When journalist AnnaLise Griggs returned to her North Carolina hometown, she learned a lot about her past, including the identity of her father, Dickens Hart. A legendary womanizer and founder of the Playboy-esque White Tail Lodge, Hart asks AnnaLise to help him gather his former lovers—with their (and possibly his) children—for Thanksgiving Day. The group has a lot of history, and they're not necessarily in the holiday spirit, but when one of them is found dead, AnnaLise must use all of her investigative skills to discover the truth behind the killing.
VERDICT Balzo's third entry in her "Main Street" murder mysteries (after Dead Ends) brings the NC High Country setting to vivid life, while intriguing interpersonal relationships keep the plot moving.
