Plantation Shudders

With a cast of characters and a limited setting, the novel has a similar format to Murder on the Orient Express (1934). Certainly each of the guests had a reason to dislike the murdered woman but the actual crime isn't as well coordinated as in Christie's novel.

The setting had me nervous. I expected more rhapsodic praise of Southern gentility than even the Cat in the Stacks series by Miranda James. Maggie, though, appears to be more realistic about her town's history and her family's culpability as former slave owners.
