Thank you Harper Muse and BiblioLifestyle for the gifted copy of The Empress of Cooke County!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I enjoyed this one a lot more than I originally thought I would.  I am not a huge fan of novels that focus on Southern society, but this one is funny and unserious enough to be enjoyable.  I won't give anything away but the situation that the characters get themselves into towards the end is surprising.
