Crazy Mountain Kiss

The death of a young Montana rodeo star propels McCafferty’s terrific fourth mystery featuring artist, fly-fisherman, and occasional PI Sean Stranahan (after 2014’s Dead Man’s Fancy). When 16-year-old Cinderella “Cindy” Huntington is found dead in the chimney of a Forest Service cabin, it’s unclear if foul play is involved, but Cindy’s mother, Etta, hires Sean to do some digging. This means Sean will have to work with Sheriff Martha Ettinger, and things are tense between them since she recently called a halt to their romance. However, they undeniably make a good team, and what seems to be a straightforward death soon proves to be anything but. Sean and Martha find themselves embroiled in a family drama of epic proportions, as well as involved with a local “Mile High” club and an eccentric local mountain man. This is a must for fans of eclectic mysteries in which the setting is just as important as the characters. [em]Agent: Dominick Abel, Dominick Abel Literary Agency. (June) [/em]
