A grab-you who-dun-it. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. (can't even quibble about not really liking the ending, 'cause, imho, that happens sometimes, eh?) What's not to like...story has beautiful Montana scenery, snow, horses (not enough horses, lol) mystery & intrigue, more than one 'go-get-em-gal, dudes, beer, etc. It's been said that folks either love or hate Butte. I've lived in Butte MT...loved it. Really liked reading of places in the story that I recognized/remembered. Liked the various elements in the story and the nearly-at-the-ending twist. Hope author keeps writing and publishing.


Note: I was provided with a free e-copy of this book so I could give an honest review.




ps: SPOILER, somewhat.
I'm heartbroken that the M & M has closed...it's the end of an era, imho, the ending of a part of Butte history. I've spent many a time sitting at the counter watching the short-order cook--watching the sharp old waitress. Customers would stand around waiting for a counter spot to open up. That ol waitress would see a couple of folks that wanted to sit together, and there being only a couple of singleton seats at the counter, she'd pick up a customer's plate, often catching him between bites, tell him to bring his fork...and just shift him right down the counter to open up two spots together. Loved it.
