Product Description:
Elizabeth Goodweather and her husband built a rewarding life in the hills and hollows of their adopted Appalachian home. But now Elizabeth is alone, her husband tragically killed, her children grown, the land around her filled with customs and beliefs she cannot share. It’s still a good life–tending the small herb and flower business–but Elizabeth’s fragile peace is about to be shattered.
Cletus Gentry vanished while hunting ginseng in the hills–and his mother is sure the childlike man was murdered. As Elizabeth retraces Cletus’s last wanderings, she will discover that a killer has been waiting all the while in the coves and hollows near her farm for her to see the light…and then come willingly to her own death.

This book so accurately describes the area, people, and way of life. I've lived in this area all my life and it's so comforting to find a book written about the Appalachian people that doesn't describe us in the sterotypical way of most "southern" novels. The only reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is a personal preference. I feel like the author is a little harsh and over the top on the religion emphasis.

I gave it a four rather than a five only because I felt the end was rushed, the stories that I were wading through trying to figure out the mystery, just kind ... Read More

I would have given this book 5 stars had it been only about the present day life of Elizabeth Goodweather and her neighbors. The Appalachian Mountains are a beautiful setting for a novel. The small town residents are interesting and the culture is fascinating. I enjoy stories with strong female characters and this book had several. Running a farm and a business after the death of a husband is not something many modern day women would attempt. I admire Elizabeth's pluck and her intelligence.

This book was written very uniquely, honestly and with a twist. I live in Asheville, NC and related to all the places mentioned in the book. I think I enjoyed reading something with romance, suspense, and every other emotion you can think of in one book and still not wanting to put it down waiting for the conclusion (and believe me it was a surprise)!!!

Cozy mystery readers should not be put off by the title; this is not a gory story, but rather an engaging trip deep into Appalachia. Vicki Lane has created a genuinely likeable, down-to-earth protaganist, and a host of interesting suspects in this yarn. I'm ready for her next one.
