The Live Oak Motel

Think Twin Peaks, with a heavy dose of Tennessee Williams and a dash of Agatha Christie, and you will be somewhere on the way to Lydia Tilden Bigelow’s The Live Oak Motel. The Live Oak Motel, located in Progress, Georgia, is the scene of a murder that affects the lives of the motel’s nine permanent residents in ways none of them could have imagined. As we weave in and out of different tales, a gentle satire develops, and nothing is sacred! Lydia Tilden Bigelow combines sharp humor with a penetrative understanding of the human makeup, stripping away the outer shell of reality and revealing the bare, and often hilarious, truth. From life in the South, to the literary traditions of detective fiction, nothing escapes Lydia Tilden Bigelow’s keen observation and earthy wit.
