Great characters and a roller-coaster plot

What did you love best about Murder on Edisto?

C Hope Clark has given us a fabulous, edge-of-your-seat ride in this lush, salt-tanged South Carolina beach novel. Callie Jean Morgan returns, somewhat reluctantly, to the beach home of her youth after she had moved far away to carve out a career for herself and a life that wasnt ordained by her strong-willed mother. She was a top rate detective in Boston with a husband and son she loved fiercely when her life fell apart in one horrific night. Still adrift in grief and unable to pull her life together again, she accepts the gift of the home on Edisto from her parents hoping this new start is what she and her son Jeb need. But fear, suspicion and guilt continue to dog her along with an unknown killer intent on driving her over the edge. Edisto is filled with colorful characters starting with Callies quirky, perky neighbor who arrives to sage her home and rid it of bad karma and the handyman who lives out of his car. Theres a wealthy Canadian intent on wooing Callie and a bullying deputy who does everything to intimidate her. And then theres the hunky local police chief with a mysterious background of his own.

Callie wants to be normal again and protect her son from any more mayhem, but someone is determined that isnt going to happen. On her very first day in her new home Callie is driven to tearing down the beach in a panic trying to find her son with her Glock in her hand, gaining herself a reputation its going to be hard to fix. But the mayhem is just getting started. The twists and turns in this story will keep you glued to your seat until the final page. And when you finally do turn that last page, youre going to hurry back to buy Edisto Jinx and dive into the next chapter of Callies life.

What other book might you compare Murder on Edisto to and why?

C Hope Clark's Carolina Slade series - because her characters are so well drawn with depth and color.

Which character as performed by Pamela Almand was your favorite?

My favorite character in the story was the local police chief with his own troubled past, but Pamela Almand's presentation of Callie's quirky next door neighbor with her hippy, yoga, sage burning was spot on. Close your eyes and the woman came to life as you listened.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I only wish I'd had that many hours in a row to do so.
