Vicki Lane draws on her decades of living in the mountains of western North Carolina to write mysteries rooted in Appalachian culture and landscape. Her Elizabeth Goodweather series, running from Signs in the Blood (2005) through Under the Skin (2011), follows a widowed herb farmer who becomes entangled in local mysteries that reveal the secrets and tensions of mountain communities.
Beyond the Goodweather series, Lane published And the Crows Took Their Eyes (2020), a standalone novel that moves into historical territory while maintaining her focus on Appalachian settings. Her writing brings genuine knowledge of rural mountain life to the mystery genre, avoiding the stereotypes that often accompany fiction set in the region.
