About this product

Product Information

A spring day brings attorney Avery Andrews a new case. Fran French comes from Atlanta looking for her friend Neanna, who's more like a sister to her. Neanna went to Dacus looking for information on the unsolved murder of her aunt Wenda, and now she's missing.Twenty years earlier, Wenda's body was found posed on a memorial bench in the cemetery, her packed luggage at her feet, as if ready for a journey. When Neanna is found in her car, dead from a shot to the head, the police want to call it suicide. Fran insists it's impossible that Neanna killed herself and urges Avery to help her prove it.While Avery is sifting through Neanna's and Wenda's confused past and present, her office mate Melvin Bertram is befriended by a trio of ghost hunters who arrive in search of ectoplasm from the long-dead. The trio, christened "the ghosters" by Avery, hope to talk Melvin into investing in their TV pilot, oblivious to the fact that someone is baiting them with increasingly ridiculous ghost sightings. In no time at all, the ghosters are having altercations with the resident biker gang and with Avery's private investigator. Let no one say life in Camden County is uninteresting.In this latest in Cathy Pickens's Southern Fried Mystery series, Avery explores the nature of family--the ones we're born into and the ones we find--and learns about the haunting power of the past in the process. "Hush My Mouth" offers an original blend of humor and mystery, peppered with quirky characters and boasting a decidedly Southern flavor.

HUSH MY MOUTH: Southern Fried Whodunit With eBay Humor
What's not to love about a mystery that contains not just one but TWO eBay references? First, the heroine declares her intention not to have her law office turn into "a tourist photo op" like "the Virgin Mary in a Piece of Toast Museum"; then the Deputy Sheriff points to his impound's security as being a safer place to stash crime-involved vehicles than the patrol garage because "some'a those numbnuts'd have the thing stripped and selling pieces on eBay." I always wondered where people got all those car parts they're selling on eBay Motors, didn't you? Former big-city Avery Andrews has returned to her hometown of Dacus, North Carolina, to make a new start in small-town private practice. And she's got all sorts of business keeping her busy. First there's the team of ghost hunters who come to town in search of long-dead ectoplasm. They end up in trouble with the town's homegrown motorcycle gang and even Avery's own PI as local jokers send them on various wild-goose chases. Meanwhile, there's a real case involving a long-ago death: the 20-year-old unsolved murder of Wenda Sims. Her niece Neanna has come to Dacus to find out what happened to her aunt, and now Neanna's dead too. So her best friend and adopted sister, Fran French, comes to town and hires Avery to help her find some answers. Can Avery solve the two murders and prevent Fran from meeting the same deadly fate? And can she help the ghostbusters who are haunting the town? And what about Melvin, her housemate and office mate, who turns out to be an unexpectedly compatible square-dancing partner? With skill and humor, Cathy Pickens serves up murder and mayhem with a dash of North Carolina flavor in this "Southern Fried Mystery". If you like this one -- and you will -- you'll want to go back and check out the other three books in the series: "Southern Fried", "Done Gone Wrong", and "Hog Wild". Avery, her family, and her friends and cohorts just keep on getting better as the series continues, but Pickens includes enough of the back story in each book that you can start anywhere and still enjoy the ride.
