Some of my friends, my wife, and I have had the good fortune to stumble upon the mysteries of Kathryn R. Wall, a retired accountant from Ohio who lives on Hilton Head Island and writes entertaining mysteries, filled with a fair share of the island's local color.
The plots are well-concieved and engaging, but it is the characters and the atmosphere of the Soth Carolina Lowcountry that set her novels apart from the many other mysteries. The main character, Bay Tanner, who somewhat accidentally becomes a private investigator, is an independent, intelligent, & willful widow who interacts with a cast of other interesting and unique characters.
Although, to date, Wall has written eight Bay Tanner thrillers with a variety of ingenious plots, they are not readily available in the big-box bookstores outside of the Lowcountry. But one can easily find them on the internet at amazon.com and similar sites.
