 Biggie Starts with a Biggie June 9, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The first book in the Biggie series starts with a bang. A car belonging Biggie's boarder explodes, the mayor dies after a town meeting, and Biggie has to deal with someone trying to put a landfill on her property. The story is told in the narrative of Biggie's 12-year-old grandson, J.R., and makes you laugh out loud at times. This is a good mystery, but I enjoyed it better for the strength of the characters, the setting, and the relationship between Biggie and J.R. A fun, easy read for a hot summer day. Enjoy!
 Absolutely Charming August 20, 2001
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Nancy Bell has become my favorite mystery writer. After reading this absolutely charming book, I had to buy the other three books by her. I was not disappointed! I am anxiously awaiting for number five, Biggie and the Quincy Ghost. I have been an avid mystery reader for over forty years, and I can honestly say Nancy Bell is at the top.
Mystery and Humor Combined May 15, 1998
This story is told from the perspective of "Biggie's" 12 year old grandson - and a unique perspective it is. Those who like a rural setting with rich and unique characters will enjoy this book. The mystery is interesting, but the humor and collection of characters is what makes this book worth the time to read.
