Caren has reluctantly returned home for a job and is taken back in time to discover hidden secrets about her family's past. What she does with this information is very interesting!

A working single mom, Caren was a fantastic character who was struggling with being a boss, but also a hometown girl. I loved her inner battle with herself and finding her place. With some mystery and intrigue this book had a great creepy factor that kept me turning and turning the pages! I wanted to know who the killer was and why they committed the crime and I was quite satisfied with the outcome! (no spoilers here!!)

A fantastic piece of southern fiction that takes you back in time, but through the eyes of current people. The twists and turns were timed perfectly and I would dare anyone to be able to put this book down at any point!

I felt like the book started in the middle. There was no preface, it just jumped into the middle of the story. That trend continued throughout the book to me- I felt lost. Did not even finish the whole thing.

Generations of Carens family have lived on Belle Vie. From slaves to running the plantation as a historical reenactment site. With a recent murder that her daughter has a connection to, Caren has more to deal with than ever.

For a book that is labeled mystery I found a lot of it was predictable but sometimes addicting to read. I say addicting because although I figured out who was working with the murderer I did not figure that Caren would keep so much from the police. The writing was okay I am not sure why but I could tell this was a newer author. It was interesting that the love interest part did not overwhelm the story, like some mystery books do.
