Canaan's Gate

Kathryn R Wall seeps her novels, the Bay Tanner series, in Southern cuisine. Bay drinks sweet tea constantly and always hungers after some fried meat or vegetable. The stories involve the importance of family and friends, and a sense of living in the past. The setting of all the books is Hilton Head, South Carolina, and the beach dominates the scenery. Bay's father died in the last novel, and Bay also discovered a half sister. Family troubles linger around the perimeter, and have given Bay insomnia. This story revolves around scams involving older people, and Bay investigating the deception. The story is fast paced, and quickly leads to a conclusion, all in a delightful tale.
