Dance of the Winnebagos (Jackrabbit Junction Humorous Mystery Book 1)

Good book. Interest all the way. Did they find the rest of the body? How long a sentence diss Sophie get?

This is the first in a series, when I read it I immediately bought the next two in the series. Great fun, a heroine who doesn't mind getting her hands dirty or breaking the law a little for a good cause. A scary mother and mixed up family all makes for a highly entertaining read.

Laugh out loud good, couldn’t put it down, funny and sexy in a cute way. Made me want to read the next one

It was ok, bit of a strange story but original, i guess and easy reading. A bit of romance and a bit of crime solving.

Well written I just loved reading this story I am now going to but the next as I need to find out what's next

Not as well written as some but still quite a good read.

I really enjoyed this book it made me laugh out loud and I couldn't wait to turn the next page

Brilliant

It was ok. The story kept me reading to the end, though the conclusion was a little underwhelming. I prefer her Deadwood series.

What could make a Winnebago dance? If you love a mystery filled with laughter and love, Jackrabbit Junction's the place for you.

I don't write reviews very often but felt the need to add my two cents about this book. I loved Claire, she was an intelligent, feisty, and good humored (she had to be to put up with those dirty old men :-) main character. I will say this book might not be for everyone. The grandpa and his cronies are very crude, but they are harmless. This story takes place in a little hole in the wall "town" in Arizona. I grew up in a small town and let me tell you-life is a little different in a small town and I found these characters very true to life-a little rude and crude but deep down they were good people. So if you can't deal with a group of dirty old men talking a lot of innuendo and stupid male humor then this book isn't for you. BUT HOPEFULLY that does not deter you because this story is really worth reading! It's just a good story that has all the elements- there is mystery and intrigue, a budding romance filled with sexual tension-but that's just part of the story, and the characters are true to life and funny. It was refreshing that it wasn't the same worn out story line that I have been reading. It wasn't some damsel in distress book and the hunky hero who saves the day. Claire could fend for herself quite well and Mac was not a cop or other kind of "protector", he was -I think the term was geotechnician- or something like that. You'll have to read the book if you don't know what that is :-)One of the reviews I read before reading this book that talked about Claire and her character t-shirts and how they felt it was childish. I didn't feel that way at all, that's part of Claire's charm.The interaction between Ruby and her teenage daughter-ah that brings back memories of my youth! Even the card playing brings back memories of playing cards with my family-all older than me by a few decades- and the banter that went with it- I remember my great grandpa would get mad and start hollering you gosh darn (not the actual words used) sandbagger! To me that wasn't really a distraction from the story line, it helped bring the characters and the town to life. Also knowing that this is the first book in a series makes it that much more important to really set the scene for future books. All of the characters were thought through in great detail and the writing style and dialogue made for an easy read. Sometimes I get caught up in other writers who feel the need to see how many adjectives they can use in a sentence and then I have to re-read a paragraph just to remember where I was before the words side-tracked me from the story. I really liked all of these characters. I just finished this book and have already downloaded books number 2 and 3 in the Jackrabbit Junction series. I'm really looking forward to number 3-just based on the title it sounds hilarious, but I have to read number 2 first-I think I will be up late tonight reading!

Great writing as usual but this time around I think I needed more back story on our two heroes here..I felt a bit bare in terms of understanding motivations and it was frustrating watching some things happen here time and again..still the story kept me guessing so that's pretty new and well done all round.

Oh, Ann Charles, you never fail to amuse me. You give me sassy women who stick their noses in things they probably shouldn't. You give me old folks who give me a giggle with their candid observations on life and the women they want to bed. You give me danger and mayhem and kisses that steam up the pages.ALL THINGS I ENJOY!So. Claire. She's fun. She has a vested interest in finding a way for Ruby to hang onto the mines she's about to sell. Her cynical outlook on men takes a beating when Mac drops into her life. He's a good guy and he sets Claire's panties on fire like it's nobody's business. Throw in a trio of nosy coots who like to share the stories of their conquests with the ladies and Claire's life gets complicated.Did I mention the mystery part? Because there is one of those. While the "bad guy" isn't exactly a secret, the reasoning behind why they did what they did is fun to unravel. Add in some spooky mines and a stubborn dog and you're just rolling in fun.While I don't know if I enjoy this series more than the Deadwood series, I'm completely willing to dive into book 2 and stick with these characters just to see what shenanigans they'll get into next. Honestly, they make me laugh and that makes me happy.-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal
