Title: Faux Finish
Description: After retiring from her position as Chief of the Police Investigations Unit in Columbia, SC, Molly May returns to her native North Carolina in search of a quiet life.  In no time at all, just before Christmas, her quiet town of Higgins Grove confronts its first murder in decades.  Molly is drawn into the case by a long-lost relative of the victim and by her inability to leave a puzzle unsolved.  This is an old-time cozy detection novel with many clues, many suspects, and a surprise ending.  As Agatha Christie said, "Very few of us are what we seem."
