Review:

This is book for of the Callie Cassidy Mysteries.

I have read all of Lori Roberts Herbst books and she has become one of my very favorite authors. I find her books engaging and interesting. A “can’t put down” read!!

The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because their were snakes in it and I am deathly afraid of them. I can’t even look at pictures in a book or talk about them. Writing the word even freaked me out. I can’t read about them at all.
I did read this book and would skip over a paragraph when I read that word. That is my fear, not because The book wasn’t good. Luckily it wasn’t all through the book but it was mentioned several times and when I would see the word, I would skip that paragraph.

That being said I did finish the book and liked it except for those parts.

If you have liked the other books in the Callie Cassidy Mystery Series, you will enjoy this on.

This book takes us to Moonglow Dude Ranch in Maverick, Colorado for Callie’s best friend, Tanya’s, bachelorette party.
Their friend, Summer’s, Aunt and Uncle own Moonglow Dude Ranch. They are having trouble getting it opened because of nearby neighbors objecting to it. They even have the mayor involved to keep it from opening.

The bachelorette party seems to be going good until Tanya’s mother, Lydia shows up. Tanya and Lydia evidently don’t have a good relationship. I guess we could say that Lydia is a bit ‘over the top”..
Then to top everything off, there is a murder in the stable.

Maverick has an inept police department so, of course, Callie and her cop friend Lynn from Rock Creek need to investigate.

So who among the cast of suspects could have committed this murder!!

Along the way we meet a sexy ranch hand, Tanya’s mother, the tour guide, kitchen staff, the aunt and uncle (owners of the ranch), the billionaire neighbors who are protesting the dude ranch, staff, the guests at the bachelorette party and we even meet a psychic.

Read the book to see who the murderer is and all the drama leading up the final reveal.
