From the moment I opened the first page, I was immediately drawn into the scenery and the characters. I felt like I was in the South, sitting in the same room as they were, seeing what they were seeing. Under the Liberty Oak is a page turner, and Paige Cummings writes beautifully and I want a sequel! Highly recommended.

I loved this book and couldn't put it down. It was an excellent mystery with a great story going between the present and 1964. I appreciate all of the descriptions and beautiful words. It made me feel like I was right there with the characters. I can't wait for either more about Brittan Lee or more from the author.

This review is from: Under the Liberty Oak (Paperback)

Under the Liberty Oak is an entertaining mystery story. It is set in southeast Georgia around the Marshes of Glynn and will surely be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys the coastal south. You can smell the marsh in the descriptive passages and really feel the moss covered heaviness of the laid back south. Shrimp and grits, marsh grass honey, pluff-mud, spanish moss and live oaks, it's all in there. The undercurrents of mystery and secrets keeps you turning the pages. The book gives you a feel for the history, culture and traditions that make the area unique. Can't wait for More Brittan Lee, please...
