    <body><![CDATA[A slow starter.  I wasn't sure if we'd ever arrive at the heart of the mystery or the point of the book, but once the mystery of not only the murder but the history of the characters began to emerge the book went from mildly interesting to captivating.

    <body><![CDATA[Great new mystery series - with a twist!  Bree's new law office is in the middle of a cemetary for murderers in present day Savannah, Georgia (the most haunted city in America!).  I really liked the characters and the book was actually kind of scary in spots.  I will be waiting for the next one!]]></body>

It felt to me that it took the author about 40-50 pages to hit her stride, but once she hit it, the book was great!
