BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY PLUNGE is the second novel in the Rachel Myers Murder Mystery Series. Finding that she cannot go through with her planned-down-to-the-last-detail marriage to long time lover David in Flagstaff, Arizona, amateur (and nearly always reluctant) sleuth Rachel Myers returns to where she was born in the small Appalachian Mountain community of Laurel Hill, North Carolina. She's enjoying settling into her childhood home, and having plenty of space to indulge her passion for gardening, while waiting for her new job as administrator of an exclusive retirement center/nursing facility to begin. Then, an old family friend, Isaac Starling, begs Rachel to look into the suspicious death of his seventy-three year old lifetime friend who has been found dead at the bottom of a sheer two hundred foot cliff along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The coroner has ruled accident or suicide, but Myers finds a murderous trail that began fifty years before in 1958 and has wound a deadly path all the way to the present.The murderer has the perfect cover and the perfect weapon. Rachel Myers has only hope, hope that her new lover, Detective Robert Barnett, will show up before it's too late.
