Murder In Mayberry Small townsrnor villages continue to serve as popular settings for mysteries, especially cozies. Chris Cavender's Pepperoni Pizza Can Be Murder is set in Timber Ridge, NC, where everyone is on a first-name basis. The town of Atoka in Virginia's little-known wine-producing country is just an hour from Washington, DC, and the setting for Ellen Crosby's latest oenophile mystery, The Viognier Vendetta; people know one another there, too, but residents include billionaires and political luminaries. Susan Wittig Albert's The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree takes place in Depression-era Darling, AL. Here, neighbors share party phone lines and local gossip.
