Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  Critterbee | Apr 16, 2018 |   Unlike the previous books, none of The Body in the Landscape takes place in Cherry Tucker's hometown of Halo, Georgia. Instead, all of the action occurs at Big Rack Hunting Lodge, Swinton, Georgia. Big Rack is the site of a special weekend boar hunt for "Hogzilla," a giant feral European boar. Two of the hunters have a side bet going, that one of them will bag Hogzilla. Cherry, a struggling artist, is there at Big Rack because she has been commissioned by these two hunters to paint the Kill Portrait of the winner with Hogzilla. While waiting for the hunt to begin, Cherry goes out into the woods to paint an autumnal landscape, because painting clears her mind from all the goings-on in Halo. Her mind gets so clear that she includes a royal blue blob that she sees in the distance, without realizing just how out of place it is. When she checks out what the blue object is (a ball cap), she discovers "the body in the landscape." The Swinton police rule the death an accident, but Cherry gets it in her head that the victim was murdered. Then she takes it upon herself to "help" the police with their non-investigation into his death, by asking a lot of questions of the lodge staff and the other hunt participants. Other incidents occur, sometimes with unclear targets. The lodge staff says they are just pranks, but Cherry believes the incidents are intended to maim or kill. The other folks at Big Rack aren't used to Cherry, and the way she gets when she involves herself in what may or may not be crimes. Some of the others even suspect Cherry herself of being the "prankster." Are these incidents just pranks, or murder attempts? Who's the target? And who's the perpetrator? For the answers to these questions, read The Body in the Landscape by Larissa Reinhart, rated an amazing Five Star read.

The feral hog has been terrorizing the Big Rack Lodge's property and surrounding farms. Cherry thought that this would be the perfect weekend getaway, a chance to get away from the family drama back home with the arrest of her brother Cody for kidnapping Cherry's old nemesis Shawna Branson. And if that isn't enough, Cherry's love life is a mess because her boyfriend, Sheriff's Deputy Luke Harper is the arresting officer! But wait, there's more ... the weekend getaway gets a tad bit hairy when Cherry and ex-husband Todd find a body of a man in the woods, and Cherry knows him! Can it get any worse? Cherry and Todd have to track down the killer before there are more people killed at the hunting lodge, including herself! This was such a fun whodunit to read, it had a great mixture of mystery, romance and humor. I easily found myself entertained by Cherry's craziness and her madcap investigative adventures. From Cherry's dysfunctional family, to her ongoing romantic issues, to her amateur sleuthing skills, this sassy southern lady's antics kept me entertained and laughing as I followed her quest to solve the latest murder case. With a zany cast of characters (many who return from the previous books in the series) who keep the reader in stitches with their witty dialogue and hilarious interactions; a storyline filled with enough drama, suspense and twist and turns that keeps the reader guessing; and a richly detailed setting that transports the reader to a quirky Southern small town; The Body In The Landscape is an entertaining cozy mystery interwoven with Southern charm and humor that leaves you wanting to go on more crazy adventures with sassy Cherry Tucker!

(  ) JerseyGirlBookReview | Dec 20, 2015 | Cherry Tucker thought she was getting almost like a paid vacation to paint the winner's portrait of the Big Rack Lodge's Hogzilla hunt, until she discovered a dead man! She had only talk to the old guy the night before and no one thought anything about how he died saying it was an accident and a tragic fall! Well that fact didn't sit well with her. Then a series of mishaps started to happen................... ( ) Linda.Bass | Nov 8, 2015 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

She is so spunky, and not 'normal' in the very best way. I will be anxiously awaiting another Cherry Tucker Mystery " - NetGalley Reviewer When Cherry Tucker's invited to paint the "kill portrait" for the winner of Big Rack Lodge's Hogzilla hunt, it seems like a paid vacation. Back home in Halo, a Hatfield-McCoy-style standoff builds between Luke and Cherry's families. She's ready for a weekend away, hobnobbing with rich and famous hunters, where she can forget her troubles and nobody knows her name. As Georgia sunshine turns to bleak December rain, Cherry's R&R goes MIA when she finds a body in the woods. While the police believe the local drunk took an accidental spill, Cherry has her doubts, particularly when a series of malicious pranks are targeted at the rifle toting contestants. With loyal companions at her side-sort-of-ex-husband Todd and a championship bayer named Buckshot-Cherry tracks suspects through a forest full of pitfalls and perils. And all the while, a killer's stalking the hunt party with a bead on Cherry.

Smart and funny, however - fair warning - a bit heavy on the hunting references.
