A Table By the Window

Carley Red has survived a troubled childhood, managing to create an orderly life for herself as a school-teacher in San Francisco. But her comfortable routine begins to unravel on January morning when a private investigator brings her news of a substantial inheritance--including a house in Mississippi-from a grandmother she can barely remember.

Carley makes a trip to see the house for herself, and the serenity of small-town living charms her into staying. Soon she realizes she has found the kind of life she has always desired--including an exciting career opportunity and even sparks for romance--but it's more than she bargained for when a mysterious murder threatens her newfound happiness.
