Under the Skin

In Vicki Lane's Under the Skin, Elizabeth Goodweather of Full Circle Farm in the mountains of North Carolina is planning her wedding to detective Phillip Hawkins when her high maintenance sister informs her that she is coming for a visit. Gloria is convinced her husband Jerry is planning to kill her. Elizabeth and younger sister Gloria never got along when they were children. Gloria’s grown son Ben works for Elizabeth on her herb farm. Elizabeth tries to make peace with her sister by agreeing to attend a workshop in Hot springs with her. While at a séance Gloria believes she has found her long lost child.

Those familiar with this series know that author Lane interweaves the past into her books. Two story lines that are separate but complement each other. The past story is about two sisters who are crooked spiritualists at the same spa in Hot Springs in 1887.

Readers can enjoy a good mystery about the bond of sisterhood.   All six books in this series are interesting and enjoyable.
