First there's the spectacular blaze that totals the antebellum home of genealogist Oliver Host. Then the appalling murder of librarian Estelle Carhart, a lady too softhearted even to collect fines for overdue books. Delia Cannon, a library volunteer and something of a genealogist herself, suspects a connection between the crimes and begins quietly to investigate. She doesn't yet realize that she already knows too much for her own good -- or that she and little Jesus Creek, Tennessee are in for trouble galore....
"An original sleuth, a delightful Southern setting . . ." D.R. Meredith
"Ms. Adams captures both the intricacy and style of a well-crafted classic mystery,
along with the comic elements of a truly Gothic Southern novel. In the process, she transcends both." ~~ Steven Womack
