When her mother begins losing her memory, AnnaLise Griggs returns to her North Carolina hometown of Sutterton, which is plagued by a series of killings. The first to die is a town ne'er-do-well, and the second a Japanese man who was set to open a sushi bar. As the attacks increase, AnnaLise is drawn into the community and realizes she must deal with her mother's worsening infirmity as well as find out who is behind these murders.
VERDICT The author of the Maggie Thorsen mysteries (From the Grounds Up) introduces an appealing new amateur sleuth who is calm, good-natured, and nosey for someone else's own good. For readers of G.A. McKevett and Joan Hess.
