Learned a lot of interesting trivia in this story. An okay story line, but not as good as the Southern Mystery series. Hard for me to empathize with this heroine, a wealthy Buckhead wife of a husband whose Washington, D.C., job means that he is on hand only on the weekends. With her two children now out of the nest, Katharine's days seem to consist of meaningless activities (to me) until she becomes involved in the mystery of an heirloom found in her late aunt's keepsakes. The book mercifully begins to pick up after 5 or 6 chapters, and some very interesting characters are introduced. Still wish there was another story forthcoming in the Southern Mystery series...
