Tar Heel Dead: Tales of Mystery and Mayhem from North Carolina

Tar Heel Dead, edited by Sarah R. Shaber is a wonderful collection of mysteries all written by North Carolina authors or authors who are connected with the state. It must be the water. Is there another state the size of North Carolina that has more authors? This collection of authors, O. Henry (Porter) Maron, Shaber, Braun, Cantrell and Malone to name just a few, represent the finest writers the state has produced. All of the stories are sharply written. They are concise, crisp, and colorful with characters that are interesting. The book itself is small and perfect for traveling. Going anywhere and need a good book to read. Tar Heel Dead is for you.

I have really enjoyed these stories by North Carolina Authors. Some have very famous names and some are little known writers. I would recommend this book to all ages. It is a great book to have by the side of the bed. And now I will look up the author's other works for future good reading.
