As book #3 in 3 days of my stack....Read and enjoyed Carol Preflatish's newest work, Exposure, A Coyote Canyon Mystery. I immediately liked hero, Sheriff Sam Winslow. He's not extraordinary in looks, education or physical prowess...just a hometown good guy. I am very impressed with Carol's attention to the details, delays and discovery tactics of small town law enforcement. The plot thickens throughout and I applaud the intricacies and tangents. My only regret was the very abrupt ending. Frustrating, so I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel about Sam, Millie and the Sheriff's office. Among 40+ authors, this book sold out at last week's very busy LaGrange Book Fair. Get yours and become a Carol Preflatish fan...I am."
