While looking through some of my scrapbooks, I found a note from Deborah Adams, (from umpteen years ago -- a response to a letter I'd sent her), and she recommended I give Teri Holbrook a try. At the time she recommended her, there only 2 books in this series, which I have found enjoyable. If you enjoy Southern Gothic, which I do, you should give this series a try.

Absolutely riveting mystery--one of the best "pulp" mysteries I've read--with a stellar climax.

I enjoyed this one, and agree with the comparisons to P.D. James and Minette Walters. Rich with details and atmosphere, this kept me interested, though not as emotionally involved as I would like.

too busy to read fast, had spinning, interesting interrelationships

Didn't care for it. Felt the story dragged.
