Description

Issues within the city of Stone's Place, Sc, seldom get much spicier compared to additional red-pepper Lucy Nan Pilgrim sprinkles into her homemade cheese straws. Then when an aged but remarkably childlike lady calling himself Shirley turns up on Lucy's doorstep searching for her mother, Lucy believes it must certanly be another of her buddy Ellis's pranks. But Ellis does not know anything about any of it, and what's more, both believe the woman may be Ellis's relative, Florence, who disappeared as a young child more than fifty years earlier.When the mystical woman disappears from Lucy's home, she and Ellis do not know what to consider. And given that Calpernia Hemphill, the city's theatre and audio fan, has only been found dead of an apparent drop in the structure at Bertram's Folly, existence in Stone's Place suddenly appears less secure than sinister.Luckily, guardian angel Augusta Goodnight turns up to relaxed Lucy's nerves (using a container of blood treats, obviously).
