The story starts out slowly while the author sets up the characters and the backstory of the plantation. From that point, it picks up speed and is hard to put down. Caren is the thoroughly modern manager of Belle Vie, a one time sugar plantation in Louisiana. It is now a tourist destination, with every aspect of its past preserved, including the slave quarters and an ancient mystery. The discovery of a body begins her research into the history of the place and the past unsolved murder, who was also an ancestor of hers. Clues unravel slowly, right up to the last page. Nearly impossible to put down - I recommend this book! D.
