Product Description:
Elizabeth Goodweather knows what it’s like to be an outsider, to keep secrets and nurse wounds. But Elizabeth raised a family in these mist-shrouded North Carolina hills and is deeply settled on her small farm—even finding the space to let a new man into her life. Everything changes when her daughter Rosemary returns home, determined to solve a nineteen-year-old riddle: the mysterious disappearance of her best friend, Maythorn Mullins, when the girls were just ten.
Soon Elizabeth and her daughter are prying into the strange history of the Mullins family, confronting a complex thicket of relationships and exploring a realm of magic and Cherokee legend that Maythorn shared secretly with Rosemary.
But most of all, they will discover that behind a child’s disappearance was something more evil and far closer than they ever imagined....

This is a wonderful book, the best of three excellent mysteries set in the mountains of Western North Carolina. But before I praise the book, I want to take issue with the jacket blurbs.
Rapid River Magazine says "Regional mystery lovers, take note. A new heroine has come to town . . . ." (OK, I'm not even going to go there, as my students would say, about the dismissive noun "heroine," dragging, as it does, images of hot-pink covers and bodice-ripping into more respectable genres.) ...

I started reading "Old Wounds" this morning and read straight through the book only stopping to answer the telephone once. The question of what happened to the best friend of Elizabeth's oldest daughter became an obsession with Rosemary. The portrayal of a mother's concern for an adult daughter and of the daughter's desperate attempt to remember everything surrounding her friend Maythorn's disappearance was absorbing. As with the other books in the series, Lane occasionally uses flashback chapters which ... Read More

I picked this paperback up at the library because I thought it sounded interesting - well, I couldn't read it! The narration goes backward and forwards in time. Some of it is all interior thoughts in italitcs, no delination as to who's talking, no quotation marks! Oy - I gave up after about 30 pages. Once again, the author ASSUMES one has read the previous book and refers to things that the reader has no clue about! Does ANYONE edits these things??????

As with other Vicki Lane mysteries, hers are the best. Interesting plots with lots of twists and turns. I find myself staying up late to find out the conclusions on all her books as have my relatives who've borrowed my copies.

Vicki Lane has indeed done it again with her newest book, "Old Wounds". It captivates you from the first page and keeps you hanging til the very last paragraph ... not many books do this for me.
Although this is the 3rd book in her series, if you picked this book first you'd totally understand what is going on because she blends everything in so well, but I would highly recommend reading the first two. You won't regret it.
This is a truly gifted writer and one I highly recommend.
