes vandalized to prevent the sale.

Someone is out to make sure that this property doesn't sale unless it's under their own agenda. We have a host of suspects, including four snooty society ladies, a wealthy developer, and even a possible mob connection.

This is a fun story that has some humor, some cranky but hilarious elderly people, and enough twist to keep you guessing what the ending will be.

Fun Southern Series!!

Great book! I love reading about Lily, Belle, Dylan, and their charming Georgia town. Lily has listed former lacrosse coach, Carter Trammell's, townhouse in the multi-use development and it suddenly starts a bidding war. Some of the local people are unhappy with growth coming to the town. When Lily's open house is forced to be delayed due to vandalism, she is set out to find out what is going on. Later a local woman who had been against Lily disappears and Lily's kitchen is set on fire. She has to catch a killer now. Such enjoyable characters and storylines! Excited to read the rest of this series!!

The late Coach Trammell’s sister is giving the money from the sale of his townhouse back to the local school for scholarships. Everyone should be thrilled and hope to see the house sell for a huge amount. Not so. The house keeps getting horribly vandalized and Lily is getting terrorized. Lots of action and lots of humor keep you hooked to find out what’s really going on. Wonderful characters return (Lily, Bo, Belle, Dylan, Matt, Bonnie, Henrietta, and Mille) and we meet some new ones. A great mystery and can’t wait to read more of Lily’s adventures (hint - wedding!)

the epitome of a charming small southern town

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

In fictional Bramlett County, Aspenson has created the epitome of a charming small southern town complete with a cozy main street feel right down to the gossiping bitties in the local cafe. This cozy series drops shade like the Golden Girls with the sweetness of Steel Magnolias. I just cannot get enough of these characters. Even the secondary players steal the show. A fun, laugh out loud read with a side of mystery and suspense with a dash of romance. I highly recommend the series!

I really enjoyed Bidding War Break In. This book is entertaining and fun. I like the characters. I love Lily more with each book in the series. She is strong and has spunk. The characters are quirky and humours. The mystery is interesting and suspenseful. It has many twists. I will be looking to read the next book in the series.

Poor Dylan

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not enjoying this series as much as CRA's others, poor Dylan, I can't help but feel for a man who in years has to settle for a kiss on Lily's forehead in fact if I read one more "Dylan placed a kiss on her forehead" I'll scream😱I know this is a Cozy Mystery but please. The woman is nearly 30 years old and hasn't got a sexy bone in her body in fact her slobbery dog gets far more kisses and cuddles than her fiancé does and he sleeps with her!
