This is part of the Beauty Queen series of mysteries. I had previously read a couple of the earlier ones, and enjoyed them. So when this came out I purchased it, but only got around to reading it now.
This series features Happy Pennington as the main sleuth. She is helped out by her friends Trixie and Shannelle. Happy is asked to step in as a last minute judge for the Teen Princess of the Everglades beauty pageant. Soon after she gets there, one of the other judges is found strangled, so she and her friends begin their investigations.
The mystery is fairly light, and is a quick, humorous read. My favorite part of the series is the relationship between Happy and her friends, and between Happy and her family. There are some disagreements, but based on mutual respect and like, everything seems to eventually work out.
