What readers say
Tonya Kappes is best known for prolific Southern cozy mysteries, especially the Camper & Criminals books, with the Magical Cures and Kenni Lowry series also well liked. Readers praise the humor, small-town charm, likable leads and easy comfort-read feel. The recurring criticism is editing, including typos and continuity slips, plus simple plots and, for some readers, a lead who grows more irritating over a long series. One reader also objected to a stereotype in a Magical Cures book. Recent reviews on her longest series are more divided than earlier ones.
Best for: Readers who want breezy Southern cozies with lots of heart and humor and are forgiving of rough editing.
