Publisher Description
A spiritual and riveting follow-up to Jacob's Ladder, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is ultimately a story about redemption, and the chariots that carry each of us from hardship and darkness, to understanding.
When her husband left her for a younger woman, Rose Franklin bought a camper and started traveling. Eventually, she put down roots in Shady Grove, a campsite along the Mississippi River in West Memphis, Arkansas, where she has lived for almost two years now.
After helping to solve two murders in the area, Rose is now entangled in the murder of a young man from South Dakota—a murder which Chariot, a young woman at the Shady Grove campground, stands accused. As Rose tries to help her friend Chariot out from under the shadow of suspicion and solve the murder, she also struggles with unresolved maternal instincts, and her own difficult choices.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of Lynn's charming third Shady Grove mystery (after 2007's Jacob's Ladder), series heroine Rose Franklin, who's temporarily in charge of the West Memphis, Ark., campground, takes in Chariot Stevens, a young woman who has fled her South Dakota home, where she witnessed the murder of her boyfriend, Jason Holmes. Chariot is barely settled at the tent site before she's arrested for Jason's murder. Rose and her Shady Grove friends must help prove Chariot's innocence by finding out what Jason stole to precipitate his murder and persuade Sheriff Montgomery not to allow Chariot's extradition to South Dakota. After many an exciting twist, a worse-for-wear Rose joins Shady Grove's owners in a last-minute deliverance that will have the reader breathing a very satisfied sigh of relief.
