The cover of this book does a disservice to this novel. The story grows on the reader. It is a distinct improvement from the previous two novels in this series. Ellie May's husband, Neal, has been dead for a year when Texas Ranger Matt Taggart arrives in town asking questions. He's stunned to find his best suspect for a stagecoach robbery is dead. Worse yet, the whole village of Haywire is in awe of Neal for losing his life while saving all the children as the school burned to the ground.
The strange thing is that the stagecoach money is still missing, and a senator's heirloom ring disappeared during the robbery. Ellie May believes her husband was an honest man. However, she has her problems. Ellie May was the daughter of an outlaw, and the town generally avoided her. However, her husband's death has raised her stature in the community. However, she barely makes a living for herself and her two children.
There's a great deal of internal conflict within the main characters as they try to grapple with the difficulties in their lives. Although this is the third of this Haywire, TX, series, this is a stand-alone book.
