PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Nora Alexander, the heroine of this saccharine series launch from Trent (the self-published Pecan Bayou series), drives from her home in suburban New Orleans to Piney Woods, Tex., to deliver a sealed letter to wealthy Adam Brockwell at the request of her dying mother, Kay. The evening of her arrival, Nora goes to a restaurant, where she meets a charming police officer, Tuck Watson, who can't resist giving her a chaste kiss on parting. The next day, at Adam's house, she's greeted at the door by his attractive son, Corey. Adam, who doesn't remember Kay, refuses to read the letter aloud after opening it. The day after that, Nora returns to Adam's house, where she and Corey find Adam's bloody body in the study. That Kay's letter condemns Adam for unspecified wrongs makes Nora a murder suspect in the eyes of officer Tuck. Forced to stay in town, Nora gets a job helping run and refurbish an old hotel. In her search for other suspects, Nora unearths secrets about her mother's past that lead her into danger. Cozy fans won't mind the rather unlikely solution.
