hiding behind its gentle Southern comfort… Back home to

worrying that small town mouths are wagging…tragedy strikes. And when similar “accident”
occurs, Annalise knows she must get to the bottom of these small town murders—lest

Knott novels, both for its strong female lead and its rural North Carolina
setting.”—Booklist  “The well-drawn North Carolina
setting is integral not only to the plot but also perhaps to AnnaLise’s most
endearing quality—her abject terror of the area’s narrow mountain roads, full
of crazy switchbacks and heart-stopping overhangs.”—Publishers
