Open house to murder
Elizabeth Danniher finds house-hunting in Cottonwood County, Wyoming, difficult . . but deadly? That she never expected.
In television, a cold open rolls before the credits, pitching the viewer into the news story. That's how Elizabeth and her cohorts feel after she finds a body in a house for sale.
What do she, Mike, Diana, Tom, and the rest have to work with to fight the chill of murder? A victim with a hidden history, few suspects, and the sheriff's department not happy having Elizabeth as the first to find the body, making her the closest thing they have to a witness.
And then there’s Shadow’s history . . .
Finding a body sure puts Elizabeth’s problems in perspective . . . including a trip back east to wrest her belongings from storage and the clutches of her ex, a new home for her and Shadow, and the question of whether the cold will ever end...
