Title: Very far-fetched
Product review: Pickard doesn't have a real "feel" for the South. Some of the mannerisms and customs she described were laughable. Southerners don't sit around and drink Mint Juleps unless it's the Kentucky Derby. I never heard of an 60's era Underground Railroad for blacks such as she described. If something like that were going on in a small town, everyone would know about it right away.The mystery in the plot was good. Pickard had me guessing as to who the villains in the story were. That's the only good thing about this book.
