"Who says you can't go home again?
"When Beth McKenzie returns to her hometown and attempts to turn an
old Southern mansion into a bed and breakfast called The Dixie Dew,
her first guest is murdered. Three days later a young priest who
looks better in tennis whites than cleric black is found strangled
in his chapel. The whole town of Littleboro is turned upside down,
inside out, and Ossie Delbardo, the town cop whose job heretofore
mainly involved controlling football traffic on Friday nights, is
not cut out to solve the murders. Beth fears her newly opened
B&B is in danger of failing. She's even more worried that she
is Ossie's number one suspect. Aided by her friend from high school
and trusty handyman, she sets out to discover the truth of the
murders.
Littleboro has its share of characters, some of which are helpful
and others misleading. There's Crazy Reba who lives in a tree,
bathes in any bathtub she finds empty, and Dumpster dives; Verna,
the town know-it-all and affectionate owner of Robert Redford, a
huge white rabbit; and Miss Tempie Merritt, music teacher and
organist who always wears hat, gloves, and lace-trimmed white
socks. When Beth herself is attacked, there's no more time for
baking muffins and stenciling pineapples on the porch. She's in a
race to uncover her neighbors' secrets before her hometown becomes
her burial ground.
"Doing It at the Dixie Dew" is a charming and delightful debut.
