A Field Guide to Homicide

Lynn Cahoon’s A Field Guide to Homicide

Cat Latimer is getting ready to host
a writer’s retreat at her B&B located
in Aspen Hills Warm Springs Resort
in Colorado.
This retreat tends to be different right
from the beginning. The retreat consists
of two married couples plus a single
college student.
Cat’s boyfriend Seth has his mind on
his army platoon reunion plus setting up
a hike with a field guide he wrote to use
with the retreat group. He doesn’t want
to talk about his time in Germany.
Then on the hike the retreaters lead by
Seth discover the body of a goldminer.
Surprise....this is a former member of his
platoon. This man was supposed to be
dead for over ten years killed overseas
so how can this goldminer be dead again?
Uncle Pete is in charge of the investigation.
This puts a dent in spending time with his
woman friend, Shirley. Shirley is retired
law enforcement from Alaska. She was a
retreat alumnus from a former retreat.
Meantime the cook at the B&B, Shauna
is down about what she thought was to
be a reunion with her brother. Her brother
just wanted her to invest the money she
inherited. What will she do? Shauna also
has a beta reader for the cookbook she
is writing. She is keeping the beta reader
a secret.
I enjoyed the subplots within the main
complex murder mystery plot. This kept
my attention from wandering as the
action was fast paced from the first
word until the ending.
I thought all the characters were well
written, cleverly crafted, well defined
and interesting. I felt the relationship of
the characters between with each other
as tastefully written.
This is book # 6 in the Cat Latimer Mystery
series. It can be read as a stand alone
I volunteered to read A Field Guide to
Homicide. Thanks to Kensington Publishing
via Net Gallery for the opportunity.
