The only businessman not struggling is moonshiner Mickey LeDoux, though he still has to steer clear of federal agents. But banks are closing all over the country, and the small town of Darling is no exception. Folks are suddenly caught short on cash and everyone is in a panic.<\/p>\n<p>Desperate to avoid disaster, several town leaders\u2014including Alvin Duffy, the bank\u2019s new vice president\u2014hatch a plan to print Darling Dollars on newspaperman Charlie Dickens\u2019 printing press. The \u201cfunny money\u201d can serve as temporary currency so the town can function. But when the first printing of the scrip disappears, the Darling Dahlias set out to discover who made an unauthorized withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile County Treasurer Verna Tidwell questions whether she can trust Alvin Duffy\u2014and the feelings he stirs up inside her. And Liz Lacy learns her longtime beau may be forced into a shotgun wedding. Seems other troubles don\u2019t just go away when there\u2019s a crisis.

The people of Darling, Alabama are barely scraping by, so when Darling Savings and Trust closes without warning, leaving its customers with nothing but the cash in their pockets, panic ensues. The bank\u2019s owner has retreated to his house, and while the institution\u2019s new vice president supposedly has a top-secret plan to save the day, the townsfolk are unwilling to pin all their hopes on a stranger. Is the bank closed for good? Is their money gone? What will become of Darling and its citizens?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Darling Dahlias and the Silver Dollar Bush<\/strong> is the fifth of <strong><em>Susan Witting Albert\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> <em>Darling Dahlias Mysteries<\/em>. It\u2019s the third I\u2019ve read in this series, and while I\u2019ve grown quite fond of the characters who inhabit Albert\u2019s fictional universe and always appreciate the chance to catch up on their lives, to call this book a mystery would be a blatant mischaracterization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like all of Albert\u2019s tales, <strong>The Darling Dahlias and the Silver Dollar Bush<\/strong> is a well-mannered, character-driven tale that paints a vivid picture of a time in history about which I know very little. Albert does a marvelous job transporting the reader back to 1933 small-town Alabama, when food was scarce, owning gold was illegal, and banks could fold and take your money with them. And there\u2019s no shortage of drama here; in fact, Albert puts the residents of Darling through the wringer. But while I generally enjoyed my read of <strong>The Darling Dahlias and the Silver Dollar Bush<\/strong>, the mystery element is so mild and accounts for so little of the story that when it came time for me to write this review, I had to think long and hard on whether there actually <em>was<\/em> one. Without a puzzle for the characters to solve, the book feels a bit unfocused. There\u2019s no investigation to drive the narration, and as a result, the story doesn\u2019t have a climax \u2013 it just ends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you read <strong><em>Susan Witting Albert\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> <em>Darling Dahlias Mysteries<\/em> for the characters, <strong>The Darling Dahlias and the Silver Dollar Bush<\/strong> won\u2019t disappoint; if you\u2019re expecting a whodunit, though, Albert\u2019s latest can\u2019t help but leave you wanting.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/20821203-the-darling-dahlias-and-the-silver-dollar-bush\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em>\u00a0<strong>Kat<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/3_star_blog.jpg?resize=130%2C60\" alt=\"3_star_blog\" width=\"130\" height=\"60\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00IOE4OZQ?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00IOE4OZQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9780698144569\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9780698144569\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9780698144569\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Susan_Wittig_Albert_The_Darling_Dahlias_and_the_Si?id=-SlBAwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-14098\" data-postid=\"14098\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-14098 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National bestselling author Susan Wittig Albert takes readers back in time to small-town Darling, Alabama, in the 1930s\u2014where the Darling Savings and Trust has just [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,109,47,48],"tags":[146,367],"class_list":["post-14098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-berkley","category-kat","category-reviewer","category-reviews","tag-3-stars","tag-mystery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
