From Goodreads:
Myra Cade is a single mother, living with her father, Doug,
and raising her son, Scott. She mostly keeps to herself and really has no time
for anyone else. But shortly after serving paternity papers to Danny, the
suspected father of Scott, she’s found dead at the side of the road in the
country. Caroline and her cousin Janet, who are taking Western riding lessons
at the nearby Robinson Ranch, find themselves drawn into the murder
investigation and looking for the missing boy and the murderer.
My Thoughts:
Talk about a book gluing you to your seat until you finish
it, this book is it. When Myra is found
dead and her son is missing my first concern was not with who killed Myra, but
with who took Scott and why. Throw into
all of this the fact that Myra’s father is very ill and you have a mystery to
keep you turning pages. Of course Danny
is the first one you suspect. But, this
author is good at throwing out little bread crumb clues and leading you to
think one thing only to throw out another bread crumb that leads you down
another path. You, the reader, find yourself right there along with Caroline
and her cousin Janet trying to solve this mystery. I’ve not read the first book by this author, “Cemetery
Whites”, but it is on my list to read. As a reader/teacher who reads
predominantly books for kids and teens, it is refreshing to find a new author
who can keep my attention and make me want to read more of their work. Great job Connie Knight.
