I hated that I had to leave my car, which, to reiterate, had everything that I owned in the world inside it. But neither did I want to spend the night on a dark road waiting for someone to show up and that someone might not even be friendly. Then again, who’s to say the people in the house would be friendly? I was walking off into something unknown.
I’d never been to North Carolina, nor to any Carolina for that matter. This whole move was all just one big calculated risk. What was one more?
After starting my walk, it dawned on me that the lights were further away than they first appeared.

Visit historic Red Rivers Planation. You’ll have a dog gone good time… and some delicious Southern treats!
Kari Jacobs has driven cross country from San Francisco and is one hour away from starting a new life and job at a law firm in Appleton, North Carolina, when her car breaks down near the Red Rivers Plantation. She was only looking for a tow, but found a mystery.
Ms. Sylvia, her sister-in-law Delilah and her butler Henry live at Red Rivers Plantation and they all seem to be stuck in the past. Kari can get their help, as long as she walks their two Great Danes and solves the mystery of the stolen Winters’ family bible. But theirs is a world of polite etiquette and stately manners, and Kari has a hard time getting them to talk so that she can figure out the answers they so desperately seek. But at least they make delicious Southern food, including peach pie!
Sylvia thinks the Bible was stolen by her bitter rival who owns the next plantation over, but she isn’t even sure when, and no one can explain why. Questions multiply and Kari can’t help but be drawn into a feud that reaches back into the last century.
It's Kari's first introduction to the South, their customs are strange, and she has far more questions than answers. Such as, will she ever get her car fixed so she can get to Appleton, and will she be rewarded for her patience by being able to meet the Great Danes’ litter of puppies before leaving town?
If you’re a fan of the Kari Jacobs Lawyer Sleuth cozy mystery series, you’ll want to read this prequel to find out what happened to Kari before she moved to Appleton, why she first starting solving mysteries, and how her furry sidekick Shortbread came into her life! * INCLUDES MISS DELILAH’S SOUTHERN PEACH PIE RECIPE! *
