Publisher Description
Private Investigator Ava Worthington and her partners head to the mountains to solve the death of a farmer's son. Without local cowboy Cory Mortel's protection, Ava won't get the chance to follow leads as the killer tries to stop her investigation. But Cory seems reluctant to get involved.
Cory Mortel has retreated to the seclusion of the mountains after a personal disaster. The last thing he needs is to babysit a beautiful amateur detective and her friends. But Ava seems to attract danger, so Cory has no choice but to step in and protect her.
One suspect after another is cleared from Ava's list until she's sure she has the real killer targeted in her sights, but he's hunting her, too--a dangerous fact when she's distracted by her growing feelings for the handsome cowboy who's there every time she needs him.
How will Ava and Cory find the killer and admit their love before they are buried under a mountain of secrets?
Customer Reviews
A totally unexpected ending
The young ladies of the Worthington Detective Agency were used to working together, but certainly had never investigated a murder before. What follows is a wonderful page-turner with lots of mystery, suspense and even a little romance. Without a great deal of experience, was it even possible they would solve this murder? Since a free vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains was thrown in, it was worth doing their very best!
The murder victim is the grandson of the owner of the lodge, but it would appear she really doesn’t want the murderer found. The local sheriff is less than helpful and the investigation seems to be going nowhere. Each of the well developed characters seem to have their own ghosts to deal with. The fact that someone is out to kill at least one of them, creates tension for them all. They learn that forgiveness is the only way to move on, leaving it all in God’s hands.The ending was a complete surprise to me and totally unexpected.
