WELCOME TO SOUTH CAROLINA, WHERE THE HOSPITALITY IS WARM AND THE MURDER IS STONE-COLD.

Attorney sleuth Avery Andrews has quickly built up a reputation for being the go-to girl when a mystery arises.

So when she is called to historic Charleston to get to the bottom of a fresh and perplexing case, she is more than ready for the challenge.

A local man goes on a shooting rampage. He was known to have a short temper and wasn't the most popular guy in town. But the reason behind the shooting is a mystery.

A young doctor comes forward with important information. He arranges to meet Avery at a restaurant off Folly Beach Road. But as he races to the rendezvous he's killed in a mysterious accident.

Avery must dig up the truth before more Charleston residents meet a grisly end.

MEET OUR ATTORNEY SLEUTH Avery Andrews is a thirty-something lawyer whose moral code wouldn't let her allow an expert witness to lie on the stand, even to win her case. She's lost her job as a malpractice defense attorney with a large city firm and has returned to her humdrum hometown to figure out what she does next. Her family wants her to stay, but she's not so sure that's a good idea.

THE SETTING The Blue Ridge Mountain Mysteries are small-town Southern US mysteries, a love letter to the author's hometown - though with the outrageousness ramped up and the crimes more twisty than what really happens. South Carolina is a tiny state but boasts much variety, from the southern reaches of the Appalachian Mountain chain in the northwest corner to historic Charleston on the coast, which is a mix of 17th and 18th century Europe and the Deep South. The importance of family and good food welcome readers into the warm - and sometimes deadly - embrace of the South.
