BLURB:
Moving to
Colorado seemed like a great way to start over. In Carolan Springs, Anne plans
to spend her days living the simpler life.
But when her
neighbor is found dead in his compost pile, trouble comes knocking on
Anne's door.
All the evidence
points to Anne's other neighbor, Kandi Jenkins. As the young woman begs Anne
for help, Anne finds herself thrust into a world of deceit and secrets.
Who had the most
to gain from Ralph's death? As the suspect list grows, Anne finds her desire
for the simple life may have led her to something sinister.

EXCERPT
“Come
on, Carson.” With a hard stare from the sheriff, Sam stopped. “I mean, Sheriff
Carson. I’m sure Ms. Freemont wants the killer caught like the rest of us do.”
“That’s
right. In fact, I have my own suspect list.” Shoot. Why did I say that out
loud?
“You
do, do you? Are you a private detective, Ms. Freemont?” He stepped closer.
“No.
But…” She inched back, stopping when her heel twisted.
“That
is the correct answer. No, you are not. You don’t know what you are doing, and
you need to stick to doing”—he appraised her—“whatever it is that you do. Leave
the detective work to the professionals.”
Was
he judging her by the heels she wore? She should never have let Kandi convince
her the dress needed heels instead of ballet flats. She bristled at his
appraisal. Well, she’d show him what she could do.
“Fine!
I’ll just figure out the suspect list on my own.”
“Ms.
Freemont, do you know that you can be arrested for interfering in a murder
investigation?”
“I’m
not interfering.”
“Good.
Let’s keep it that way.” He tipped his hat, “Ms. Freemont, Sam.” He strode
toward the pub.
Anne
sighed in frustration. That man is incorrigible.
