"I have read all seven of the first books of this series and I plan on reading all of the rest. If you are ready for a good read that will hold your attention, start this series. You won't regret it."--5 stars, Kindle customer

Charlie gets her newest case (the seventh in this bestselling mystery series) when an ill-tempered female attorney hires her to find the family's missing patriarch in time for an upcoming family reunion. The elderly man took off two months earlier to do some gold prospecting in the hills of southern New Mexico. Charlie agrees to ask around but privately she thinks the old man probably just left town to avoid his irritating daughter.

However, when she visits the almost-ghost town of White Oaks, Charlie comes upon a body that could be the missing Willie McBride. The mystery deepens and Charlie finds herself and her sleuthing partner, red retriever Rusty, hiking Arizona's Superstition Mountains in search of the truth. What she finds leaves her facing a huge moral dilemma and there is no one to ask for advice.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Having fun with my writing, and connecting with readers--that's what being a mystery writer means to me. And I LOVE what I do!

It began in 1985 when I started writing my first novel, without much clue how to go about it. Two years and 500 pages later, when I finally typed 'The End,' I felt a huge rush of excitement. That book took third place in the Southwest Writers competition and began making the rounds of publishers. I simply started writing my second, and then my third books.

After publishing ten of my Charlie Parker mysteries, I decided to branch out with a new cozy mystery series and I created the character of Samantha Sweet. One of the ways in which I earned a little extra pocket money during my high school years was to bake and decorate cakes--hence, a career for Samantha based on my own experiences.

In 2009 I switched publishers and was off on a new adventure, seeing all of my books made available for Kindle as e-books were just beginning to take off in the book world. It's been an exciting time in publishing--high points for me were reaching #1 on Amazon a few times and the Top 50 on the USA Today bestseller list. I'm loving the way e-books allow me to personally connect with readers all over the world via my newsletter and my website at connieshelton.com.

My favourite in the series, probably because I'm a rider and I like the outdoors. It provided a different setting outside the city and I enjoyed it. I know some readers object to too many food/meals descriptions but I don't mind (as long as I have something to nibble on while reading!) and I much prefer that to detailed information on the traffic as it often occurs in most of the books in the series.I recommend the series to people who enjoy a nice read with a mystery to unravel.

Charlie is just settling back into her house after it was refurbished after the fire the previous autumn.

Drake her new husband has been called away to help put out fires out of town.

Charlie's brother Ron is out of town having a holiday and she is left to run his Private Investigation agency which she now works at part time since getting married to Drake and helping him with his business.

An obnoxious women waltzes in the P.I. office and demands that someone help her locate her father who has not been heard from in months. Charlie explains that her brother Ron who is the P.I. is on vacation but she states that she wants her father locating now. Charlie informs the potential client that she isn't a licensed P.I. At this she still demands that she looks into her fathers disappearance since the Police said that he is old enough to go where ever he wants without informing anyone.

Charlie decides to take the case and then travels to a town where Willie McBride has been known to have gone prospecting previously.

It turns out no one has seen him for months but was told that him and his friend Bud who also hadn't been seen for a while.

As the story goes on Charlie finds Bud's body which had been shot in an old mining shack and no one is none the wiser of where Willie is.

The story takes Charlie to other towns following leads and in the meantime there is an explosion in White Oaks (town where Bud's body was found) and 2 bodies were burnt badly. It turns out one was a man and the other a woman (later on in the book Charlie learns that the female body was Bud's daughter.

Safe to say that Charlie finally tracks Willie down but he is reluctant to return home to face his bossy daughter Dorothy (who hired Charlie) and son Felix who are just after his money. Willie agreed to get in touch with his other daughter Beau to tell her that he was okay and didn't want to move back to house, she told him to sell it and live off the profits.

I am reading this series straight through from book one and honestly feel that Ms. Shelton has truly found her stride here with Charlie's character, as well as those of her clients and the people she meets as Charlie solves this latest case. Looking forward to the next book!
