Fall comes to Pepin County with a vengeance as Deputy Sheriff Claire Watkins confronts a new evil festering beneath the placid surface of the Wisconsin farm community. A refugee from the Twin Cities, Claire has slowly adapted to small-town life - especially now that she loves and lives with Rich Haggard. But in this rural area, other folks are dangerously restless. One is Daniel Reiner, a wealthy part-time resident who’s been buying up too much land - at least as far as the locals are concerned. Another is gambling addict and aging gold digger Patty Jo Tilde, who recently married a widower twenty years her senior. Patty is itching to inherit her husband’s property, sell it to Reiner, and leave the countryside behind. The only stumbling block - her husband must die. Add to the mix a suspicious goat-herding daughter-in-law and a wounded elk, and things quickly reach a boiling point. As Claire Watkins delves deeper into the mystery, she believes she’s uncovered a deadly history of lies, deceit, arson, and poison. Her problem is to prove it - and then she learns what happened to Patty Jo’s last husband. . . .

"very good local gal. love whoever did her dust jacket...:)"
" 2nd in series featuring Deputy Sheriff Claire Watkins; I liked Bone Harvest more. Thoughtful, family component--think Libby Hellmann, e.g. Moderate/low violence. "
" The whole first half was slow, but once we crossed the midway point everything picked up nicely. Overall not a bad read for the car rides. Another dollar bin success. "
" Not as good as Bone Harvest but better than Glare Ice... "
" Billed as a "novel of Suspense" it was dull and boring. Suspense never happened because nearly every POV was given, hence nothing was "hidden" to be suspenseful. "
" Eh, this book was okay. It wasn't as engaging as her previous, but it still held my attention. "
" Ok story, predicable though, which does not make for a great mystery. "
