In the latest addition to this acclaimed series, PI Stranahan and Sheriff Ettinger reunite to investigate a young girl’s death
It’s April, but there’s still
snow on the Montana mountains the day a member of the Madison River Liar
and Fly Tiers club finds a Santa hat in the chimney of his rented
cabin. With the flue clogged and desperate to make a fire, he climbs up
to the roof, only to find the body of a teenage girl wedged into the
chimney. When Sheriff Martha Ettinger and her team arrive to extract the
body they identify the victim as Cinderella “Cindy” Huntingdon, a
promising young rodeo star, missing since November.
Was Cindy murdered? Or running
for her life—and if so, from whom? Cindy’s mother, Etta, hires private
detective Sean Stranahan to find out. Jasper Fey, the girl’s stepfather,
believes moving on is the only way to heal. But Etta’s not willing to
let it go, and neither are Sean or Martha, who find clues to the death
in the mysterious legends of the Crazy Mountains. The fourth book in
McCafferty’s mystery series features a brisk, savvy plot and charming
yet authentic characters—perfect for fans of C. J. Box and Craig
Johnson.
