Couple Gunned Down%E2%80%94News at Ten

Moore follows Woman Strangled%E2%80%94News at Ten with another twisty and satisfying romantic thriller. Dallas news anchor Aspen Wicklow is ready to start her new job at WBFD-TV just as soon as she gets out of jail for felony charges incurred while shooting a coyote that was attacking her pug. When she makes bail, her boss sends her to investigate a haunted house, accompanied by intern Dainty Prescott (heroine of Moore's Deb on Arrival%E2%80%94Live at Five). Meanwhile, Aspen's sweetheart, prickly sheriff Spike Granger, tries to prepare for the next election while keeping an old friend of his from breaking out of jail. Lively and funny, the adventure moves along at a rapid clip, with plenty of action, entertaining side characters, and sharp dialogue. (July)
