Preacher turns Investigator

New assistant Methodist preacher, Willa Hinshaw, gets more than she anticipated when she moves to Liverpool, NC. As soon as she arrives, a bride disappears and people start fearing the worst. Hinshaw befriends and comforts the families of the bride and jilted groom, getting pulled into doing a little sleuthing on her own. Hinshaw is a likeable character and somewhat gullible. Her life is in danger as she continues to investigate. Hampton made me feel right at home in the fictional Liverpool, and I enjoyed the budding romance with a Baptist preacher. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy a good cozy.

Great Character

I love all the details about small town life in North Carolina. The woman preacher is a great character and her occupation gives her the openings she needs to visit people and gather information about the crimes. The book was well-written and the suspense kept building until I couldn't put it down.

Great Read - Southern Mystery at it's Best!

Just finished Jilted by Death - started it and couldn't put it down. Wonderful Southern small town setting. Actually didn't guess the "who dunnit" to it until it was revealed. I hate it when you can guess the culprit in the first few pages. NOT THIS ONE. Had me guessing til the reveal.Love the descriptive writing about the small town atmosphere and life. I've actually heard and read about Blowing Rock, NC, so I can easily imagine what that house looked like at the end...you'll have to read it to find out about that.Willa's a great character - loved the different take on her with her being a young female minister. Mystery of it definitely held my attention and I wanted to "get to the bottom of it." Hope this author writes a sequel or at least another book with this character. Surely "Willa" has more mysteries to get drawn into. Hope they also keep writing about the small town. The book cover looked a lot like you'd imagine the town to be too. In all, very descriptive writer with a southern flair. Would definitely read her material again. Hope she'll write more with this character. I'd buy em.
