From Library Journal:
Breaznell, a first novelist, takes a very simple plot, gussies it up with Southern-decadent trimmings, adds a few oddball characters, and ends with a straightforward, easy-to-digest, and thoroughly untaxing book. Jim Harrington, feeling the effect of his wife's elopement with a horse trainer, lucks into a job as English professor at his alma mater in Sutherland, South Carolina. He lets a room from a little old lady (who also rents to a pear-shaped "queer" and an alcoholic redneck), fraternizes with old college friends, and discovers a huge uncut diamond after someone kills the redneck behind a tacky bar. Not much forward movement or intrigue, but interesting atmosphere.
