Miss Woman

Ann Vaughan Richards. Livingston Press (AL), $12.95 (227pp) ISBN 978-0-942979-77-0

An eccentric stranger calling herself Miss Woman comes to Victoria, a small Southern town, singing the blues and bewildering the locals in Miss Woman, Ann Vaughan Richards's first novel. When a petulant Victoria woman is murdered, all eyes turn to the newcomer for lack of a better scapegoat, but our guileless narrator Willie Kay unmasks the real killer, and the mysterious Miss Woman in the meantime.
