This is a well written, grab and hold your attention, southern mystery. Dr. Promise McNeal, (who doesn't love this name), is an absolutely wonderful main character. Closing her practice as a counselor, she leaves Atlanta for the Appalachian area of North Carolina. Buying a general store and a home at the foothills of the mountains she's hoping to find pleasure running the store, enjoying the laid back atmosphere of the small mountain town, and providing counseling services only on a part time basis. Her highly tuned intuitive leanings seem heightened in this area so rich in mountain lore and unexplained phenomenons. It really begins with a dream and a phone call from an Atlanta attorney/friend requesting her services on a case. Of course, the two are connected, and the mystery is revealed. Great characters, beautiful settings, ghosts of the past, and a hint of romance, is what you'll enjoy in this mystery. 5 stars for sure.… (mehr)
