Southern Fried by Cathy Pickens
An Avery Andrews Southern Fried Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: Minotaur Books
Winner of the 2003 St. Martin's Press/Malice Domestic Best Traditional Mystery Contest.
Avery Andres has just been downsized from her job in a law office in a North Carolina city and has returned to her small home town to lick her wounds and consider, with hesitation, trying to set up a law practice there. She quickly gets a client or two, and immediately the company building owned by one is destroyed by arson, and the body found inside was quite probably murdered.
Meanwhile, an old high-school classmate has told the entire county that he is hopelessly in love with Avery and makes several attempts at spectacular suicides, each one of them carefully set up not to work.
All in all, Avery finds that small-town life is not nearly so dull as she feared. And sometimes wishes it were.
