Product Details

Synopsis

Asked to travel back to the South in order to help out a small-town Junior League with the compilation of their cookbook, author Jackson Tippett McCrae finds that he's bitten off more than he can chew in this tale of odd recipes, social climbing, Southern customs, blackmail, murder, and mayhem. This tasty morsel, from the author of The Bark of the Dogwood-A Tour of Southern Homes and Gardens, will keep you flipping the pages in order to find out what each of the ladies of the Junior League are really up to when it comes to the cookbook they're planning. And the way the town's sheriff and his outcast lady-friend figure into the equation only serves to enhance this literary feast, as they become more than the side dishes they appear to be, and spice up the plot with more than the expected amount of gusto. With the usual twists and turns found in McCrae's books, Barring Some Unforeseen Accident is sure to please even those with the most discriminating taste.

What's the recipe for a good book? Take one New York author, throw in an invitation from five members of a Junior League to come South to help compile a cookbook, add one redneck sheriff, one town outcast, a host of people who've died suspiciously, combine with some mind-bending plot twists, and you've got one delicious (and disturbing) concoction that's sure to be a conversation starter at your next get-together. Such is the case with the latest Jackson Tippett McCrae novel, Barring Some Unforeseen Accident-a mixture of Southern Gothic, down-home fun, and small-town idiosyncrasies, all cooked together in this literary delight, that's sure to, well, if not please, at least keep you up all night.
