I'm so excited to review the third Sally Nimitz novel! This is by far my favorite book so far, as MaryJo Dawson creates a wonderful southern backdrop at an old plantation with diverse characters and strange occurrences. I love the fact that she takes the time to explore in detail the backgrounds of the characters and she paints a great picture with her descriptions of their voices and her nailing of their accents. Her story is about a family going back generations whose "ghosts" are coming out of their closets, but many of the family members want them left in the past. It is a complex story that is a fun puzzle to solve. It does involve a murder but there is no violence. You hear about the murder that happens next door but you do not hear about it as it is happening. There is no sex or romance. I highly recommend Sally's intriguing look at the strange happenings at Emlee House!
Rating: PG
No sex, no violence, D-mn-1, H-ll-2.
