Not nearly as good as many of her others. A tale of Confederate gold and eight wives and daughters of Civil War veterans and the scam they pull, plus some severe family problems, requires Elizabeth to fly back from Scotland to help her brother.

I was somewhat disappointed in McCrumb's sloppy use of Civil War history and personages, but then I can't write entertaining mysteries as she does. And I was certainly disappointed in what happened to the gold. But that's life.
