Pick a likely site on the North Carolina/Tennessee border. Add a cast of not so hardy oldsters on a high-ticket tour of the Southern Appalachians, the suggestion of malfeasance, a body or two. Amateur sleuths Sarah Pool and Isabel MacKirk strive to save their own lives and that of their friend before it's too late. It's kind of fun. It's free of objectionable language, sex, and violence.
