"While the mystery itself is twisty-turny and thoroughly engaging, it's the smart and witty writing that I loved the best." – Diane Chamberlain, bestselling author
"Colorful characters, intriguing, intelligent mystery, plus the state of Wyoming leaping off every page." -- Emilie Richards, USA Today bestselling author
What readers are saying about the Caught Dead in Wyoming series
“McLinn's mysteries set in Wyoming are addictive. The writing is excellent, the twists and turns keep the brain engaged, and Elizabeth's wry commentary keeps a smile on my face.”
“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."
“There's a real love for wide-open spaces in McLinn's writing, and it's a pleasure to visit the world she so beautifully creates. Can't wait for the next book(s)!”
“McLinn has created in E.M. a female protagonist who is flawed but likable, never silly or cartoonish, and definitely not made of cardboard.”

Wow,so good.
I love the characters in this series and this one was so good. Seeing Tom and Elizabeth and Tamantha building something together while reaching out to others made it really a Christmas special story in many neat ways.

A mystery from Christmas past
Elizabeth is asked to solve the mystery of a Christmas ornament tinged with murder. Not the usual type of crime Elizabeth and her cohorts solve, but it’s a mystery nonetheless and Elizabeth uses her investigative skills to put the story together.

This mystery was excellent as it involved love and not just Tom and Elizabeth but past generations. Christmas was the central theme in many ways but the story had secrets which finally came out to a select few and lives were made better for it!

Holiday Bullets(Caught Dead In Wyoming, Book 13)
I have really enjoyed this series. Book 13 begins to tie up loose ends and introduces a new significant character. New story lines must await the reader in Book 14.

Most excellent
I loved this from start to finish, so well written and in the true spirit of the season. A treat to have my favorite characters around.

Felt like there was still a lot left totally not answered but the warm and fuzzies from Tom and Elizabeth's Christmas kind of made up for it.

It's good. It's also frustrating. Mostly because the mysteries are based on real events & they don't make sense.

Another fast paced, strongly written story about characters we've long learned to love, with both a worthy 'mystery' and some very touching moments. I highly recommend this whole series (start from the beginning: you won't be sorry!)
