Hi ladies! I am reading the Novel Idea Mystery series and every time I pick a book up I can't stop wondering which actual cities in NC are depicted by Dunston and Inspiration Valley. I'm one of those readers who has to envision the actual location of a story. At first I was thinking Dunston is Durham and I.V. is possibly Hillsborough. Now, with the mention of the Balsam Mountains can I.V. be Maggie Valley and Dunston, perhaps, Asheville? I'm loving this series and plan to read all of the other series by each of the authors making up Lucy Arlington!!
