Naked Came the Leaf Peeper (2011) is a round-robin mystery novel where multiple authors each contributed a chapter, building a single story set during autumn tourist season in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Vicki Lane was among the contributing writers, bringing her Appalachian expertise to the collaborative effort.
The anthology combines the mystery genre with the regional flavor of southern Appalachian autumn, when leaf-peeping tourists flood mountain towns — a seasonal dynamic that provided both setting and motive for the collaborative mystery.
