Book Summary
In the sleepy town of Heber, a strange 911 call is made to report an unthinkable crime: someone has murdered a woman . . . and her body has been found in Rhett Ketchum's barn. Rhett, a well-known rodeo cowboy, is placed firmly at the top of the suspect list—the only problem is, he's innocent. As officers search tirelessly for the evidence needed to lock him up, Rhett takes matters into his own hands.Max and Patches Fisher are the father-daughter duo behind the unconventional PI firm Short Investigations, and they agree to undertake the task of proving Rhett's innocence. Soon the list of suspects begins to grow, and Rhett feels a glimmer of hope—and an undeniable attraction to Patches. But when the officers on the case become targets themselves, it seems they may be the ones in need of protection. As events take a deadly turn, it's up to Max and Patches to uncover the truth before time runs out.
My Review
I know when I pick up a book written by Clair Poulson that I'm getting ready to read a great mystery. He always delivers an outstanding story with an intense and detailed plot that keeps you guessing until the very end. The story veers off in many different directions and several mysteries are figured out along the way; even the murder that takes place in the prologue ten years before. This author knows a lot about law enforcement since he was a police officer and Sheriff for many years. You can tell by the many details he uses in his story that he knows his stuff. This is one of the many reasons why I like to read murder mysteries by Poulson.
There are a lot of great characters in this book and I liked Max and his daughter, Patches, the PI's trying to help solve the case. Rhett or Shorty as everyone called him,is a likable character and you know that he didn't kill the woman found dead in his barn. Or did he? I'm not telling! There's a hint of a romance, but it's not the main focus in this novel and suspense truly is leading the momentum. This book is an incredibly quick read because you want to find out who's behind all of the deaths, assassination attempts, and other foul things going on in small town Heber, Utah.
I recommend this book for those looking for a small town murder mystery with a fast pace and many twists and turns.
