Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mystery

review 1: Vicki Lane's books are on my "buy as soon as they are published" list because of the mountain atmosphere and the strong characters. Under the Skin doesn't disappoint.Interweaving two stories, modern and not, with little initial apparent connection works when both tease your imagination. The ending seemed forced, and detracted from an otherwise five star book. Ms. Lane's position on my purchase list, however, is still quite secure.
review 2: This was a great conclusion to In A Dark Season and well worth the wait. Elizabeth gets a visit from her troublesome younger sister, Gloria who's convinced that her current paramour is trying to kill her. But this also contains the companion story of Nellie Bly's undercover operation to expose "mediums" preying on guests s... moretaying at a mountain resort in the 19th century. All of this turmoil mirrors the turmoil Elizabeth feels regarding her upcoming marriage as she tries to navigate the complex feelings and relationship with her sister as well as her fiance.I love Vicki Lane's books as much for their story and characterization as for the location. I love the area and towns surrounding Asheville and the location becomes as much a character as the people that populate the stories. Her love for the area seeps through every page.There are so many rich characters in the Elizabeth Goodweather tales that I hope that this is not the end of the series but hopefully just the end of this chapter. less
