Catherine Linton's parents were killed in a car crash but Catherine Linton is suspicious and so she returns to her hometown of Lowfield, Mississippi where she takes a job on the local paper. Her father was the local doctor and when his nurse turns up murdered, she is sure that it's connected with the death of her parents though no one believes here. Lowfield is like many small towns in the South, on the surface it seems like a nice place to live, under the surface there are secrets and Catherine is convinced that someone's secret is getting people killed. Charlaine Harris does a great job with this book, it has suspects but when the real killer is revealed it's a shocker. This is a book that's easy to sit down with and not want to set it down until you're finished, fortunately at 290 and a quarter pages, that's not a problem.
