Book Report: Reunion at Mossy Creek by several authors

If you like down home type of characters and small town business--mystery in this case---then you'll like Reunion at Mossy Creek. Apparently not the first in the Mountain town series, I enjoyed the read. It did strike me as odd that it had about 8 or so authors for one book. But, I guess this attributed to the multi-character POV way of telling this reunion mystery.

The book is all about the mystery of the high school fire 20 years ago. The gossip columnist decides to send out a survey, asking "nosy questions" in honor of the "Burning Anniversary." It was homey feeling and the characters were down to earth. Each character told you all about themselves with a simple story that gave you a glimpse into the life of Mossy Creek, Georgia and a connection to the mystery. It was also humorous. Especially, the bit about Orville Simple and the Beaver!

The only complaint was the myriad of typos I came across while reading. Other than that, I would suggest it to anyone on a lazy afternoon.

Put it to the taste. Verdict: give it a shot, you may have a few chuckles.

P.S. And since the town actually exists, you can make a vacation of it!
