"The fabulous sequel to MOSSY CREEK!"

As much as I enjoyed MOSSY CREEK, I was apprehensive when I started reading REUNION AT MOSSY CREEK. I just hoped it could measure up. I'm very happy to say it more than measured up!

What I really enjoyed was that not only did we get to revisit current residents of MOSSY CREEK but we also got to meet new residents. We laughed and we cried right along with the Creekites.

This book took up where MOSSY CREEK left off. In this story, there's a mystery to be solved and Mayor Ida Hamilton Walker thinks that more than one resident knows something of what happened the night that Mossy Creek High School burned to the ground. This story involves a ram, an elephant and fireworks. Now all that's left is to get to the bottom of the whole story and making side visits to old and new residents as well.

We are told stories from all different viewpoints and different sides. Still and all, we don't really know what happened and who did what until the very last chapter.

I enjoyed reading these books so much that I really hope that these wonderful ladies will keep visiting MOSSY CREEK. I now know where I need to go when I need a fix of good old down home Southern hospitality and humor! Kudos, ladies, on two of the best books about the south I've ever read.
