Synopsis: Saddle up for a Texas-sized mystery that’s “well-paced and written . . . which had me roaring with laughter . . . a great read” from the author of Fit to Be Dead (Kings River Life Magazine). Aggie vacations with her friends, detective Sam Vanderhoven and Meredith Laughlin, at a Texas Hill Country dude ranch with plans to advise her column readers how to stay young and fresh in summer. Except for wranglers, dudes, heat, snakes and poison ivy, what could go wrong? When an expert rider is thrown from a horse and lies in a coma, Aggie is convinced somebody caused the fall. Despite Sam’s warnings, Aggie is determined to expose the assailant. She concocts ingenious sleuthing methods that strain their dicey relationship as she probes secrets of the ranch and its inhabitants. After she scatters a hornet’s nest of cowboys, she discovers more than one hombre in the bunch would like to slit her throat. “Spiced with up-and-down encounters between Sam and Aggie . . . a satisfying mystery with complex characters and a plot that builds to a satisfying crescendo.” —Midwest Book Review
