In the latest Promise McNeal Mystery, once again told against the backdrop of the Western North Carolina Mountains, sorrow shadows Promise.
When all she wants is to creep into a safe corner in her house, her friend and neighbor, ex-bootlegger Fletcher Enloe, is suspected of murder. He has a festering motive from long ago, but so do a long line of suspects who disliked the victim, including a strange girl whose best friend is a doll in a box.
One by one, as old secrets find the light, Fletcher looks more and more guilty. But Promise doesn’t believe her friend is guilty of anything other than habitual crankiness. So, if she’s to save him from prison, she’ll need to carry her grief, step out of her cocoon, and expose the real killer.
