Jill and Doug are assigned a low key, routine investigation back near Jill’s home in Spearfish SD. They get to spend time with Jill’s family and Doug’s mom with some hilarious interactions.
In typical Fletcher fashion, their “routine” investigation quickly becomes a brutal murder at a local rodeo. With bizarre clues leading the way, the investigators work with local law enforcement to take down the murderers. If you have not read a Dean Hovey mystery, you have missed out on a real pleasure. Mr Hovey crafts his characters so well that you can see and hear them right there with you as you read. Do you self a favor and indulge yourself with one of Dean’s creations.. – Greg Peterson
