Rodeo Crime Ring

by Danica Winters

Two deaths…

Reveal a deadly conspiracy

Sheriff’s Deputy Emily Monahan is the first officer on the scene when Cameron Trapper finds his father’s lifeless body. A search of the West Glacier Ranch reveals that what started as a suspicious death is actually a double homicide. Despite her instant attraction to the rancher, she knows that Cameron is off-limits. He’s a witness—and chief suspect. But she can’t help feeling for him as their hunt for a killer organization forces him to question everything he’s always taken for truth. Will he still trust her when their investigation implicates her ex-husband?

[Rhonda Petersen · Rating 3 out of 5]

The title of this book had absolutely nothing to do with the plot. I kept expecting them to talk about a rodeo but that never happened. I did enjoy the casual Montana references the author dropped like mentioning Havre and Highway 2. I did think that the author played a little fast and loose with how law enforcement works. I don't think they would have approved of her bringing home a potential suspect the day of the murders.

Enjoyed. The mystery was interesting with a few twists I wasn’t expecting. I never understood why Emily kept a second gun in a belly band. Seems dangerous and uncomfortable. The title is never explained - there is nothing about a rodeo in the book. I am going to try the second book in the series.
