Another winner from Holly Copella
Holly certainly knows how to write an action novel. I expect much more from this author in the future.
The Town Darling has just discovered that is how people think of her. She is concerned about corruption throughout the town. Her family is killed. One of the sheriff's deputies has it out for her.
She deals with the deputy and corruption. I am sorry this sounds oblique, but I don't want to give any spoilers.
The only reason I am being stingy with the stars is because I guessed who did it early in the book.
