And Not a Penny More (Bay Tanner Mystery, 2nd)
reviewed on + 32 more book reviews


Kathryn Walls In for a Penny is deft blend of Lowcountry intrigue, romance, and manners, propelled by a high-speed plot and a strong-willed and sexy heroine. The sense of place is as rich and aromatic as a simmering pot of Frogmore stew, and protagonist Bay Tanner dishes out insult and injury to stuffed shirts and evildoers with delicious aplomb. Be sure to put this one on your menu.
Compelling mystery captures the Lowcountry ...not only a good Hilton Head Novel but a good novel period.
Bay Tanner is plunged in the world of international intrigue when old school friend Jordan von Brandt returns to South Carolina to bury her mother. Widowed socialite Leslie Herrington is found dead in her South American hotel room. Natural causes the authorities say. Murder insists her estranged daughter who sets out on a campaign to enlist Bay's help in proving it.
