Mountain Mourning

by Annis Ward Jackson

Rachel Myers receives a letter and a packet of information from a man she has only met twice and who has recently died under questionable, if not suspicious circumstances. Grant Taylor, a teacher at a private prep school, had become curious about the mysterious disappearance thirty years before of a young female teacher at another exclusive private academy and he pleads for Rachel's help. After Myers decides to continue Taylor's search, she finds the young teacher's remains in a lonely grave off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The "reluctant" detective probes her list of suspects and unveils their motives. Then comes the task of deciding which one is the murderer. Myers has never been more challenged or more perplexed as she confronts a steadily dwindling list of suspects. The real murderer is as much a shock to Myers as it will be to the reader.

Bought and read this book first time almost five years ago. It was under the re-read list. Love her books, character Rachel Myers is lovable, good and caring. Envelope and dairy she received starts her looking for the characters in the dairy. Old love story makes you feeling good and sad at the same time. Good short story, everybody would love reading this mystery.

This is from a series of mysteries. The Rachel Myers Murder Mysteries. I always find murder mysteries where the main character is not in law enforcement to be a little unbelievable. This is well written and a quick read.
