5.0 out of 5 stars An enthusiastically recommended novel that is as entertaining as it is engaging from beginning to end, February 7, 2006

This review is from: What Lies Buried: A Novel of Old Cape Fear (Hardcover)

Nothing is as it seems in pre-Revolutionary Wilmington, North Carolina. Respected political leader Harry Tresmayne has been found murdered beside a lonely road in Cape Fear, and the more his friend Matthew Livesey uncovers about Harry's private life, the more he finds motives for murder. The suspect list ranges from the elite to the lowest-born of the region. Matthew Livesey and his family find themselves facing dangerous consequences as a cold-blooded killer is run to ground. Dewey Lambdin is an expert author of historical novels, and once again has employed his considerable talents in creating strange characters, accurate period dialogue, and historical accuracy to infuse this deftly written murder mystery with local color. The result is an enthusiastically recommended novel that is as entertaining as it is engaging from beginning to end.

This book was well written, as all his books are. The history of this pre revolutionary period was interesting.
However I did not enjoy this book as much as I do his sea storys.
