" Even if this series could be better described as soap opera than crime drama, I am enjoying each of them as I read them. In this one, Joanna is elected sheriff - a position her deceased husband was seeking - and even before being sworn in, she becomes involved in a murder investigation. By the end of the story, she has solved the murder and started to learn the police "business" earning some respect from her subordinates. "
