Murder on the Cape Fear (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780975540459)

This sixth book in Ellen Elizabeth Hunter's popular Wilmington series is set in the Historic District where Ashley Wilkes, historic preservationist, is restoring a former blockade runner's home. Captain Pettigrew ran the blockade successfully before he and his ship disappeared during the final days of the Civil War. Letters found in the captain's house narrate his adventures in his own words. As Ashley's sister Melanie hosts a real estate investors weekend, Ashley stumbles over a corpse at Two Sisters Bookery. Then a terrorist threatens to blow up Memorial Bridge at the height of rush hour and Ashley's beloved Wilmington is thrown into panic and chaos! "Hunter's fascination with historic Wilmington is evident in the rich descriptions, and her list of murder suspects will keep the reader guessing until the end." - Our State Magazine, North Carolina "This author is one of my all time favorites. She provides a vivid picture of the area she is in and makes you feel you are right there. She has done so in all her books and still makes it interesting to want to read more of her works.

Thank you," Jan "I finished Christmas Wedding yesterday evening and I really loved it. You did a great job with the characters and elements of surprise as well as keeping it believable. I enjoy the historical information you include, it makes me want to come further south the next time we come to the Outer Banks.

They are wonderfully written - with characters you get to know and love and want to know more about. I thoroughly enjoy the descriptions of Wilmington - it sounds like a place I want to visit someday. To top that off, I am thoroughly enjoying the mysteries themselves - you have excellent plot twists and just when I think I've figured out "whodunit" I realize I'm wrong. I've been surprised every t
