Who is the real Rita May Scott? Is she the sweet, outgoing, adventurous girl Jamie met in the late ‘50s? The devoted wife and mother of three after she married Russell? The mysterious woman on trial for murdering her not-so-secret lover? Is she the crazy woman who drove her new car through the front door of the Davis Grill and wound up in a mental institution? The highly competent and caring psychotherapist dedicated to helping others? Or is she the lunatic who hired a hit man to kill her husband? Can it be that the beautiful and seductive Rita May is all of these and more? And why can’t Jamie stay away from her? Set in the deep South of the 1950s through more than a half-century later, Robert R Randall’s latest novel is, by turns, suspenseful, heartbreaking, sobering and hilarious. Rita May is truly one of a kind.
