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.
