Her elderly neighbor kills a man apparently robbing her of Western artifacts. As a former top-flight national TV reporter, Elizabeth knows self-defense might satisfy the legal system, yet leave her neighbor in danger. Doing what she does best - asking questions - Elizabeth sidesteps her boss and a nosy, jealous anchorman to inquire into an eccentric and mysterious western billionaire, an ambitious curator, rival collectors, family feuds and Cottonwood County's Wild West crimes of a century ago. Digging deeper into these western murder mysteries, Elizabeth relies on her team of friends who are proving their investigative chops. Before this is over, Elizabeth will need every one of them - and the stray dog she's adopted - as her questions push someone to decide, that no matter who shot first, Elizabeth should die now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDon't miss Elizabeth \"E.M.\" Danniher's other adventures in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSign Off\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeft Hanging\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLast Ditch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLook Live\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBack Story\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCold Open\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHot Roll\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaction Shot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody Brace\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCross Talk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Colorful characters, intriguing, intelligent mystery, plus the state of Wyoming leaping off every page.\" \u003cem\u003e-- Emilie Richards, USA Today bestselling author\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat readers are saying about the Caught Dead in Wyoming series: \u003c\/strong\u003e\"McLinn has created in E.M. a female protagonist who is flawed but likable, never silly or cartoonish, and definitely not made of cardboard.\"\"I love the whole series Caught Dead in Wyoming. The writing is witty and sharp; the story is gripping; and the characters are so realistic. Even the supporting characters are fully defined and interesting. What I didn't expect was a renewed appreciation given by this \"inside\" view of the world of journalism. With all the current focus on Fake News, I loved being reminded of how vital news people are to our society. E.M. Danniher changes her community and certain individuals - for the better - due to her dogged pursuit of truth and justice.\"\"I confess to being addicted to this series and characters. I LIKE them. I wish they were real.\" \"E.M.'s internal monologues are sharp, snappy and often hilarious.\"\"A terrific series with a western flair. . . . Great characters that you would want as your friends. Smart, funny, but not perfect.\"\"Hoping this series lasts forever!\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMore cozy mystery from Patricia McLinn\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecret Sleuth series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath on the Diversion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath on Torrid Avenue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath on Beguiling Way\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath on Covert Circle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath on Shady Bridge\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath on Carrion Lane\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf you like mystery with romance and a bit of humor, try also: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Innocence Trilogy\u003c\/strong\u003eProof of InnocencePrice of Innocence\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePremise of InnocenceRide the River: Rodeo Knights (includes cameos from Caught Dead in Wyoming characters)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUSA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn spent more than 20 years as an editor at the Washington Post after stints as a sports writer (Rockford, Ill.) and assistant sports editor (Charlotte, N.C.).
