Grave Consequences by Debra DuPree Williams
Reviewed by Sandra Merville Hart
Charlotte Graves is the new director of the local historical and genealogical society. She’s back in Loblolly after eight years but old hurts die hard. Or are murdered.
Before she knows what’s happening, Charlotte is arrested for the murder of Boopsie Sweets, an old enemy from her childhood. Worse, she’s arrested by Roan Griffith, the man who’d broken her heart back in high school.
There’s mystery afoot that only a genealogist can decipher!
Lovable, realistic characters invited me into a small Alabama town in the 1960s. Williams weaves an authentic feel with details such as music, clothing, decorations, and furniture. The characters seem to step off the page from an era 50 years ago.
The story drew me in immediately. It was a page-turner for me!
The story is well-written with escalating tension that kept me turning pages. I’ll look for more books by this author. Recommend!
