Laura Fleming is a computer programmer living in Boston with her husband, a Shakespeare professor in a local college. In nearly all of these novels (with the exception of Country Comes to Town), Laura travels to her hometown of Byerly, NC, a fictional town in the western part of the state... and when she does, trouble breaks out! Time after time, Laura's amateur detective skills are called into play as she gets to the bottom of a murder.
In between catching criminals, Laura introduces her husband to the South. Kelner describes Byerly as "based on my memories and knowledge of Southern mill towns like Granite Falls, Conover, and Dudley Shoals. If it were real, it would be near Hickory, NC with its own exit off Highway 321."
Included in this lot are the first 7 books of the series. (I never picked up book number 8.)
