Thank you for the advanced review copy.

Wow - Savannah, so much is hidden beneath the surface of this charming Southern city. This tale uncovers some of those secrets. On a warm evening a gentle giant's attempt to help a friend leads to murder. A developer/slum lord is accused and hires society dame Morgana Musgrove's investigative firm to prove his innocence. The investigation ranges from the homeless community to the upper-crust of Savannah society. Morgana loops in her disaffected/disfunctional family, a homeless lawyer son, a judge, a nurse and a bartender/film maker granddaughter. It is a fascinating story of Savannah's past and present with some truly unforgettable characters.
This is a review of an eGalley provided by NetGalley.

Because of my past trips to Savannah, I was intrigued by the description of this book. A matriarch of an old Savannah family involves her children in a murder mystery that involves the history of a lost free slave community. I had a hard time with this book, at times wanted to put it down but I stuck with it. I loved the descriptions of Savannah and the historical sections on the free slave settlement off the coast. Also, I did not realize that Savannah has a huge homeless population. I feel that the author did his historical research on the book, I just sometime got lost with all the characters. That said, for those who love Savannah, I would recommend this book.
