Crafts and Life

Cat and the members of her writers' retreat have just arrived in Outlaw, Colorado, an "Old West" tourist town complete with inhabitants dressed up as famous figures from history. But this authentic slice of Americana takes a murderous turn when a college student masquerading as a 19th-century saloon girl becomes history herself.

Was she the intended target? Or did she take a hit meant for someone else? With a cast of suspects to choose from–including some notorious gunslingers and the sleazy town founders–Cat must unhorse the real culprit before a real-life ghost story is given a killer twist . . .

Yet another fantastic story by Lynn Cahoon, and whilst I guessed the villain fairly quickly the twists and turns in the book kept me reading!

Cat, Shauna and Seth have another Writer's Retreat and this time they all come from the same area and all write something to do with the Old West and so one of the outings is to an old ghost town that has been turned into a re-enactment hot spot, the local Covington student is normally one of the staff (actually plays one of the Saloon Girls) but because she is on the retreat her roommate has taken on her shifts in addition to her own, no one would then expect Danielle to end up murdered! Even worse it seems that Jessi was the intended victim!

Now Cat needs to keep Jessi safe, run the retreat, stop the ladies from playing Nancy Drew, figure out what Seth is hiding, oh and help Jessi sort her life out, writing her teen centric novels seems a piece of cake after all that!
