Carolina Moon
by Jill McCorkle
"DELIGHTFUL CHARACTERS, LIVELY DIALOGUE AND GOOD STORYTELLING." --The Washington Post Energetic, voluptuous, and well past sixty, Queen Mary Purdy opens a smoke-enders clinic in the resort town of Fulton, North Carolina. Her unorthodox approach (aroma therapy? Massage?) provides much grist for the rumor mill. But Quees new venture is the least of the many scandals brewing in Fulton: a happily married woman entrusts her illicit secrets to a dead letter file; a mad-as-hell property owner seeks revenge for his recently-submerged investment; a radio talk show host longs to hit the big time, by any means. Quee knows these folks need help with more than their nicotine fits, and their troubles are all tied to that resilient little muscle known as the heart. . . ."Has the elements of a mystery, a comedy and a small town soap opera. In fact, it's all three and more, a book about loss and recovery, grief and resolution, meddling and responsibility." --San Francisco Chronicle

Mama Stalks the Past
by Nora Deloach
Mamas passion is digging up bits and pieces until shes solved a mystery. Long ago she decided that if we could get at the truth of a problem, we would have made a contribution to humankind. Most of the time I agree with Mama. This time, however, finding the truth about Hannah Mixons murder could cost Mama her life....Mamas name is Grace, but folks call her Candi because of a golden-brown complexion that puts you in mind of candied sweet potatoes. Mama makes her living as a case manager for Social Services, but her talent for cooking up the best food in Otis, South Carolina, is well known. When things werent working out for me in Atlanta, Mama suggested I come home. I soon knew Id made the right decision when I found Nat Mixon on Mamas doorstep threatening to tell the whole town that Mama stole his inheritance. It seems that Nats mother and Mamas neighbor, spiteful recluse Hannah Mixon, had just died and left a will naming Mama as her beneficiary--yet Mama had never spoken to the woman!Everybody in Otis knew Nat was one can short of a six-pack, but he was built like a tank and threatening Mamas reputation, which to Mama is as bad as threatening her life.When it turned out the bequest was 250 acres of land, and Miss Hannah had died of poisoning, a big drama was under way in a small town where inherited property is more valuable than gold.Mama couldnt see her reputation ruined--she had to discover why Hannah had left her the property and why the old woman had been murdered. And maybe that was exactly what Hannah Mixon expected her to do--why else had she left Mama a message to look for a missing envelope? But before Mama can find the hidden clue, Nat Mixon himself is brutally attacked. Mamas "sleuthing intuition" gets to working and, with the kindly assistance of three Otis women who should be on the FBI payroll for their expertise in uncovering other peoples business, my ninety-nine-year-old great-uncle Chesters grasp of family history, and me as her escort, Mama prows that blood flowed freely on Hannah Mixon's land. Land that somebody was willing to kill for...more than once. And unless Mama can uncover a secret buried for decades beneath greed and family betrayal--and now murder--she may never sleuth again....In Mama Stalks the Past, Nora DeLoach offers up a suspenseful tale of how family ties snap like thread when a large inheritance attracts a brutal killer....And she spins a tale featuring one of the most endearing and memorable sleuths in fiction today.
