North Carolina Reading...Fiction...A Killer Plot by Ellery Adams

-
I just finished a book called "A Killer Plot" by Ellery Adams.  Ellery is a native New Yorker that now lives in North Carolina.  Her book takes place in North Carolina, and that is why I decided to read it.
I love reading books that mention things related to North Carolina.  Although the town in the book is a fictional town, Krispy Kreme Donuts and Black Beard the pirate mentioned in her writings are not.
I liked the way she placed quotes from well-known authors at the beginning of each chapter.  I will share a few...

"Dying is a very dull, dreary affair.  And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it."
W. Somerset Maugham

"When one's character begins to fall under suspicion and disfavor, how swift, then, is the work of disintegration and destruction."
Mark Twain

I enjoyed the book.  It is an easy read and even with murder involved it is not too graphic.  I enjoyed the characters and of course the main characters dog and best buddy Havilland.
The link below is where you can buy the book if you are interested.  I am an Amazon Affiliate and will get a small percentage of any purchase you make on Amazon if you go through this link.  Don't worry it is of no cost to you:-)


Happy Reading everyone!
My next NC related book will be Deadly Encounter by Suzanne Adair.  Stay tuned.

A few weeks ago I took a trip to beautiful Lake Lure located in my state of NC.  Little did I know that there was a town called Buffalo under the Lake Lure waters.   I met a lady at a local restaurant that told me the town remains as it was, completely preserved under the water, an underwater ghost town.  On the Lake Lure pontoon boat adventure I took, I was told that Buffalo was burned to the ground just prior to the flooding. I went online to see what facts I could find about the town of Buffalo. Buffalo was a farming and mining community.  The population was approximately 150 people.  There was a church called Whiteside Valley Church of 1918 that had about 98 members.   The dam was built to generate electricity in the early 1900's, and just after the completion of the dam the town was flooded.    From what I could find online much of the town was torn down and relocated as were parts of the church.  The graves in the small grav...

One thing I love about travel is trying new restaurants.  Cindy and I found ourselves on an adventure in the Mooresville NC area near Lake Norman.  There is nothing like enjoying a meal by the water and when we read that Eddie's was on the water we decided to give it a try.  Off we went... Eddie's on Lake Norman Here is a quote from their website. "Eddie Lubic and Ann-Margaret Wagner bring their hospitality and restaurant expertise  from New York to the shores of Lake Norman."  View from our outdoor seating... Sadly it did not get the best reviews on Z omato , but for the view and casual dinning I would go back. The staff was friendly and service was good. Plenty of room outdoors and in.  Indoor seating  A bit of wine:-)   "Eddie and Ann-Margaret's mission is always to provide the freshest seafood, prime meats, produce, pasta, and bread every meal."  Eddie's We enjoyed our veggie and cheese platt...
