Lowcountry Boneyard Review
Boyer’s descriptions of Charleston and the island of Stella Maris – the architecture, the river and the sea, the monuments of by-gone eras – are nearly as mouthwatering as her descriptions of the food to be had in the dining rooms of local restaurants and in her characters’ kitchens. The same rich descriptions bring to life her characters: the wicked blue-bloods, the delightful guardian spirit Coleen, the hunkish Nate and the pig-headed Liz. The plot is as thick as a Charleston Okra Soup, with twists and turns that make the book hard to put down. Definitely a winner.
