Description

Elizabeth Blau upended her life in the city to move to the Middle of Nowhere and start over. She reconnects with her estranged brother and begins her new life. First, Elizabeth lands a great job, then a date, and her luck seems to change for the better. But when the man's body is found mangled in a ravine, the murder rocks the small town as fault descends upon the Blau Family.

Frustrated with the pace of local law enforcement, Elizabeth investigates loose threads among the ranchers. But when she starts to dig into the past, she gets a warning: folks don't like outsiders poking around, and someone is on a mission to scare her out of town.

With friends becoming enemies in a landscape forged for hiding true intentions, Elizabeth must unravel the accumulating evidence to name the murderer. After one attempt on her life, if she can't organize the proof in time, she will be the next target.

Reviews

  • Interesting premise. Disappointing story line.

    I really wish authors wouldn’t make the heroines make such stupid and dangerous decisions. In this one, Elizabeth ended up confiding in and trusting the wrong people, putting herself and her son in danger. As for one of the killers, there is no way Roz would have killed herself by drinking antifreeze. She would have made a run for it. And by the way, antifreeze doesn’t work that fast! I realize this is fiction, but please make it believable!

    I just loved this book. I didn’t want to put it down and I didn’t want it to end either. I even liked the ending because it didn’t just leave you hanging. It gave closure but also a want for more, so the next in the series is on my to-do list. Thanks.
  • Easy read, great characters

    I got this book initially because it was free. I would have paid for it, it was great !! The characters were intertwined well and relatable ! I bought the book that comes after this to keep following the characters.
  • Predictable

    It had a good story line but was very predictable. There were a few surprises tho.

    Very good story, well written - but again I was hoping that Rhett would speak before it ended.
  • Loved the book

    The only negative I have is the over use of alcohol in the book. The writing is great. As is the story. I knew who the killer was, way before the end.

    The New Teacher was good to read , I sure thought the cousin did it . Kade, murdering Justin out of jealousy for going out with Elizabeth . What a crazy wife and sister to be all about money
  • Good story

    The only thing I didn’t like was that the boy never talked. The characters were fantastic and the story was great. I loved the suspense.
