Customer Reviews

Nice southern mystery

I must admit I only picked the book up because of the author's last name. I had no great expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It made for a great weekend read. I couldn't wait to finish weekend chores so I could pick it up again. The criticism from one of the other reviewers was a bit harsh. Since I was born and raised in the south with my childhood in the 60s I don't think that a person "knowing" about the civil rights movement is the same thing as knowing how it personally affected one's family. Children were often shielded from the ugliness. It is not something we care to dwell on.
