The book starts out with the viewpoint of three main characters: Piper (mayor of Honey Creek), Sam, and Colby. The author skillfully draws you into all these characters with her excellent character development and realism. It's truly a gift when an author has the ability to make you care about their characters as soon as you meet them. The book is set in a small town, which appeals to me greatly having come from a very small town myself. I understand how these small towns work....there's nothing the people won't do for you as a well-known citizen but they will treat strangers with polite distance. They are good at minding their own business -- as well as minding yours and everyone else's business. I'm looking forward to seeing how the two strangers (Sam & Colby) manage their introduction to this small town of Honey Creek....will it be a success or will they misstep? They're there to solve a mystery; will they succeed?

Ms Thomas might be a new author to me, but her skillful writing and excellent characterization has made me a new fan. I'm looking forward to reading this book and any others she has written!
