Deborah Adams

All the Great Pretenders

Ballantine 1991 Paperback, 215pp. Twin Elms Inn Was Becoming a Three-Ring Circus..featuring the disappearing act of an eccentric rich girl and the psychic hired to find her. Innkeeper Kate Yancy has all she can do just to live there, let alone manage the place -- coping with a beauty-queen chambermaid, a religious-fanatic cook, a handful of eccentric guests, and a yardful of reporters. It's a heady shot of excitement for little Jesus Creek, Tennessee, already in the throes of a Sesquicentennial celebration. Murder is the only thing missing -- but not for long. Set in the sultry heat of a Southern summer, Deborah Adams's first mystery is alight with small-town mischief, modest mayhem, and a homespun cast of unforgettable characters who turn a rural shindig into a real-life soap opera. (ISBN: 9780345370754). Good.

Deborah Adams

All the Deadly Beloved

Ballantine 1995 Paperback, 226pp. SOMEONE'S BEEN NURSING A MURDEROUS GRUDGE AGAINST THE TOWN'S FAVORITE R. N. Everybody swears that no one would ever lay a hand on Jesus Creek's angel of mercy, nurse Patrice Gentry. But the reality is there for all to see--Patrice's red T-bird in the nursing home parking lot with her dead body inside. Police Chief Reb Gassler knows that though the victim may have been an angel, Jesus Creek isn't heaven and the charming widower, Dr. Steve Gentry, hasn't sprouted wings. In fact, he's said to be sleeping with more women than seems possible for a doctor with a full-time practice. While Reb hunts for the truth, a killer lurks in the shadows--and Jesus Creek teeters on the ragged edge. 'Jesus Creek, Tennessee, is so vividly drawn that I feel as if I can take a stroll through town. Deborah Adams has created a series rich in provocative themes and artful plots.' --Joan Hess. (ISBN: 9780345392220). Good.
