Ripped Bodice

Jane Thistle is a widow who has just settled down in Tullulah, Alabama, after a long and happy life with her husband, a career military officer whose job took them all over the world. But now that shes on her own, shes just as happy to have found this delightful small Southern town to call home. Her new best friend is Phoebe Twigg, also a widow, who has lived in Tullulah all her life.

Phoebe is about as different as could be from the worldly and refined Jane, but her colorful personality and her warm, welcoming Southern nature make them quite a team. The two ladies bond quickly when they stumble on a dead body while on a walk in the woods near Janes new house. And thats not all. Someone seems to be threatening Janes neighbor, an old recluse who seems to have more interest in the land than in its inhabitants. When a firebomb explodes in Phoebes kitchen; and unexplainable sounds and objects turn up at the strangest times in Janes house, Jane and Phoebe quickly become partners in investigation in Mary Saums funny and charmingand surprisingseries debut.
