When we last left Shiloh P. Jacobs in Staunton, VA, she had just become engaged to Adam Carter. As we return one year after Shiloh arrived in Staunton, she is working at The Leader, the local newspaper, finally using her degree in journalism again. She's in charge of writing criminal investigation stories and is intrigued by a cold case her photographer friend Meg lays on her desk. Amanda Cummings disappeared from Staunton 12 years ago, and no one has seen or heard from her since. When Shiloh begins asking questions about the case, mysterious things happen.

Shiloh receives a rose bouquet from someone other than her fiancé on her birthday. The message on the card makes no sense to her at all. The deeper Shiloh digs, the more clues surface that someone does not want her snooping into this case. There are mysterious phone calls and hang ups, more roses and notes with weird messages, drawings and emails that cannot be traced. And then there are some odd correlations in her mother's old letters. When someone begins stalking Shiloh, everyone fears for her life. But Shiloh is not one to back down from a challenge. When she should be thinking about wedding cake and bridal gowns, she continues to pursue this case. Will she live to see her wedding day?

This is my third visit to Staunton with these zany characters in this redneck town. "TIL GRITS DO US PART is just as much fun as the first two. Shiloh has now been cow tipping, experienced chiggers and knows more about kissing cousins than she wants to know. Although this book is a lesson in "redneck speak," bluegrass music and good Southern food, it is also filled with inspirational thoughts and a lot of philosophy about life. It's a story about endings and new beginnings. I highly recommend the entire series!
