Hard Evidence
Roxanne Rustand

Contemporary | Inspirational Mystery

Claire McAllister was one rough riding ranch woman. Widowed with three daughters, she did what she had to do to survive, but that didn't mean that she didn't make enemies along the way. Now older with signs of dementia and Alzheimer's, her daughters must decide what to do to take care of her.

Janna returns with her daughter Rylie to the dilapidated Snow Canyon Lodge to refurbish and rebuild her own life after a divorce. The realization that her mother, Claire, is not quite the woman she once was is a haunting reality. The one thing that has remained the same is the loveless attitude that Claire exhibits towards her children and now grandchildren. That same attitude may have even caused the shadows in the dark that left behind more than just a grudge. When human bones appear, it is up to Janna to save her family from danger.

Thank goodness Janna's first client is the handsome Michael Roberston, the interim sheriff, and his son. The two have had some rough patches in their lives as well. The guilt caused by the accident that took Michael's wife has robbed him of years of love. Maybe there can be a new beginning for them in Wolf Creek. But first, he must solve the imminent danger of a murderer lurking around the lodge.

Clues that have been buried for years are now popping up. Are they enough to identify the killer or will the killer strike again before the mystery can be solved?

Roxanne Rustand's HARD EVIDENCE is a mystery laced with inspiration and romance. It is a special blend of genre that has something for everyone - a pleasure to read and suspense to boot. This is the first in a series of three books about the daughters of Claire McAllister. If the other two are as wonderful as this one, I can't wait for their release. An A+ read.

SUMMARY

isolated old cabins Janna McAllister was fixing up. Who was he? And what could he want with a single mother who hadn't set foot in Wyoming in years? Janna was suddenly grateful for her unexpected new lodgers: deputy sheriff Michael Robertson and his teenaged son. The strong, silent type, Michael made her feel safe—especially when human remains were found on the property. The cold case threatened to remain unsolved. Until Janna unwittingly found a clue that would tempt a killer to come out of the woodwork.
