Its Christmas, 1934, and the citizens of Darling, Alabama, are unwrapping a big package of Christmas puzzles. NYT best-selling author Susan Wittig Albert takes us to a place where real people have courage, respect their neighbours, and dream of doing their best, even when theyre not sure what that is.
"This sweet book captures the true tone of a small town" --Times-Picayune, New Orleans "Albert does a beautiful job of blending a whodunit with a vivid portrait of an idyllic Depression-era Southern town." --Publishers Weekly "Excellent timely regional Depression Era amateur sleuth that brings to life the atmosphere of a period in which people are concerned over the economy that has left no chicken in almost any pot." --Follow The Clue "Cozy fans will be delighted to learn that the prolific Albert--known for her clever puzzles, engaging characters, love of nature, and outstanding historic research--is debuting yet another exceptional series." --Booklist Starred Review "The author of the popular China Bayles mysteries brings a small Southern town to life and vividly captures an era and culture--the Depression, segregation, class differences, the role of women in the South--with authentic period details. Her book fairly sizzles with the strength of the women of Darling." --Library Journal Starred Review
